Without any context to a non sailor coming round that house I wonder what they would think the inhabitants were into.

I need to increase my cycling as I had a knee op some time back and now the pain is back.(knee replacement has been suggested)
Just want to get the best from this old body beforehand, as for the first time I have the money for a new boat and want to give it my best.

If only I had the money when I was young and fit

When I can keep to my weekly fitness routine this is what I do:
Monday: HIIT (10 mins)/ Lift weights (20 mins)
Tuesday: Rest
Wednesday: Run (30 mins)
Thursday: Rest
Friday: HIIT (10 mins)/ Lift weights (20 mins)
Saturday: Sail
Sunday: Sail/ Run (30 mins)

Make sure you have at least one rest day and if you are tired/ stressed don't push your body too hard. If you want to put on muscle make sure you eat enough calories before & after exercise. I like peanut butter, oatcakes and raisins as a snack. Plus the occasional protein shake

Stuck to the same fitness regime for the past 30 years (previous to that in my late teens/early 20s I was an active sponsored cyclist but a dodgy hip from a climbing accident put pay to that).


So thirty years of..


Mon/Wed/Fri ...I'm in the boxing gym 1.5hours. Still at 55y & 3wks I train with the younger guys but have seen a deteriation in strength in the last couple of years and no sparing for a good few years due to reactions deteriorating.


Thurs cycling... 20-30miles offroad. Any more and the old hip injury aches.


Sat/Sun.. Sailing. Only took it up about 6 years ago due to the realisation I was never going to be any good at windsurfing.


To be blunt.. I dont think it's that imperative to be fit for sailing unless you're hitting the water a lot. I've been beaten (still am) many times by blokes who get out of breath pulling their centerboard up.


Main benefit of the above is being the exact same weight/build I was 30 years ago but i would say the benefit to sailing is marginal.

A tiny bit off the topic, but just stumbled across an indoor winch grinding machine. Is that the next big thing after indoor cycling or rowing?

You would have to think of a trendy title for type of exercise ?

My gym had a less designer version a good 5 years ago. I was the only one that used it, it got removed soon after I joined the gym

Well I've just done 1 ½ races in a gusty F2-4 this afternoon and am knackered. My poor to average results are down, 50/50, to fitness and skill.

A good goal in itself, I'm about the same as I was 20 years ago at nearly 67 but not so fit. Definitely need to get a little back if I can.
