Sailing fitness

   If you burn more calories than you eat you'll lose weight, eat more than you burn you'll gain. Anything else is irrelevant. But to exercise more and/or eat less may require coping strategies so, if you need/want to lose weight do what ever allows you to achieve that aim.

	I eat absolutely anything that I want. Never considered any form of 'diet'....ever. I'm 53yrs old, 6Ft tall, hit 11 1/2Stone at about 16 and have barely budged above or below that in the subsequent years. I'd say, though, that I'm pretty active - through the Summer - and used to do a lot of running, MTB etc. However, what I would say is that I'm probably now the most unfit that I've ever been in my life. Even as a foetus I was probably fitter :-D People I take sailing are often surprised at how physically demanding our sport actually is. Whether you're pottering around or giving it the Ainslie-Beans racing. This year, as well as getting to grips with the Contender, I'm determined to at least grab back some of the actual fitness that I've lost in recent years.
