5.0 out of 5 stars ticks all the boxes 5 Jan 2011
By storm buoy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is the real thing I've been looking for to help me improve. You can read a lot about sailing tactics etc. but if you're body isn't up to it, it's a waste of time, you have to do the work. The author has been in the Olympics and a World Champ and is now a coach of current world champs, is sports scientist as well as a sailor is generous with what he's learned and experienced. Some of the training exercises are hard, much too difficult if you're not fit but it shows how to build yourself up. Good advice on diet which can really help. Worth having a look at his dvd of crossing Bass Strait in a Laser, you'd need to be REALLY fit to do that!

Sailing Fitness & Training is a must for anyone who has ambitions to sail competively. I bought this for my son who is competing at a high level in dinghy racing and both he and his partner found the book to be very informative. I actually picked up a few tips myself on nuitrition.....a very good package for the serious sailer

Cycling, hiking benches, water running (waist-deep) and weight training all give the thighs a solid work-out and with consistent training will help to improve the muscles' endurance while hiking. &quote;

only time carbohydrate intake (and all food in fact) may not be so appropriate is during the 10 to 60 minutes prior to a race. &quote;

In terms of what to eat, this is one time when a balanced meal isn't as important – the food needs to be mainly carbohydrates – bananas, bread, cereals, pasta, rice, fruit juices, low fat milk or yoghurt are all appropriate. &quote;
