Ada from ProBalance will be giving a free Pilates for Sailors demonstration on Saturday, June 18th from 11-12pm at the Bay Area’s “Summer Sailstice” event at Encinal Yacht Club in Alameda.
Finding ways to stay fit while cruising is challenging because of space constraints for both performing exercises and stowing equipment. This demonstration shows you how you can get a comprehensive, Pilates inspired workout, including flexibility, strength, and core stabilization training using items already found on your sailboat.
All you need is good quality line, a block, a sturdy object such as a mast as the attachment point, and a clever use of body weight for resistance. Ada will demonstrate many of the exercises and show how they may be adjusted to accommodate various fitness levels. Whether you’re looking to stay in shape while at sea or you are working out at home preparing to look great at your final destination, you’ll find this program fun and challenging.
