Sail1Design is excited to announce its addition of Fitness to the website. This section will be covered by Rachel Bennung, Co-Owner of Sailorcise LLC. Rachel is a National Academy of Sports Medicine personal trainer as well as an AASDN nutrition specialist. Rachel has a huge passion for fitness; she has ran several half marathons and two full marathons. Along with fitness, sailing is Rachel’s other passion. She is a US Sailing Level 3 instructor. Rachel decided to combine her two loves together and create the business Sailorcise with her boyfriend Matt Goetting. Fitness in sailing is something the top sailors are doing, but not really talking about. Rachel hopes to share how everyone can maximize their performance with their physical fitness.
Fitness in sailing is something that is very important, but not talked about enough. Some people still see sailing as not being a real sport, basically because we don’t run around on a field to play, but more because they don’t understand it. However, sailing not only challenges your body physically, but mentally which may make it one of the most challenging sports out there. For sailors to be at their best, they need to implement fitness into their daily living. Fitness other then just sailing will help to maximize your performance while out on the water helping you sail longer, stronger, and smarter.
We will be bringing you all the latest in fitness and sports nutrition to help you feel better and sail faster. We will feature fitness videos of different workouts that are sailing specific. This section will help make working out fun and give you the tools to help you to maximize your performance on the water with your physical fitness.
