 |  Exercise without equipment at home?
I'm looking for some good tips on exercise you can do with more or less no equipment or very simple equipment, at home and on my small catamaran (about 5 square meters of flat deck space). I know push ups, sit ups (and swimming when anchored out somewhere)...but what else? And is it possible to set up a training program within these limitations?

Yes. I would suggest setting up a circuit with bodyweight exercises. Where you do 5-7 exercises in a row non-stop, rest 1-2 minutes and repeat the circuit again. You can also do time limits. Where you can do a certain exercise for 30-60 seconds before switching to another. So you have variety and don't have to do just reps. Also having 1-2 dumbells helps too. There are hundreds of bodyweight exercises out there.

T-pushups, dips, and pull-ups (palms away) and chin-ups (palm toward you) Your boat might have hardware you can perform the hanging exercises on... Also, I have been doing interval sprints and tabata intervals for the past 2 months, and have lost a considerable amount of fat while maintaining all the muscle I've gained through strength exercises. These may sound easy - I assure you they're not. Interval sprints: sprint as hard/fast as possible slightly uphill for 15 seconds, jog back to where I started. Repeat 8 times. Tabata rope: jump rope as hard/fast as possible for 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds. Repeat 8 times. I've done these 2-3 times a week with terrific results. I hate doing cardio for more than 10 minutes. And as you can see I try to keep it under 5 mins.  Last edited by chiffonade; 07-06-2008 at 06:31 PM. |

One-arm push ups, pistols, L-seat, bridge, putting lots of heavy books in a luggage bag or something like that and then lugging that thing around like a sandbag.
