The Best Sailing Recovery! - Fitness Friday with SPT

This is a post sailing recovery appropriate for all sailors. The goal of a recovery session is to be ready for your next sailing session and to decrease the risk of injury by: improving range of motion, restoring muscle tissue, and enhancing overall energy. Minimal equipment is needed for this session, including a foam roller and a band or rope. Recovery is a key part of a training plan and will directly impact your ability to perform each day. Here is the 20 min Total Body Sailing Recovery: Foam Roll Quads 1 Min/Leg Foam Roll Calves 1 Min/Leg Thoracic Extensions 1 Min Trigger Point Glutes 1 Min/Side Hamstring Stretch w/Band 1 Min/Leg Adductor Stretch w/Band 1 Min/Leg Abductor Stretch w/Band 1 Min/Leg Quadruped Cross Body Stretch 1 Min Alternating 90/90 w/ Arm Sweep 1 Min/Side Side-lying Shoulder Stretch 5 Reps/Arm Tricep/Shoulder Stretch 1 Min/Side Half Kneeling Quad Stretch 2 min/Side Complete the recovery session immediately after training, during your debrief, or as a unique session at the end of the day. With consistent recovery, you will better understand what areas frequently become out of balance or are over-compensated, thus, you will better understand how your body fatigues and where are the potential areas of injury. This practice will help you prioritize your mobility and strength training to appropriately manage your on-water demands. Interested in discussing your specific mobility restrictions?
