There is no doubt that staying motivated and maintaining fitness in the off-season is a challenge. However, sailors need to keep their training routine in place so that they are properly prepared for when the sailing season returns. Tips to help achieve this include following a workout schedule with specific goals to reach weekly and monthly. Mixing up the routine will keep it interesting over the long term and monitoring progress will help keep you motivated to continue to hit those goals.
