As a Noob to sea breeze and also pretty bored with the crappy wind during winter I am not sure if a post like this has gone up before but I thought I would start a post to collect some ideas on the types of fitness workouts you all do in the off season to stay in shape for the impending summer.

I know I am likely to get all kinds of silliness posted but for those who are interested in sharing a couple of good workouts that they feel have helped them with their kiting I would be keen to keep this post going.

Happy to share a strength workout I did on the weekend which I think would certainly benefit my kiting:

Warmup - good 5 - 10 minutes of running and dynamic stretching

20 sets x 2 chin ups - alternate between hands facing forward with wide grip on the bar and hand facing backward with narrow grip on the bar and allow 20 sec rest between sets.

5 sets of 6 overhead squats (bar overhead)

5 sets of 4 front squats (bar on the front of your chest)

5 sets of 2 back squats (bar on your back) Its a lot squats but great for strengthening quads, butts and hamstrings to protect knees.

20 x 5 sets of hanging knees to elbows. Hang onto a chin up bar bring your knees to touch your elbows and slow release back to hanging (allow 30 - 45 sec between sets)

This provided for a general all over body workout and worked the big muscle groups you would use when kiting being legs, back, arms and abs its a solid workout.

Keen to hear what other types of workouts members do to stay fir in the off season.
