Outside of a cardio, crunches, and stretching what would you consider being the five best exercise routines for catamaran sailing - something that can knocked out in an hour three times a week @ gym.

back exercises.

Rowing

anything that simulates pulling lines. Even better would be exercises that toughen up your hands for extended spin sheet/mainsheet sawing

I like the one arm curls! 12 oz at a time works best...

Just sayin

+1 also on the rowing machine. One of my early purchases for the Mahal when I'm done (getting close!!!) is a rowing machine to store under my workbench and use in the mornings while watching the news on my wall mounted TV.

pullups and chinups are good, do them in sets and add weight for more of a challenge. or do a ladder starting at 1 and keep adding more reps until failure. you can do rope pulls by tying a line to the cable machine to simulate sheeting. use about 75 lbs of resistance, with the adjustable pulley starting at your feet. and work up to doing 100 pulls on each side. start by doing 10-20 reps on one side and switch back and forth. those are 3 good exercises, good luck!

I have a rowing machine. Purchased becouse my doctor told me not to run.. Picked the machine up very cheap as a used unit. Lady who sold it had hardly used it and I think there are quite a few of these bargains around!

For cardio the machine is nice but too boring for me to do anything but intervals on. The rowing machine gives cardio and endurance but not strength. For strength training I have a pull-up bar, two gymnastic rings and a 10cm crashpad.

I mostly follow the workouts of the day here: http://gymnasticbodies.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12
I tend to add a few other strength elements. Takes me 40 minutes.
Cardio is 4x4s or even 4x1. HIIT as well some days. I usually mix in a hike up a hill close to the house, climing 600meters once a week or every other week.

This program is short and done at home. Very efficient and covers all muscle groups + balance, coordination, core strength etc.

For some new input on working out and a bunch of other fun stuff consider reading Tim Ferris: The 4 hour body. Fun read when taking a step back.

If looking for a high quality rowing machine, the Concept mk2 is the one I would look for.

Jake,

I'm shocked you haven't considered building one by yourself. You could use a weight with a few pulleys (like a pull-down machine) to simulate the resistance. Then just a roller seat and a straight beam...

or you could Carbon Fiber the whole thing...

Before our alley was paved, my wife wanted to get an exercise machine. As I ducked, I said, "I'll get you about 8 feet of 3/8" chain and you grab either end. Then when you march down the alley swinging your arms, you'll get in shape and smooth out the alley".

She did not appreciate my idea.

I've been doing a lot of crossfit style workouts, similar to what Bob posted above. A couple I've liked:

"Murph" Run 1 mile, then 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats divided as needed, run 1 mile

Run 200, 20 pull ups, run 200, 20 squats, run 200, 20 sit ups, run 200, 20 push ups - 5 rounds

I've also been swimming and rowing more because my knee dislikes me. When I swim, I try to do things like swim 300, 20 situps, 15 pushups, minute plank, kick 100- 4 or 5 rounds.

I crossfit too. I use Crossfit Amarillo's site as my source for daily WODs as we don't have a crossfit gym in my town. The only thing that is killing me is tendenitis in my left arm and it really gets angry when we're doing pull ups (which is all the time) and it makes it sore when sailing in big wind usually holding the stick on my 17
Otherwise, I am not sore, tired or anything since I have been a disciple of the CF Wod. Best Crossfit total to date (at 46 years old and 192lbs: 880 (one back squat, dead lift and push press adding the weight together)
