| If Captain Cat were human, he would look just like this. The Can Opener does not. |
Can Opener: So. This Voyaging Fitness Routine you've been researching for me... result?
Captain Cat: It's a work in progress. Here's what I've got so far...
While at sea
Muscles
- muscle work with resistance tubing ($10-15 at Walmart)
- TRX Suspension Trainer (costs about $150-200)
- stretches and yoga (cost of a DVD)
- giving the Captain his daily massages
- heavy lifting of fresh-caught fish into Captain's dinner dish
Aerobics
- This is a lot harder to find an answer for at sea. The Voyager's Handbook recommended some ship-size Mini Stepper, Stairmaster-type equipment ($40 at Walmart). Don't know how well it would work if we were heeling. It looks like just one more thing to pack, but we'll check it out.
While at the dock:
Add more aerobic exercise to the above...
- jogging
- skipping rope like a boxer
- cycling and kayaking (folding bike and kayak on the 'potential equipment' list)
- swimming / snorkeling excursions
- dragging the Captain's groceries home
That should about do it.
Can Opener: Er... what about fitness for you, mon capitaine?
Captain Cat: I am a perfect specimen. There is no improving upon this.
And I will exert myself to keep our yacht mouse-free at all times. Just as I do in our current abode.
Can Opener: How would anyone know if you're any good with mice? There's nothing here to catch!
Captain Cat: Exactly.
