Health is wealth! As seafarers don’t always have access to fitness facilities and equipment when on-board, here are some simple exercises crew can do to maintain their physical and mental health during a voyage.

Workout plan for seafarers on-board

Seafarers often get heavily affected when it comes to travel restrictions and crew changes. Some mindfulness and discipline can assist a great deal while handling pressure during stressful times.

Taking the above into consideration, the Sailors’ Society introduces a 21-day workout regime. The plan includes 3 moves a day, 3 sets each, followed by breathing for 3 minutes after the workout.

The workout plan requires no equipment, but hydration is important. If the exercises are too difficult, kindly reduce the number of repetitions.
