Members of Oracle Team USA focus on a well-rounded workout to prepare for the grueling, full-body experience of professional sailing. A warm-up consists of about 1.5 miles of swimming, solid stretching, and a spin on the grinder–which is kind of like pedaling a bicycle uphill but with your arms–for 30 minutes. (Yes, that's just the warm-up.) The main workout entails two and half hours of more swimming, three hours of sailing, and then a full CrossFit workout back on land at the gym. |
