Hey, welcome to... Sorry.

It's okay.

Hey, welcome to 59 degrees north with Endishel. Enjoy the show.

Greetings, greetings. Welcome back to the 59 degrees north sailing podcast. It is Friday, September 12th.

So one of these I'm actually recording in real time. And I have to admit, this is the third time now that I've recorded this particular episode.

I edited it substantially between the first and second time.

The second time being just 20 minutes ago when I finished recording it and realized that I had the mic set on the wrong settings,

and it hadn't been picking up anything at all.

So I had a lot of practice recording this one. Anyway, this is episode number 52. It's called fit and healthy on board.

It's basically how Mia and I stay fit and healthy on Arcturus sort of adapting what we do all the time

when we're ashore or on the boat, but how it's changed is slightly when we're on the boat

due to the limitations of the smaller refrigerator, not as much space to exercise, this and that.

You'll see how that goes in a second. I'd love to hear your own ideas about how you guys stay

fit and healthy aboard, so please get in touch. Email me at 59-north, sorry, Andy at 59-north.com, or tweet at touch email me at 59 dash north sorry andy at 59 dash north.com or tweet at me

at 59 north sailing or of course on the facebook and everywhere else you can find me so without further

ado we'll get into episode number 52 staying fit and healthy on board and the days when i was coached

and i was never tired of sorts for the yellow in the hallhouse and then he's a place between. Well, I told me brother Seamus, I'll go off and I'll be famous. So go and tell the vice to me we're leaving here today. So goodbye for she'd jerk and I'm sick and time. Okay, here we go. How to stay fit and you on board. First off, what gives me the authority to write about health and fitness. When I was 18 years old and a senior in high school, I weighed 255 pounds. I wasn't sloppy fat, as I like to say. I played football in middle school. I was a center and played golf in high school, captaining my team in 11th and 12th grade. I held the high school squat record in the weight room for a few years. I've water skied since I was five and have snow skied since I was 11. So I was active, but I was huge. It goes without saying that I never had a girlfriend in high school, but was instead best friends with all the popular girls. I was that guy. I asked my mom

one day while we were tossing the football around the driveway if she'd help me get healthy.

She put me on the Atkins diet initially, whereby I shed a quick 30 pounds and realized what was possible.

I have to just add that my mom, ironically though she died of brain cancer in 2012, was by far the most healthy person

in our family.

She was a vegetarian, though she ate fish, and just generally really, really healthy in everything
