A sound mind in a sound body.  

Physical exercise is an essential part of life, no matter where you are. For those working on board vessels, it is especially important to engage in regular physical activity. This not only helps maintain physical fitness but also plays a vital role in ensuring good mental health, the topic we are focusing on with high attention. Any bodily activity alleviates stress and increases the feeling of well-being.

The nature of work on board vessels requires seafarers to often engage in strenuous physical activities, such as lifting heavy loads and climbing ladders. However, this alone cannot maintain optimal levels of physical fitness.  

Marcap has assigned a professional coach who is regularly visiting available vessels to transfer knowledge of simple but powerful exercises. Studies have shown that regular physical practice can help prevent a wide range of health issues, including heart disease, obesity, and even depression. A complex approach offered by Julian Constantinescu helps to achieve an overall high level of energy and keep the body in a good shape with 15-20 minutes per day only without exhausting yourself, without any need for additional equipment or too much space.  

For ship crews, physical exercise programs can be implemented onboard to help prevent illnesses and injuries while at sea. Physical activity can be incorporated into daily routines easily by performing stretching exercises in the morning and evening.

Overall, physical exercise is an essential component in maintaining a healthy body and mind, especially for seafarers who spend much of their time aboard vessels. A consistent exercise routine can boost morale, increase productivity, and help prevent incidents. It's time we start paying attention to the importance of physical exercise and take steps towards improving our health and well-being.
