How to Tie a Cleat Hitch | Boating Tips

Learn how to tie a basic cleat hitch with GetMyBoat. Want travel + boating tips plus exclusive opportunities and exciting announcements? Sign up for our newsletter ⇢ https://www.getmyboat.com/ (We'll never spam you.) In this video, you'll learn how to tie a cleat hitch for a recreational boat roughly 50 feet. We used a J170 sailboat in this video. Follow the steps below to learn how to properly tie a cleat hitch. Step 1: Wrap the line under the horn of the cleat, around the backside of the cleat first, then the side furthest away from the opposite attaching point. The angle of the line from the cleat to the other attaching point should be less than 90 degrees. Step 2: Turn the line ¾ of the way around the base of the cleat. Do not cross over the line under the horns that goes towards the opposite attaching point. Step 3: Lift the line over the cleat, crossing the top, and then wrap the line under the horn. It should look like the beginning of a figure 8. Step 4: Pull the line back over the top towards the opposite cleat horn, crossing over the line that was just wrapped around the cleat horn. Make a small loop in the line and place the loop over the opposite cleat horn. Pull the line tight. It is important to spin the loop properly so that end result is one line over two perpendicular lines. If done correctly, the line will easily unload when needed. Looking for more tips?

7 Minute Workout Song (w/timer) | Tabata Songs

More Workouts: https//plus.tabatasongs.com #tabatasongs #7minuteworkout #ingerhoughton Inger Houghton demonstrates the entire 7 Minute Workout while listening to "The 7 Minute Workout" by Tabata Songs. (Get it on: Spotify, iTunes, Google Play). Just like other Tabata Songs, the music tells the listener when to Start, Stop, and which exercise is next. When we asked our Tabata Songs listeners what other workouts they do that could use some programed music and instruction (a la Tabata Songs), the overwhelming response was... The 7 Minute Workout! Well, you asked for it and we listened! The 7 Minute Workout, a scientifically driven sequence of movements famous by this New York Times article, has gone viral among young professionals with heavy work schedules. Our listeners' feedback stated that The 7 Minute Workout, just like Tabata, can be difficult without help of a timer and/or instruction. So we made our first 7 Minute Workout Song based off of our most popular Tabata Song ("Deep Orchestra Tabata"). The 7 Minute Workout consists of: • Jumping jacks • Wall sits • Push-ups • Abdominal crunches • Step-ups onto a chair • Squats • Triceps dips on a chair • Planks • High knees/running in place • Lunges • Push-ups and rotations • Side plank Left • Side plank Right http://www.itunes.com/TabataSongs http://www.Spotify.com/TabataSongs http://www.tabatasongs.com Inger Houghton @IngerInDubai http://www.Instagram.com/IngerinDubai http://www.shpdubai.com/ Get the Tabata Songs App: Android- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tabatasongs.tabataapp iOS- https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tabata-songs/id1331843150?mt=8
