So I wanted to do a little follow-up on the episode I did last week about starting a training programme in January but this time from the perspective of an equestrian looking to start working on their own fitness
So here are my tips for Equestrians
Firstly I talk about those almost gymnastic-type workouts you see aimed at riders and how they are not necessary for 90% of people
That working on cardio is also important
Being realistic about the time that you have to train.. it will be less than you think it will
The importance of getting a coach when first starting out, just like getting lessons with your horse, if you're a beginner to gym work you will need help too
Thinking about how your body is engaging when you are doing jobs around the yard and how that can almost be extra training
The difference that strength training can make to muscle tightness, pain and your riding position
And that you don't even need to be in a gym to do this type of training
That we do everything for our horses but never look after ourselves
Make sure that if you have goals that you are making a plan to get there otherwise you will never reach them
