This weeks episode is a little bit different. I hosted a masterclass on Equestrian fitness and I decided to take the audio from the masterclass and turn it into a podcast!
Masterclass Description:
In this masterclass, I’m sharing the audio from my free "Get Stronger in the Saddle with this Strength Training Method" session!
I dive deep into why strength and conditioning off the horse is a game-changer for riders.
Riding is a full-body workout that requires much more than just time in the saddle—core stability, leg strength, grip strength, and cardiovascular fitness are all essential.
If you've been thinking that just riding, yoga, or Pilates will cover all your needs, this masterclass will explain why off-horse training is key to unlocking your full potential as a rider.
I break down how you can develop the specific muscles that improve balance, control, and confidence in the saddle, as well as the importance of mobility work for preventing injury.
Whether you're an amateur rider looking to feel more secure or a more advanced rider aiming to enhance performance, this masterclass provides the tools and strategies to elevate your riding fitness.
In This Masterclass, I Cover:
The Physical Demands of Horse Riding:
Riding is an active, full-body workout. I explain how
core strength helps with balance,
leg strength keeps you stable,
grip strength aids in control, and
cardiovascular fitness improves endurance.
2. Why Strength and Mobility Training Off the Horse Is Essential:
The benefits of strength training for injury prevention, improving muscle balance, and enhancing body control.
How mobility work improves flexibility, allowing you to move more fluidly with your horse and reduce stiffness.
4. Why Riding Alone Won’t Make You Riding Fit:
Riding by itself can create muscle imbalances or overuse injuries. I explain why a strength and conditioning routine will enhance your riding, help you recover faster, and make you feel more secure in the saddle.
5. How to Get Started with Equestrian Strength Training:
I provide an overview of key muscle groups to focus on and how these exercises will help you feel more confident and in control during every ride.
I've even got a sneakly little offer only available to those who join the masterclass or listen to this episode!
