This simply?isn't?true - put a beginner on Valegro (the Gold medal winning horse in the individual dressage, ridden by Charlotte DuJardan) and they will probably end up on the floor, much like you may do on a donkey at Blackpool!?For years riders have been doing themselves a disservice, by spending hours preparing the horse for competition, but not themselves.
Riders may think nothing of spending ?80 for a physiotherapy or McTimmoney session for a horse, or ?200 on ?this seasons? rug, but ask a rider if they go to a gym or use a trainer, they will probably laugh, before asking are you serious!
Yes, the best way to get fit is to ride; however there are many things that can be done to get the most out of the time in the saddle. It is also likely that how we ride might be being compromised by muscle imbalances or a lack of stability. So, here is a basic, functional programme outline designed specifically for a rider in mind.
| Cardio: 5 mins cross trainer Dynamic flexibility (10 reps each): Squat to overhead swing, lunge and rotate, dynamic backline release | ||
| Seated Swiss ball cable pull | ||
| Seated Swiss ball cable push | ||
| Rotational shoulder press | ||
| 4 each leg, single leg lift | ||
| Static stretch (20-30 secs each): Gastroc, pecs, adductors, hip flexors, lats, quads, hamstrings, glutes | ||
