Duration: 33 minutes
The Equestrian Workout 🐴 builds the strength, balance, and mobility needed for effective horse riding. Riding requires a stable torso, strong hips, and the ability to control weight shifts while maintaining a relaxed posture. This routine focuses on core stability, single-leg strength, and posterior-chain activation to help riders move with the horse instead of against it. It will benefit any person looking for increased hip control and mobility.
The warm-up activates the trunk and hip stabilizers. The workout develops balance, glute strength, and anti-rotation control through movements like one-leg deadlifts, bear crawls, and squats. These exercises improve coordination and stability during riding.
The cooldown targets hip mobility and piriformis flexibility to reduce stiffness from time spent in the saddle.
Ideal for riders looking to improve posture, control, and comfort while riding, while also reducing strain on the hips and lower back.
