We know that most horse riders are a bit lazy about doing
exercises or improve their fitness at the gym. Because of that many of them
suffer injuries which could be prevented by practising some easy exercises. It’s
not necessary the use of machines or complex facilities. If you are a horse
rider, I advise you to take care of your health, get fit and maximize your
performance when sitting on your horse saddle.
Basic exercises for balance, against stiffness.

1º Marches abroad
2º Knees uo and down
3º Rotation of the waist on one side and another
4º Lean back, without moving your legs

stretch your muscles.
