Return to Exercise Slowly
Horse and Rider
|Summer 2023
If you’ve been turned out to pasture for a while, as the result of injury or just a busy life, return to exercise in a safe and steady way
Exercise and fitness are a great way to improve your balance, strength, and flexibility, all of which will improve your riding. But when it comes to getting back into a workout routine after some time off, it's incredibly important to take your time and start slow, especially after time off due to injury.
Slow and Steady
Treat yourself the same as you treat your horse after he's sat for a long period of time. Create a progressive game plan to account for a slow and steady increase in intensity as you gain strength, stamina, mobility, and flexibility. It's important to make this game plan realistic to your lifestyle and your daily schedules so you can sustainably execute it.
