VIDEO: Rider Fitness Exercises with Laura Crump Anderson
In this video, Laura Crump Anderson leads us through five exercises designed to strengthen a rider's position. Anderson begins by demonstrating a wall sit, then moves on to body weight squats. If body weight squats are not challenging enough, she suggests adding a weighted object, like a bucket filled with horse feed, to increase the difficulty of the exercise. Next, Anderson moves on to demonstrating dips, which can be done with the help of a chair. Anderson rounds out the exercise program with push-ups and the plank.
Equipment List
- Wall or other flat vertical surface
- Chair
- Yoga Mat (optional)
- Weighted Object (ex: bucket filled with horse feed) (optional)
