Elevate Your Workouts With Bands: Train With The Equestrian Strength Coach

Now that we have walked through bodyweight workouts, the following workouts are for riders who have bands! I always suggest getting the bands that have handles and can be placed behind a door to create tension. I also suggest getting Loop Bands or “Booty Bands.” These can all be found on Amazon and are a great investment, especially for adding “accessory work” into your programming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are lucky enough to have both bands and dumbbells then you can integrate all 3 programs! Keep in mind, you do not have to do the sets and reps that are written, they are simply a guideline. If you are feeling good, then do more! If these workouts are difficult, then scale down. Always remember to write down how many sets and reps you are doing, how the workout felt, what times you hit if they were max effort, etc. and from there you can progress! 

It is extremely important to remember this concept: We are athletes, yet we are unlike any other athlete around. We work with 1000lb animals daily, it is essential that we are strong. Not only for our health and safety but for the benefit of our own horses. Even though gyms are closed you should still be holding yourselves to the highest standards. You should be in shape and ready for when riding commences. Start here and now.
