Doing core workouts for riders is a great way to improve your riding. Your core has an important role for you as a rider because it absorbs the movement energy coming from the horse and helps you to sit softly in your horses movements, it connects your hips and upper body to help you have signed and balanced seat and helps you to stay symmetrical and in the middle.

Core workouts for riders: how often should you do core workouts?
We know life with horses can get busy and sometimes trying to fit in your own workouts can feel a little difficult.
But if you’re looking to improve your riding with riding specific workouts this is what we recommend for you to feel a difference in your riding:
- 1-2 core strength & stability focused workouts / week
- 1 mobility workout / week (you can try this 15min hip mobility workout!)
- Want to have fully individualized workout plan that is based on how you feel in the saddle, the equipment you have and optimized around your schedule? Try Equestrain App free for one week.
You can be short on time but still big on results when it comes to your workouts as a rider.
