Workouts

What results individualized workout plan will give me?

Based on your selected goals you can expect to feel a difference in your riding in two weeks. This is how fast your body awareness, mobility and body control starts to improve. 

You can individualize your workout plan based on the equipment you have. You can do all your workouts with just yoga mat if you need to.

Understanding your individual goals, challenges and your schedule allows us to individualize your workout plan.

Because for example forward tilted hip / over arched lower back and posteriorly tilted hip / rounded upper body position need complete opposite movements to help you fix that root cause of why that seat challenge is there in the first place.

In your program is 30/30/40% split between the two main goals you named and what we call “must haves” for every rider when it comes to off saddle workouts.

As a result you will have this very well planned workout plan that covers all the areas you need as a rider.

1. Individually targeted workouts to help you improve your seat and riding
2. Riding specific mobility workouts to not only help you improve your seat and riding, but also to help your body to recover from riding
3. Riding specific strength / body control / coordination work that is important for every rider no matter the discipline

You can scroll down the list of all your workouts and see which ones you’ve already done.

Pre- and post ride routines are your daily athletic acts.

These are not workouts, but these add up those good minutes day in, day out that will help you feel at your best in the saddle again tomorrow (or the next day you’re going to ride). These can also save your busy day when there is no time for longer workout.

Pre-ride routines are your short body openers and activators that some could also call a rider’s warm up. These are planned to open up your hips, spine, to activate your core and make you feel good in the saddle. You can choose whether you want to do these at home or at the stables.

Post-ride routines help your body to relax and recover after riding.

You can have your individualized, daily recommendation based on how you’re feeling, what you’re up to and what equipment you have access to by clicking “Riding today?” on your home page.

You don’t need any experience to get started! We offer different versions for movements to make it easy to adjust to your current level.

You can choose how many workouts you want to have / week. Workouts are typically 20-40min long and we recommend having 3 per week.

In the beginning we recommend what is called “habit stacking”= combining the new workout routine to something you already do on weekly basis. If it’s a pre-ride routine, do it at home in your breeches just before you go to the stables. If it’s a mobility routine, do it right after you come home before you go to shower / just before bed / before dinner etc. 

For the workouts we also recommend you to schedule time for the workout in your calendar. You may not always get it done and that’s fine too, but the likelihood to get it done is much higher when you reserved the time for it in the first place. 

We also like the saying – “your calendar shows your priorities”. If you want to see and feel the results you’re looking for faster, committing to creating new habits outside the saddle is like hopping to a fast line because not every rider is yet ready to do it. 

It’s life and no routine is 100% perfect all the time. Just get back on track with the next one.

3 workouts / week is the base we can promise brings you visible results already in two weeks. 

In your registration 7-day free trial is included. You’re also free to cancel anytime during the trial if you feel like it. 

Your seat is your most important tool as a rider.

Instructions:

Analyzing your seat is very simple and quick with RideSum AI seat analysis. To get the best out of your Seat Analysis – follow the instructions below.

As part of your Equestrain membership you have RideSum AI seat analysis as part of your active membership the moment you finish your 7-day free trial, after your first 6 week individualized workout plan and later on as part of our loyalty program as a thank you for keeping your membership rolling.

**NOTE: when we talk about you being able to analyze your seat as a Equestrain member, it means in total 4 analyses in the RideSum App because we wanted you to have the maximum benefit from the seat analysis for your riding.

Meaning that you are able to do for example:

trot and canter both left and right
trot and canter from back and to either left or right on the circle**

You can either record the videos first to your phone and then upload to the RideSum seat analysis or you can record the video straight to the analysis.

1. Film ONE rider
Only have 1 horse and rider visible in the video and make sure the horse doesn’t disappear behind obstacles.

2. Film for 10-20s. Film in environments that offer good lightning and clear contrast between rider and the background.

3. Keep rider & horse in frame fully.

4. Stick to vertical or horizontal video, don’t swap while filming.

5. Record rider from the side or from the back.
Ride a 20m circle around the person with the camera or film directly from behind or in front while riding a straight line. Ideal distance between camera and rider is approximately 10 meters.

6. Not for jumping!
This system only looks at your dressage & flat work position. Jumping feature is coming soon.

No worries. You can totally use the workout library based on your feeling and filter workouts based on your need in the “search” page.

We recommend asking professional advice for you individually what kind of workouts are safe to do. We don’t yet have specific pre/post natal workouts.

Often riders come to use saying their PT workouts don’t always bring them visible and fast results in their riding if their PT doesn’t really understand riding as a sport.

If you’re a rider looking for progress, this is the *thing* you’re looking for to take your riding progress to the next level.
