For most people the main season of competition is over, and we’re switching horses over to winter routines.
For my clients that means we’re looking at what they achieved this season and what that then means they’ll be aiming for next year.
This enables us to put in place a training plan through winter that works towards being ready to smash those goals next year.
6 months can seem a long time but just think of that as an opportunity to completely transform your potential.
As I work with people from other sports it’s quite common for winter to be a serious strength building time during the “off season “.
Equestrians don’t necessarily have an “off season” but I think for most people it’s a quieter time for riding activities so I like to do the same with my Equestrian clients and use this time to build a good base of strength and conditioning.
This doesn’t have to mean 5 days a week in the gym nor do you have to suddenly start doing 1 rep max lifts. However just adding 2-3 resistance workouts into your week will have you starting next springs training a much better athlete.
This could be at home with body weight, resistance bands or some weights or you could go to a gym and get acquainted with a Barbell.
If you’d like a done for you at home Kettlebell workout check out my Kettlebells for Equestrians Programme.
