Taking Stock

Now that you've worked your way through the Core Group of exercises, it's as good a time as any to give yourself a real pat on the back for your dedication, discipline, patience and progress. It's also a good time to take stock of your body.

How is your flexibility?
How is your balance?
How is your strength?
How is your endurance?
Are the two sides of your body more equal?
Are you more able to absorb your horse's movements in your abdominal and spinal muscles?
Are you more efficiently responsive to your horse's movements?
How is your pain level during and after you ride?

Because many of these issues have and continue to improve for me, I'm hoping that at least some of these issues have improved for you as a result of doing these Hassle Free Exercises for Riders. I would appreciate hearing any comments, questions and suggestions you might have.

By working your Core Group exercises, you have simultaneously been working your LowerBody Group exercises. I'll add just a few more to this Lower Body Group and then go on to the Upper Body Group starting with the Fingertip Walk.
