To stay in shape for riding, I work at the barn. I help muck stalls, fill water troughs and bring in or take horses out. I run to and from each task taking care not to spook any one riding. I also get on the elliptical machine at home when it’s raining or go for a walk/jog. My horse needs me to be in shape to keep him in shape!

I am a runner for my high school’s cross country team in the fall, I have weight training in the fall and winter, and I’ll do soccer in the spring. If your involved in school or community sports or fitness clubs then you can easily stay in shape.

To help me stay in shape I am a cheerleader at my school, I also take dance classes at a studio. Since we have to be in shape for cheerleading it also helps me with my riding. We run, and do strength training, plus I always have to be aware of my body and the motions that I am doing. All these things help me with my balance, leg and core body strength, and make me aware of what my body is doing so I don’t send any messages to my horse that I don’t want to.

I got lots of exercise chasing after my horse when he decided to be naughty!

I stay in shape by trying all the sports at school because they help you in different ways.

I stay in shape by running at least two miles five days a week. It is a lot of work and takes up time, but when you are done running, you feel a lot better about yourself.
