Equipment Needed
BioRider Fitness allows equestrians to workout at home, at the barn or in the gym. We are real riders and know that conforming to a schedule is laughable, so our exercises can be done anywhere there’s room. All memberships and single workouts are accessible online. There’s an at home dvd that can be purchased for those who want exercise demonstrations on a hard copy.
The best environment to workout in is where you feel the most comfortable. I highly recommend having equipment at the barn, on hand for easy warm ups and cool downs.
Exercise Equipment
BioRider Fitness is designed to use little or no extra equipment, however it is recommended that you have the following exercise tools:
- A Stability (Swiss ball), BOSU Ball
- Free weights
- Resistance band
To really get in shape to ride horses needs some equipment. Other than standing on one leg, how will you challenge your balance? There’s a bunch a different pieces of balance equipment but my favorite is the BOSU Ball.
All membership use a variety of equipment but if you have the basic items stated above, you can do a variation provided. At one point you will stumble upon an exercise requiring a machine but there’s always a option for minimal equipment. Make sure to read all the information provided in each description.
