About | Fit to Ride - BioRider Fitness

BioRider Fitness

Our primary objective is to help equestrians become riders who can utilize muscular engagements to ride. The BioRider development process has been put into courses set to build fundamentals in every rider. By teaming the muscular system together in such a way it helps a rider communicate better with the horse. Workouts hit all components of endurance that are most beneficial to horseback riders.

Analyze your goal

You can follow day to day but most horseback riders seem to be on their own weekly schedule. If that’s you, just start where you left off. The goal is to develop strong fundamentals for your position and communication with the horse. As long as you continues to progress in the course, you will see progress in the saddle. If you need to take 2 or 3 days off, that’s going to be okay as long as you are still riding your horse. Being in shape to ride requires time in the saddle.
Repeating courses ensures that progress sticks to your mind to muscle connection. Doing the same workouts will change bad habits! You don’t need to get bored because you can do courses alongside one another. You can also continue to do any other activities alongside our courses.
