Re: [RC] exercises for riders - Sharon LevasseurGet an exercise ball (such as the BalanceBall from Gaiam) and a workout video to go with it. Excellent choice for balance, core strength, and flexibility. -Sharon L. Quoting Jennifer Adam <jatatahoe1@xxxxxxxxxxx>: Can anyone recommend a good exercise program for riders? I've seen pilates and yoga tapes for riders and wonder whether they're any good. I am in fairly good shape - just want something to help with core strength and maintaining flexibility. I had major abdominal surgery a couple of years ago and lost some muscle tissue - having trouble building back strength in that area. When I post for very long I get sore - instructor assures me my posture and technique are fine, says I've just ridden Western too long! Sit ups are not recommended for the type of surgery I had, so I'm looking for something different. Been doing ballet work outs since I was 4 - can anyone suggest something better?
