Re: Dressage Rider Exercise Program

Thanks blob, I have been looking at it and I think I will do it. I will start with the first program as I am coming off an injury and as my physical therapist keeps reminding me ....slow and steady. Will I need the 3 in 1 resistance bands and balance ball for the first program?

Thanks! I haven't quite decided, I walk a lot but I need "rider" specific exercises....so this may work. It's a tad pricey especially to also get the USB drive. I appreciate your input!
