Horseback Riding

Wear a helmet and riding boots, and check the saddle and stirrups. Follow the instructor's guidance and approach the horse calmly.

Start at a walk and sit tall in the saddle. Keep your heels slightly down and hold the reins gently.

Slow to a walk before finishing so the horse can cool down too. Dismount safely, then check your workout duration.

Staying balanced on a moving horse works your core and lower body. At faster gaits, your cardiovascular system works harder too.

Do not pull hard on the reins or grip tightly with your knees. Avoid sudden movements or loud noises near the horse.

Relax your shoulders and breathe naturally. Follow the horse's rhythm with your breathing instead of holding it.

Record the time spent horseback riding. Do not enter laps or distance.
