Saddle Up: Horseback Riding!

Story: http://www.fios1news.com/lowerhudsonvalley/fitness-fridays-horseback-riding#.V2epTfkrKUk

I was excited to spend the day trying out horseback riding for my first time with the #FitnessFriday crew! I had tried horseback riding once when I was little and didn't have good memories.. so giving it a second shot this time I was ready to go.

Here we are taking pictures with our newest buddies.


Horseback riding is known to help strengthen the core as well as firm the legs and help with balance. It was actually hard to get the hang of.. but once I relaxed I was fine! Biggest challenge was to keep my posture and also learn to steer the horse. After a while.. Dennis and I learned to work together and I got over my fear.

I definitely would recommend horseback riding to anyone interested. Do I think it could really help you lose a ton of weight? Possibly... with the right diet plan and depending on how long you ride everyday. One of the ladies I interviewed-- Lois Kral had lost 20 pounds since she started,
Overall it was fun and I would go again!
