Equi-Stretch The Seated Workout
811086
A non impact stationery fitness workout for both rider and non riders that you can do at home in 20 minutes.

A great introductory routine or cross training device from professional movement instructor Dan Weltner. We call this Volume 3 though as you see from below review it can be used alone or in addition, before or after the other two volumes.

TheHorseStudio.com review: A super adjunct for those days when you want to work on a non impact basis this also would yield great results as an introduction to the volumes 1 and 2. This stationery workout provides a quick tune up for toning the upper body, improving coordination, stabilizing core muscles and challenging postural endurance. While you learn how to engage the all important mind and body connection Dan is guiding you deftly through a routine that will yield better body control and flexibility as you learn what is where and what effects what in the muscle groups. I have not completed the volume 1 or 2 riders workouts though hear from my The Horse Studio Team mates that it is really good. Apparently those routines really enhance your flexibility! This seated workout was not high energy but was surprisingly helpful nonetheless. Not sure what I expected but after three weeks of doing just this 20 minute session I found I was much better at not just my riding but also my kayaking and ballroom dancing. While I am not headed to So You Think You Can Dance Or the Equestrian Olympics ( if there are any??) I am certainly feeling better. I feel more energy and my mental spirits seem lifted. I do it in my college dorm room three times a week and it really picks me up. Weird but there you are. Have to say I would go for it with this DVD and am planning on checking out the horse riding Volume 1 and 2 too.

From TheHorseStudio.com review in Volume 1 which also applies here: -

The plan here from Dan Weltner is obviously borne from his expertise as a world renowned professional dancer who truly understands the biomechanics of the body. His awareness of the need for increased flexibility and how to achieve it successfully and without injury evidences his dance experience and his Pilates certification. His sister Kristi Weltner Redd who has ridden and trained horses for over 30 years provides the initiative for his sojourn into the 'thinking rider' and how to develop yourself with the same attention you give to develop the horse. It is after all a partnership - so I guess it's only fair we put our effort in too. I found this workout intelligently planned and easy to complete. The work is suitable for beginner through advanced riders, and anyone returning to the sport after a hiatus will certainly appreciate this neat package approach. Both Volume 1 and 2 which are exercise routines designed specifically for the rider are also available here at TheHorseStudio.com.

NTSC North America Canada Format Duration 20 minutes

Dan Welter's dance credits include Walt Disney's Enchanted, Julia Robert's film Mona Lisa Smile, Stepford Wives with Nicole Kidman and many, many more. Kristi Weltner Redd is a certified North American Riding for the Handicapped Association Instructor, has operated a premier equestrian facility in Ohio and has a worked with many breeds of horses and is experienced in multi disciplines.

If you are fascinated by the development of movement and awareness of your own body especially as it pertains to horse riding then please check out sport guru Eckart Meyners new DVD called Movement Awareness. It is an imported title just released and we have found it to be very good too. Available right here at TheHorseStudio.com where you can always rely on the latest releases and comprehensive reviews.
