DressurFit® Challenge 2025 - Day 2 - Core Training

Second day - second block! The exercises in block 2 strengthen your core. Well-trained core stability is important for correct alignment, balance and stability in the saddle. With a strong core, you can sit independently of your hands and legs and influence your horse's movements.
The DressurFit® New Year's Challenge 2025 consists of three blocks, which we will repeat over the next 10 days and put together at the end. We’ll do the exercises for 40 seconds, followed by a 20-second break. On the mat, get set, go!
Exercise 1: Curl-up with dynamic leg pull and stretch
Lying on your back, alternately pull and stretch your legs while keeping your upper body slightly raised.
Strengthens the deep core muscles and promotes mobility and coordination of the legs.
Exercise 2: Dynamic side plank with diagonal dead bug
Start on your back and rotate into a side plank, maintaining diagonal core tension by pressing the hand against the thigh.
Strengthens lateral and diagonal core muscles for more control in lateral movements and turns, improved coordination and more stability and balance in the saddle.
Exercise 3: Quadruped position & reach out
Start on all fours and stretch one arm far forward while slightly extending the hips.
Promotes core stability, balance and coordination for good stability and effective aids.
Exercise 4: Hollow rocks
Lying on your back with your shoulders and legs raised, activate your core and rock from front to back in a slight C-shape.
Improves body control and strengthens the core muscles for more stability in the saddle.
