Coach
Asher Kondziela

EquiStrong 30 is for those of you that do not have access to a gym or have limited equipment. Each 30 minute workouts focuses on strengthening your legs, core and back while improving your cardiovascular capacity. Each workout is accompanied by a video showing different variations of each movement so you can decide on difficulty level and whether you want to use weights or not. Programs are 8 week long cycles, meaning every 8 weeks there will be a different focus (for example, core, arms, legs) and new movements introduced. Over the course of 8 weeks you will see some repetition in movements. This is so you can get familiar with and improve upon specific movements (consistency is key!). If you have any questions, please reach out over the app, IG or email.

Strength
Feel stronger and more secure in the saddle.
benefit-image-1
Stamina
Keep up with your horse and increase your stamina during lessons and competitions.

Body Awareness
Exercising helps you build body awareness, which is essential in the saddle. Do you tend to drop your right shoulder? Constantly being told to "sit up"? EquiStrong will help you make the connections between what your body is doing in the saddle and how to correct it.

Mobility
Exercise increases mobility and flexibility. Many times, "tight" muscles are not actually tight, they are weak. EquiStrong will help you engage those "tight" muscles.

Better Everyday Life
Studies have shown that exercise improves memory and brain function, protects against many chronic diseases, lowers blood pressure and improves heart health, improves your quality of sleep and reduces feelings of anxiety and depression.

FAQs
What equipment do I need?
For the EquiStrong 60, you need access to a gym or have a home gym with barbells, weights, dumbbells and kettlebells (and more if possible!). For the other EquiStrong programs, you do not need equipment but bands, dumbbells and kettlebells are recommended.
How many workouts are programmed each week?
3 days per week. Mobility is once a week and can be used multiple times.
What if I am a beginner?
No problem! We have movement demo videos uploaded into the app. Each workout section will have movement tips + videos so you'll know exactly how to perform the workout and each lift. You can also get instant feedback from Ashe if you post a form check video!
What if I am short on time?
Do what you can. It is better to move and get done what you can than not move at all. You can also do the workouts on different days. A Monday workout does not have to be on a Monday if you have time to do it Tuesday instead.
What if I have a nutrition, fitness or programming question?
Post them in the App Chat or Community group and you will get a detailed coaching responses. It’s a lot easier to DO something when you understand the “how" or “why” behind WHY you’re doing something. You can also email Ashe or message them on Instagram.

"Due to an old shoulder injury, I thought my best riding days were behind me. When I started focusing on my fitness out of the saddle, I noticed an immediate difference in my riding ability and confidence. Asher’s exercises for shoulder strengthening have made me stronger in the saddle."
