DressurFit® Challenge 2025 – Day 8 – Core Training

Today it's time for the final round of core stability! A strong core is incredibly valuable for riders. It's not about a six-pack or a particularly flat belly. The important muscles are the deep layers that wrap around your torso like a corset, as well as the small muscles along your spine. These deep muscles ensure that you can sit upright and balanced without straining yourself too much – even on horses with a lot of movement. If your core is strong, you can relax and still be stable at the same time. Let's go! Block: Core Stability 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 at the same time 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.
