Rider Biomechanics: Lunging Exercises for Posting Trot/Part Two

Erica Poseley of Got Seat explains her unique approach to a customized lunging experience. Features Chelsea Ramm on Olivia as demonstration pair. Transcription: So when I do a lunge lesson I always first watch the rider ride because I want to see their starting point. And some riders are highly skilled and others are just beginning--and most people are in-between. So once I see their starting point then I always do an adjustment of their body to make sure that they are in alignment--like Chelsea is. Basically the ankle is under the hip. That they have the right length of stirrup. It is extremely important for posting that from you knee to your hip is about a 45-degree angle and your thigh is rotated inward. You are going to be using these thigh muscles to post from. If the stirrup is too long you won't have enough bend in the knee. You almost want to feel that you can hold a little ball behind the knee when you post. Then, the upper body: the pelvis is upright. You want to feel like you are a square shaped box--that the back and front of the "box" are the same. (Erica indicates the pelvis area.). And that your core muscles are engaged. I go through this until the person is fairly lined up; has inner thigh and then they are ready to try some exercises on the lunge line. Now depending where they are at I will chose the appropriate exercise. I have a few exercises I use generally which suit most people but I might use one specifically for one problem and another for another problem. end of discussion of topic
