High-Performance Equestrian Ep 13: Habits and building a lifestyle that supports equestrian fitness.
Dr Fiona Hargraves PhD, exercise, nutrition, and behavioural scientist addresses what to do - and what not to do - when you want to improve fitness as a rider, but realise you struggle to prioritise yourself with a busy equestrian lifestyle & the rest of your responsibilities.
Dr Fi discusses:
- why you might not have 'failed' if you've tried to get fit before, because you might not have actually tried evidence-based strategies for adherence
- how to gain clarity on what will actually be successful for you to work on before heading down the path
- what the research shows us regarding different types of goals and how to use this to our advantage
- one of the most common pitfalls for riders - who really don't have time to waste - when it comes to fitness programs and what type of approach to use instead
