kirkville : fitter is better

I started the 21 day fix with beachbody.com

end of May this year

I am busy doing my 30 minute workouts every day since

and I did not realize the fitness level I am at now

I rode Rocky this afternoon

it was hot and bugs weren't too bad

when I stepped into the stirrup to swing up

and over I couldn't believe how simple that

was. No left sciatic to numb my foot and

more strength and speed in getting

BONUS

this is why I work out!

one of the reasons that is for sure!

this horse is a good ole boy but he is pretty soft, not in riding shape for a 20 year old

horse and I need to get him out more.

so this afternoon was hotter than I thought

and Rocky was really sweating after 1/2 hour and I only

trotted him around the arena for 20 minutes

I had to get off him to longe him a little bit more

as the team work was not there between him and I, yet.

anyhow when I did that

he was lathered up around the breast collar

and his neck was wet

It was time to quit

maybe go again tonite?

I was overheated too once

I got into the tack room

to put away his bridle/reins

I needed a sit down on the deck!

(face flushed/feeling weak)

I am getting back in the game in the fall here when weather is cooler and

horse flies stop biting, then it's good horse riding! In the meantime short rides
in our yard will be perfect this month.
