There are four foundational lessons that every horse rider Matz Sels Belgium Jersey , whether a recreational rider or a professional horse trainer, needs to master with each and every horse. These foundational lessons teach you how to gain and keep control of your horse and establish a foundation for teaching performance riding maneuvers. They focus on the three main parts of the horse: the head and neck, shoulders, and hips.


The foundational lessons are:

1. Soft nose and collection
2. Same rein, same foot
3. Reverse arc
4. Hips-in


Each of these horse training lessons focuses on getting flexibility in separate parts of the horse. When they are done properly with numerous repetitions Marouane Fellaini Belgium Jersey , the horse’s nose and neck (foundational lesson 1), both shoulders (foundational lessons 2 and 3) and hips (foundational lesson 4) will give easily to light leg and rein cues. To maintain performance in your horse, you need to continuously practice foundational lessons. A great time to do them is during your warm-up, as you walk and trot your horse before starting a horse training session.


Soft Nose and Collection – Softness in a horse is responsiveness to the bridle and leg cues; softness helps you create a frame of mind in your horse to accept a request. A horse with a soft nose is light, responsive Luis Pedro Cavanda Belgium Jersey , willing, happy and under control. A collected horse carries more weight on his hind legs than on his front legs. He will lower his hindquarters and elevate his withers. Collection may be achieved at any gait.


Same Rein, Same Foot – This foundational exercise teaches your horse to follow his nose, and it one of the first exercises you should teach your horse. Whenever you pick up on a rein, make sure you ask your horse for a change not related to his headset. For example Laurent Depoitre Belgium Jersey , ask your horse to get his feet moving, elevate his front end or change speed. If you correct only the head, you teach the horse that when you pick up the reins he can give you his head while continuing to do whatever he was doing. Here, you want to establish a connection between the reins and the horse’s feet.


Reverse Arc – This is a counter bending exercise that softens the ribs, shoulders and neck. As the name suggests Laurent Ciman Belgium Jersey , the horse moves around a circle with his body bending in the opposite direction. It helps correct a horse who drops his inside shoulder when doing a circle. It can be used to slow your horse, regardless of gait or speed.


Hips-In – The fourth foundational lesson, hips-in, is intended for more advanced riders. It is a three-track gait that improves flexibility in the hindquarters; it is one of the most important exercises for gaining control and improving performance. Like the reverse Arc, Hips-In slows down a gait (dramatically so at the lope) and is useful in transitions and lead departures.

As women begin exploring the world of sports and exercise their sports medicine has become more important. There are of course some risks involved, despite the benefits of physical activity Jean-Francois Gillet Belgium Jersey , that women must pay close attention to certain issues. With the right information you can sometimes handle these on your own, but sometimes you need to talk with your doctor or sports medicine specialist. Below you will find some health and sports related issues that are known to affect women making them important for you to be aware of.

 

Just by simply being prepared for the activity you are participating in is a great way to prevent injuries. This starts off with wearing the right clothes or gear, including your footwear and any protective gear. To loosen your muscles and prevent injury, stretch before any workout or activity. It’s also helpful to do some stretching after an activity to cool down. Wearing the right type of clothes is also important, as you have to be loose enough to be able to move around freely. By wrapping areas that have recently been injured you are taking extra precautions to prevent further injury.

 

Contending with bone mass loss is something women nearing middle age must deal with. This is what makes many women prone to osteoporosis Jason Denayer Belgium Jersey , as well as broken bones and other bone related injuries.

 

The best approach when it comes to these issues is prevention, and this can be accomplished by regular exercise combined with good nutrition. Engaging in strength training for healthy bones is important, as is ensuring you are adding enough calcium, essential nutrients and vitamin D and iron are also important. Getting a bone density test will help you and your doctor find the health of your bones.

Nowadays Jan Vertonghen Belgium Jersey , scientists have proven that exercise is quite beneficial for women during gestation and can even lead to healthier babies being delivered. Labor time was decreased by 13 in one study of pregnant women who exercised regularly during pregnancy. If you are with child, be sure that you consult your physician before beginning any exercise to ensure you are only doing what is safe for you during pregnancy.
