ENDURANCE RIDER FITNESS

Endurance Rider Fitness by The Sweaty Equestrian

“The Sweaty Equestrian program has been a total game changer for me.

At 63 and post‑menopause, I’d struggled with motivation and extra weight over the last few years, all while needing to stay strong as an endurance rider.

Tamara truly gets it, and her program offers practical strategies that help you shift both body and mindset. I feel more confident starting this season than I have in years. It’s never too late to get back in the saddle.”

“When I was in my 20s, I was able to lose 60 pounds and keep it off until I had a second baby in my 30s. I couldn’t seem to get my act together enough to stick with anything to regain the strength and stability I’d lost. Two big things had to happen for me to make consistent progress as I inch closer to 40: I set a major goal to get my mare Tarma and I ready to toe the Tevis start at Robie Park, and I found Tamara’s The Sweaty Equestrian program.

All the other personal trainers and gyms and programs I’d tried didn’t understand the fundamental needs and drive I have as an equestrian and endurance rider. I also needed a straightforward but understandable program to follow, there’s so much wild and unhelpful stuff floating around.

For the first time in over a decade, I’m consistently exercising with purpose three to four times a week. I have a supportive group of wonderful equestrians who understand and support each other equally, even from very different places. I can firmly say my Tevis and 100 miler dreams would be a lot farther away if it wasn’t for the Sweaty Equestrian.”

“I have put in the time to make sure my horse is ready for the trail, but until this year, I have not put the same amount of time or effort into the other half of our team. The Sweaty Equestrian has put together a phenomenal program to fill in those gaps in my diet and training.

One of the most helpful parts has been finding ways to adjust my diet so I’m not experiencing the drastic energy spikes and crashes. The exercises are fully scalable to where I am at in my physical journey. As an added plus, they are 30 mins! Who can’t find 30 mins in their day?

I would fully recommend The Sweaty Equestrian to other riders who want a structured program to be a better partner for the long haul. Also for those that just need a super supportive group to stick with an exercise program. The group has really helped on days when I feel like slipping back into old habits.”

“One of my favorite and most helpful parts of the program is what Tamara calls her  “walk and talks”.  This is when she provides a deep dive on a particular issue – such as what’s required to alter body composition or building muscle to lose fat or even how sleep impacts progress towards obtaining a leaner and stronger body. 

I’ve found her to be extremely knowledgeable, relevant and super supportive in my goal of wanting to achieve the best I can physically be, which ultimately is positioning me to be a strong, fit partner for my equine soul mate today and for years to come.”

“TSE is a very structured online program that includes both workouts and nutritional information.

I’ve been a member for 7 months and it has been life changing. As a 61-year-old woman I needed a program designed to help me gain strength and balance and improve cardio.

It’s amazing and affordable and I feel GREAT!!!

If you want to reset your thinking and feel better and stronger, TSE is the answer!”
