Beyond the Reins Wellness

Don’t forget your why.

Not the goals.
Not the results.
Not the pressure.

Don’t forget the reason this ever meant something to you in the first place.

In the middle of training, competing, improving, chasing… it’s easy to drift.
It’s easy to let expectations get louder than intention.

But it was always about something deeper.

About who you’re becoming.
About choosing the hard things.
About building confidence one uncomfortable step at a time.
About learning to enjoy the process — even when it stretches you.

Come back to that💜

I like to keep it simple — but still challenging.

Here are some side plank variations you can add to your program that directly support stronger, more stable riding.

Instead of just holding it longer, use variations that target specific muscle groups that matter in the saddle.

These are movements that don’t just challenge you physically, they challenge you mentally too. Slow down, breathe, and move with intention.

• Turkish Get-Up → Side Plank
Targets the obliques, deep core stabilizers (transverse abdominis), serratus anterior, and rotator cuff — building shoulder stability and anti-rotation control.

• Side Plank → Adductor Knee Drive
Targets the adductors (inner thighs), obliques, and glute medius — improving pelvic stability and leg connection.

• Star Plank + Hip Dip
Targets the lateral chain — glute medius, QL, and obliques — strengthening side-to-side control and hip stability.

Same foundation.
Different muscular demands.
Intentional accessories that actually transfer to your riding.

The year is starting to rev up!
More riding. More travel. More demand on your body.

If you’re wanting to feel strong, energized, and prepared for the demands: here’s the nudge you need!
That’s exactly why my coaching is built for real life.

You get:
✔️ Personalized workouts delivered through an app
✔️ Programming tailored to your goals
✔️ Exercise demos + direct access to me
✔️ Structure you can follow at home, at the gym, or on the road

You don’t need to train more.
You need to train with intention so your body supports you all season long.

I currently have 2 coaching spots available right now.
If it’s been on your mind, this might be your nudge.

Local? Hybrid (in-person + online) options are available too.

Let’s head into this season feeling prepared — not playing catch up💜

Messy doesn’t mean stagnant

And excellence isn’t perfection

Excellence is creating, caring, and contributing
It’s making the most of your unique gifts with hard work & integrity. Not for perfection and not for applause, but because it matters to you.

Just some Thursday thoughts🤍

A little bit of this, a little bit of that❄️🤍

Life, horses, weather, and energy all play a role — adapting is the plan.
Consistency comes from flexibility, not forcing.

…..

A few things I’ve learned over the years:

Find your why.
Show yourself grace — but also give yourself some tough love.
You don’t need to train 6x a week — you need quality and intention, not quantity.
Show up for yourself even when it’s quiet and no one’s watching.
Embrace the uncomfortable — that’s where change actually happens.
And build sustainability, not restrictions.

Real progress isn’t built in extremes.
It’s built in consistency, patience, and small daily choices that add up over time.

If you’re feeling a little stir-crazy from the Texas weather 🌧️
or just want a short, circuit-style workout that actually hits…
give this one a try.

Circuit 3-4 rounds:
• DB RDL → Row — 10–12 reps
• Reverse Lunge to Balance — 8–10/side
• Tall Kneeling Press — 10–12 alternating reps
• Deadbug Pullover — 10–12 controlled reps
Rest at the end of each round 60-90 seconds
