Rider Reviews
What I love most about the Strong Confident Rider Program are the really short workouts. 9-20mins is doable - you can pretty much fit it in while waiting for the veg to cook!
I feel that I am nore able to sit into my saddle, rather than be perched above my horse now. And I am far less bothered by his ridiculousness. The small wins come in really quickly and the feeling of support and help from the group is fantastic.
I can't tell you to join it quickly enough. Just do it. You won't regret a single penny/minute of it.
