Where did the extra 3 horses come from?
Anyhow ...do this http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/
Get in your gym at school and do this http://stronglifts.com/5x5/
But riding and horse care should be great exercise
Relax I ride 2 horses in the week and 5 on weekends.
So workout at the weekends
Ride fewer horses to fit in a progressive lifting routine
Volunteer to muck out the stables
Can the excuses and just do something about it
Or stick with the girlish "I'm so weak hehe"
It's just that I can't help with the horses you have to have an education to muck out.
But yes I do groom them. I guess I can just do some exercises at home maybe buy some barbells or something
You can ride the horses but you're not allowed to muck out?
Yes it's my own horses it's not some riding school
And as I said above then it's a place for professional riders and they have a timetable for when they muck out and everything0 -
Who has been rude?
I don't know if you read it all but some people have just been focussing on irrelevant things and not very helpful and there's also a lot of people who have said that I make excuses but it's hard for me to workout more than 4 hours a day and I'm really looking for exercises not getting to know that I need to get up at 3.30 am since I need to get good grades and also be well rested0 -

What?!? Since when do you need any type of education to muck out a stable?
I used to ride when I was in middle/high school. There wasn't much fund for after schools activities, so I pretty much earned about 70% of my riding lessons by doing stable work. One of the big things was mucking out stables and grooming. No education required.
Grooming was actually required after your lessons, as well as saddling up your own horse and stuff.
You own 2 horses, but ride 5 on the weekend, but don't do any grooming or mucking? No one "just rides" their horses. I am sorry, but with so many inconsistencies I call shenanigans.
My horses are in a stable with few horses and the owner of the stable have been to the Olympics so he wants there to be a certain standard
There's a standard to mucking out a stable of a horse you own? Uhhh no. Sorry.0 -
Find time or stay weak. You've been given several good suggestions for quick body weight programs which you've chosen to ignore because you would rather argue.0

Not sure why everyone is picking on you and being rude, but in any case. It's easy to fit in 10 minutes of exercises here and there. Get some little hand held weights, use them while you study. Jog to and from classes and your horses stuff. Get up 30 minutes earlier or stay up 30 minutes later to do some heavier / more involved exercises. Look for body weight exercises (there's lots) that don't require equipment. Why everyone is focusing on calling "shenanigans" about the horses when you already said English isn't your first language, I have no idea. That's not helpful at all to you and your question.0

Very rich people just ride their horses. I used to work at barns where most of the owners probably couldn't even pick a good.
I knew a girl who rode at Sleepy Hollow Country Club in New York and riders there stayed in the heated lounge next to the arena until their fully tacked and, often already warmed up, horses were brought in for them. As soon as their ride was over, the horses were handed over to the grooms to be cooled down and untacked. Show days were the same way.
Hard to imagine, but lots of people grow up that way.
OP, volunteer to clean a stall, I guarantee the grooms won't tell you you don't have the right degree.

No one was being rude. Suggestions were given and OP would rather make excuses. :noway:0 -

There has also been people who have suggested some good things I weren't talking about you. I know at my problem and that's why I'm trying to fix it but people shouldn't say that I make excuses I'm just telling you my problem because I don't know how to solve it some people help me with giving me some exercise tips which I'm grateful for
But that first sentence you wrote was unnecessary I don't know why people in here needs to write sentences that doesn't help anyone.

Thank you and I don't know either it's a bit sad and frustrating

It's the internet, it's how it goes. But, in the amount of time you've spent responding to people and arguing, you could have done some decent body weight exercises. Hell, I've been on the elliptical.0 -
Am I the only one with the suspicion someone might be a tad younger than they claim?0

Not to make excuses for the OP, but I used to work on a horse farm that was owned by an Olympian and I was not 'qualified' to muck, groom, tack or turnout any of the Olympic caliber horses. The rest of the farm (boarder and school horses) was fair game.
But anyway, OP: get up earlier than you normally do and work out.0 -
Look, OP, if you are training with an Olympic level athlete and getting injured regularly while riding, you need to sit down with your trainer and figure out a new training schedule. Riding is a low impact sport until you fall off and weight training is not going to help you if you hit the ground hard. Decrease the amount of riding you're doing until you get fixed up. I'm sure your coach has recommendations for the kind of conditioning to you should do.0

Thank you I feel like I might need to get it checked0 -

Great point. The OP could have gotten a great workout in since thus thread started? OP, why didn't you do that?Am I the only one with the suspicion someone might be a tad younger than they claim?
Could I get to know why you think that?0 -
Here's an article in the NY Times describing a 7-minute body-weight workout.
It also links to the article/research from the American College of Sports Medicine, saying the same things, so this isn't just some blogger making things up.
Do this as a break once an hour when you're studying, or at lunch, etc.
