4m 34s
In this video, Ilaria takes a deep dive into the horseback, a challenging and demanding exercise that requires control, strength, and precision. We’ll explore three variations to help you build up to the full movement:
1. A beginner-friendly version – a great way to introduce the exercise to clients who need to develop the necessary strength before adding resistance.
2. The traditional horseback facing forward – breaking down key details to refine alignment, engagement, and execution.
3. The horseback facing backward – an advanced variation that challenges stability and control in a new way.
No matter where you are in your practice, this breakdown will help you refine your technique and build strength progressively.
