53 Get Stronger for Your Sport in Record Time: No More Horsing Around!

The InForm Fitness Podcast

In our latest Podcast, Adam Zickerman and Mike Rogers welcome Laura Crump Anderson, InForm’s Equestrian Fitness Specialist, to discuss the importance of being your strongest and fittest for your athletic sport. Whatever your sport may be, all athletes need to train smart if they want to stay in the game!
Specific to this Podcast, however, Laura’s shameless obsession is clear – the Equestrian Athlete. Laura unwaveringly asserts that your horse is not the only athlete and excellence takes two to Tango. If you are an Equestrian, your horse depends on you being in your best physical shape, period. Regretfully, many overlook this critical fact. If you consider yourself, and not just the horse, to be the competitive athletes you both truly are, the hard message is this: Equestrians need to build muscle to their optimal capacity! Most obviously, muscle protects the Rider’s body from the beating the sport takes on themselves, but equally because a stronger Rider serves the HORSE exponentially! Ironically, the Equestrian will fully appreciate the distinction – if not for yourself, strive to be your strongest if only for the horses you LOVE! Equestrians are so admirably dedicated to their horses, but often at the expense of themselves in a multitude of ways. Every Rider, from Coast to Coast, possesses a sincere love for their horses. In Virginia – give Laura 20 twenty minutes just once a week and she will give you AND your horse the essential competitive edge you seek, not to mention a better life with less injury.
No one serves the (human) athlete better than we do at InForm Fitness. Obsessions aside, whatever your athletic sport may be, InForm Fitness can custom design a program for anyone looking to take their athletic edge to the next level, whether that be from your sedentary desk job to being in the best shape of your life, OR for the elite athlete inside you screaming to get out!

so it's really important to think about your exercise program as something you do to build muscle exercise is not recreational activity. recreational activity is things that you do in order to improve performance, not exercise. So exercising is a specific amount of time dedicated to the purpose of building muscle and that is my definition slash inform fitness definition of what exercise actually is.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show. This is we have a big, big lineup here with us today. We have of course my partner Mike, my business partner and licensee out in Virginia. Nicole Gustafson and of course, we have our guest, Laura Crump Anderson. Let me give you a little background on Laura she she first of all, she works for inform fitness. She's one of our trainers out in Virginia. Laura holds a bachelor's degree in kinesiology and she has a concentration in exercise science. After she graduated Laura became a certified personal trainer by the American College of Sports Medicine and continued her certification through the inform fitness protocol. What makes her really special besides all that already, is the fact that she is a horseback riding equestrian coach. I hope I said that right, Laura, from a very young age, Laura understood the importance of exercise also to improve performance in the saddle. So with her comprehensive understanding of all the specialized needs for equestrian riders, she fell in love with this high intensity workout, which he thought really fit in really well with her passion. And her first love. Having said that, I think what I'm going to do now is hand over the rest of the introduction to Nicole her colleague, and they work very closely together. Equestrian riding is a very specialized sport and just you don't have to be into equestrian riding or even know what equestrian riding is to benefit from listening to this, this episode, what I'd like to have come out of this is regardless of your passion, regardless of your sport, exercise. And the type of exercise is very important for that pursuit. We talk about these types of things a lot, but we're gonna kind of talk about it in context of an actual sport. So no more theory more less academic and in other words, and more in tune with reality. Alright, so So Nicole, hi.

Mike 04:08

You will have to know what horses are though

Adam 04:10

Yes, So Nicole, please say hello, and continue talking about Laura.

Nicole 04:17

Well, hello, everybody. The only thing I knew about horses, when I met Laura for the first time was that I was allergic to horses. And the entire equestrian industry intimidated me for multiple reasons. But about I would say four years ago, Laura, who was 24 at the time, walked into my office uninvited, well dressed with a resume and she sat down and all of my immediate prejudiced items were in my head. Okay. I thought at first, she's young, she is obviously well educated, and may not be in the position to add to my team right now. Now at the young age of 24, Laura, to say that she impressed me with her professionalism, and her passion would be an understatement. At 24, ...
