How Do They Work

Resistance bands are being increasingly used by riding coaches, especially biomechanics coaches or those with physiotherapy backgrounds, as we understand how important they are in helping riders engage the correct muscle chains.

You will immediately feel an increased awareness of your asymmetries and weaker muscle groups while wearing the bands. After even 10 - 15 minutes of riding in the bands, most riders report feeling increased muscle fatigue as a result of consistently engaging the correct muscles. You can start wearing them for longer periods as you become stronger.

Long-term, they will help you to be a straighter, more stable rider. Your position will improve and become more effective. Advanced riders may use them especially to correct crookedness in lateral movements, flying changes and even piaffe/passage.

Riders of all levels will find them helpful in noticing and addressing differences between riding on the right rein and the left rein at all paces.

Good material, but didn't help me at all.

The bands are robust, but they seemed to make my lower leg more UNSTABLE! I'm pivoting at the hips, and it's just not working. I work with my coach and film myself. I won't be using them.

Hello Monika, We are sorry to hear that the bands haven't worked out for you. Most of our customers find that they get immediate results, however we are all made differently and for others it has taken longer to get used to them. We hope that you will give them another try in the future. On a good note, we are glad that you thought the material was good quality.

A perfect combination with the steady hands

By adding the bands with my steady hands I could feel my core being utilised and my position changing nearly instantly. These two products alone are amazing but used together are a complete gamechanger!

I was sceptical but I have had AMAZING results!

I was slightly sceptical as to whether the EngagedRider Resistance Bands would actually make a difference to my riding but WOW!

From the very first moment I put them on I could feel my body stretch up and open through my shoulders and rib cage. Gone was the habitual leaning forward and rounded shoulders, I was able to sit up and sit deeper, particularly in the canter work.

My coach was really surprised and we will definitely be continuing to work with the bands on during my lessons to teach my body new good habits!

Thank you Equisk, fabulous product!

Not enough instruction

Amazing!

I'm a semi-disabled rider and have struggled with posture, seat, and balance. My trainer brought these bands out and put them on me and WOW! I immediately was sitting better! My posture and balance has continued to improve and I use them every time I ride. They are amazing! Everything my trainer has been trying to tell me and get me to do, I did it without thinking the first time the bands were on. I've tightened them up now and they continue to help me and my weak muscles are getting stronger every time I ride. Thank you!

Hello Lou,
Thank you so much for your valued 5-Star Review. That is so great that you noticed a difference right away and they are helping you so much. We are finding that the adjustable version of the bands are popular as they can be altered to suit different levels of ability and fitness. So great your strength is improving too. Happy Riding.
