Lack of fitness...me not horse!

[pottamus]

Despite having a horse and riding 6 days a week ans all the necessary work involved in having a horse...I am pretty unfit!!
There will come a time very soon when I am resigned to riding at weekends only due to dark mornings and nights and only having road hacking available...so I want to replace my mornings rides that I currently do for another activity that does not mean travelling to a gym and allows me to still see to my horse before work....my thinking is an exercise bike that I can work up the time on and get fitter and stronger....what are your thoughts...what do you guys do to keep fit please?

try walking & running. set yourself a time/distance that you want to run then build up the amount of time you spend running reducing walking time as you get fitter until you can run the full distance then start increasing the distance that you run until you are happy with your fitness.

Can you play badminton??? That will definately keep you fit over the winter! And you are more likely to stick with it than an exercise bike! If you do opt for the exericse bike then make sure you have some good tunes on your ipod to combt the boredom!
