Getting it done with Tina Turner
No, I’m not talking about her song, Steamy Windows! I’m talking about her fitness routine and her spirit for life! She insisted if you take care of yourself, 60 is nothing theses days and in today’s world you can be the kind of woman you want to be. Tina has been an inspiration to me for multiple reasons. I love playing her music when I’m heading into a show, in fact I would love to do a freestyle to Better Be Good To Me with Alliance as I think it shares some parallels to our relationship over the years. I have also admired her zest for life through out her career and her fitness. She has been know for her legs and stamina during her shows…..so let’s get to it! We talk about our horses being fit for dressage, but what about their riders, can’t we hold ourselves to the same standards? This doesn’t have to be a ground breaking regime but just a steady pace. As Tina mentions, the key to making exercise a regular habit is to find something you genuinely love doing, so she danced! I know a lady who runs marathons with a group of ladies from her barn, they enjoy encouraging each other and creating camaraderie. At our barn we workout every Tuesday and Thursday morning before we ride. I wouldn’t say we create camaraderie as much as we complain, but we do get it done! You don’t have to do a crazy routine but as Tina says, find something you love to do and do it regularly. Hold yourself to the same standard as your partner and throw some Tina on and get inspired!
