Riding into your future

Are you looking to keep riding into your 30’s 40’s 50’s and beyond? If so, looking after your health so that you remain fit for the future is a lifestyle decision that you need to take now!

Riding is an excellent form of exercise, but are you paying equal attention to what you eat? For example - your bones must be healthy so they don’t break when you take a fall, and joints need to stay healthy and flexible so that riding does not become painful as you age.

Our bodies - like everything in life - suffer from ‘wear and tear’. As we get older our metabolism becomes less efficient at repairing damage, and, as we all know, sitting in the saddle for any length of time places extra stress to hips, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee and ankle joints. Getting older means that our bodies take longer to recover from these stresses - and we need the right fuel ingredients to do it properly.

The good news is that modifying your diet or taking supplements can compensate for this loss of metabolic efficiency, and keep you fit for riding now and into your future!

How much dairy produce and green leafy vegetables do you eat every day? if your answer is ‘not much’, taking a daily supplement with calcium, magnesium and vitamin D is an essential lifestyle choice. You would be surprised at how much calcium you need every day to keep bones healthy - see the link below to compare what you need with what you actually eat!

Looking after your joints is directly related to diet, and there is a wealth of scientific data to prove it. How much fatty fish do you eat? This is a vital source of Omega 3 fatty acids, with nuts and seeds providing Omega 6. Eating more fish or taking a supplement with these ingredients as well as a Glucosamine, Chrondroitin, Manganese and MSM supplement combination can help ensure that joints stay healthy and flexible so that you can pursue your riding career for many years to come.
