LOSE EXERCISE | This is the sport that will help you lose weight and to which everyone from Bella Hadid to Elsa Pataky and María Pedraza are fans

It is perfect for toning the abdominal and pelvic muscles, as well strengthens leg muscles (quadriceps and hamstrings) and of course the glutes. Regarding its ability to make us lose calories, we have to say that it is also a very good cardiovascular exercise, which can demand the same levels of effort as running or cycling. It all depends on the rhythm. That is to say, it is not the same to go to the walk, to the trot or to the gallop and, even, to practice jumps. In fact, according to a study from the University of Arizona, jogging is more or less equivalent to playing badminton or dancing; galloping can be compared to playing squash and, finally, jumping requires an effort similar to playing football or basketball. To give you an idea, an obstacle course can easily burn 600 calories per hour. In addition, riding a horse also helps to improve body posture, as it requires keeping your back straight, also improving your sense of balance.
