Physical fitness is crucial to being a successful bull rider. Being in good physical conditioning will increase your confidence, prevent injuries, and prolong your career. The best bull riders train like athletes.

For bull riding, you need to have strength, endurance, and flexibility. I recommend High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with a variety of different movements and exercises. For equipment, you should have a jump rope, some kettlebells or dumbells, and a pullup bar. Ideally, you should work with a fitness trainer for a while to learn which type of workouts to do and how to do the movements properly.

Are you struggling to find the right exercise program? I have the solution for you! I am excited to tell you about Elite Cowboy Fitness.
