As the end of 2020 draws near (FINALLY), SmartPak is here for you. Is getting more fit on your short list of resolutions? Then #SweatWithSmartPak might be exactly what you need.

Last month SmartPak began a mini-series featuring exercises you can do at home (or at the barn) to improve your strength in and out of the saddle. Here is their second quick and easy workout to keep you saddle ready.

This workout is focusing on HIIT (high intensity interval training) and core strengthening moves you can do at home, the barn or anywhere you have space. Here are step-by-step instructions for this workout.
