Yes please!
Alterration, is the DressurFit program a lot of yoga? I often see Jessica doing yoga online, and wondered if that is a big part of the program. Thanks.
Itās got both. Lots of Pilates style of exercises and also yoga.

Iāve decided to sign up for DRT3. I have two more workouts left in DRT2, so the timing is perfect to roll right into 3 without losing momentum.
I use Activate Your Seat. I have health issues where I frequently have problems with more typical programs because if Iām sick I lose fitness and start back at the beginning, but itās low impact and focused enough on my particular problem muscle groups to be of use. It feels super easy, and yet makes a distinct difference for me. She also gives a lot of free videos on Facebook for different groups targeted purposes.

raises hand - I joined last year but didnāt complete DRT1. I did download all the exercises and I desperately need to do this work. Iāve got a big horse with a stop and spin that I need to get over. 
OK, who do we have so far that want to be part of an accountability group (without shaming.)? Lets see if we can keep each other on track and honest.

Iām in.
I have to go in to the office tomorrow and then have an evening event to go to. So, this means I will get up at 5 am to fit in Day 1 of DRT1.
I mean it! (lol)
Iām planning to join. Will be DRT1 for me.
I havenāt been riding as my horse is rehabbing, but it will be good to get me ready for when I get back in the saddle.
Iām in! Just started week 2 this morning. I need to either find a second yoga mat or use a pillow because my knees already hurt hahaha
I finally opened the download and of course, skipped straight to the first test - rising from a chair using only one leg! I had damage to my sciatic nerve in my right leg years ago and as a result have lost muscle in it. I can manage to stand with the left leg but the right needs a lot of help. (This could explain why I brace off my left leg when I ride.) So, lots of work ahead for me.
oh yikesā¦ I canāt do either leg. I have the DRT1&2 USB drives, so i guess I am inā¦
My personal opinionā¦ I have been doing a Pilates class for people with back issues for a year. The program by Jessica v.Bredow Werndl is very different. Itās working on building a very solid core. I like it because it adds up to my Pilates class and I already feel how strong my core is gettingā¦.
I found that the stools at my kitchen island are a good height for me to start from. They are not as low as the chairs at the kitchen table but still require some lift. Also, if you canāt do that, you can cheat and do a small push off the kithen counter or use that to help balance yourself as you are standing. It really frustrates me that I have so little strength in my legs. When I was a teenage I could put a leg out in front of me and on one leg do a squat all the way to the floor and come back up. I guess the last 50 years have not been kind! lol

What kind of equipment do you need and what is the format, videos, list of exercises orā¦?
Yes, it is different. I just couldnāt figure out how to describe it. Maybe functional strength? But that gives people visions of weights and lifting.
Either way, itās a fantastic program and I love the new club!

Assuming you are asking about DRT, it is 3 20-minute sessions per week, one is core, one is strength, and one yoga. There is also homework, which I often fail to do (stretches off-horse, riding without stirrups, etc.)
Equipment is simple: yoga ball, resistance bands, and eventually a couple 10lb dumbbells. It can be helpful to have a foam roller too. There were 1-2 sessions using a soccer ball, so I went and bought one, but it never reappeared. The simplicity makes it ideal for people who travel since you can pack your bands and most hotel gyms have at least a yoga ball and a couple dumbbells.
Yes!! Totally agree 
Great idea about using higher chairs at first. Sadly, I donāt have that, but I do have TRX straps that hook over a door and I can use them to practice one-legged squats, so that is my plan there.
Coincidentally, the Peloton challenge group (PZPack.com) I subscribe too has just opened a strength challenge, too! I hope it is along the lines of PowerZone training as that worked well for me.
