The first in the series of DVD exercises focuses on the pelvis, the second on the upper body, and the third on the core with the goal of showing how easy–to–do movements can vastly improve time in the saddle.

The series is divided into three separate DVD programs. The first focuses on the pelvis, the second on the upper body, and the third on the core. "My goal with these videos is to show riders of all disciplines, how easy–to–do movements can vastly improve their time in the saddle," says Jennifer.  The exercises provided in the DVDs are designed to work with your body, not against it. These are gentle exercises that produce impressive results.

"A lifetime of bad postural habits, sitting behind a desk and ignored injuries had turned my body into a crooked, stiff mess. A mess that couldn't do what I loved to do – ride. I can tell you with certainty that every ‘body’ - even mine – can improve. I say, 'even mine', because from the time I can remember, I was the world’s worst athlete," said Jennifer. 

The entire series focuses on increasing rider flexibility, strength and fluidity, all of which will improve your riding and your life. "Jennifer is every woman. As far as I'm concerned, Jennifer has discovered the fountain of youth! These exercises can all be done in the privacy of your own home, at your own pace. No matter how stiff or sore your body may feel, with these easy-to-do exercises, you can improve," said Bonnie.

The first of three DVDs in the “Improve Your Riding Through Movement - The Pelvis” will officially launch on May 1, 2015. However, advance orders for the DVD can be placed at JenniferKotylo.com right now. These orders will ship first. DVD number two in the series, focusing on the upper body, is releasing this summer, followed by the third DVD, focusing on the core soon thereafter.

In addition to her being a competitive dressage rider, Jennifer is also a sought after speaker, clinician and columnist. Her credentials include an MBA in finance and strategic planning as well as a BA in economics.
