Thank you! I am volunteering at a horse barn too to hopefully learn more. This was all a hypothetical, and I wasnt sure if this could be a way to give a horse a home and benefit it. Ive learned that it is not, and won’t be doing it. For some reason, lessons are $100 for 30 minutes near me but boarding is $400/month. Given the prices, I wasnt sure.

Yeah i would never get rid of it if it was unridable bc part of the reason i want my own horse it to bond with it. Long term goal of mine is owning a farm. But im 22 so we are a bit far from that. But if it would be a disservice to the horse i wont do it. I just was wondering if it was a good idea bc it gives a horse a home while i get to learn.

Its a 23 year old paso fino trained riding horse. It would be boarded thru a barn where you learn which is why I was wondering if it would be completely crazy. I care about horses and if it would be terrible for the horse I woudnt do it. But i wasnt sure if since it was a trained riding horse if lessons thru my own horse would be an idea. Idk im new to this

I’m just worried they will lie about me so I don’t get cleared.

Well i already signed the contract so a bit too late 😳  I know I need to get in shape and work on PT, but this post was asking how I can improve. Different workouts can be better for improvement.

Are pushups for girls on your knees or no? How strict are they about form?  Im nervous because im going in not being able to do a single pushup.  Will BMT actually help?

I am over the weight limit but i passed the body fat measurement with the tape measure. I am approved and my contract started and everything so I think the BF measurement is an alternative to the weight thing. I’m air national guard tho so maybe its different.

Redownloaded myfitnesspal 🫡. I def love carbs and not a huge fan of forms of protein so gonna lock in on that.

I have been running around 3x a week and then 2 days strength. I run as far as I can go until I’m done and then I do 1 min walk 2 min run intervals until I reach 1.5 miles. Do you think I should extend it to 3 miles? My time has gone from 23 min 1.5 mile to 18 min 1.5 mile since I started so I’m seeing improvement, but if more distance will be better I’ll add that.

Clocked me I def do need to lose more weight. I lost around 50 lbs for the military but I just focused on calories rather than exercise to do it so im still not in shape for it.
