HORSE RIDING AS
EXERCISE |
|
ABOUT NORFOLK, ENGLAND |
|
|
|
|
Horse riding is an
excellent way to keep yourself fit and healthy, because
as the horse moves, the rider must constantly rebalance
themselves using the muscles in the trunk, pelvis and
thighs. And when the horse is trotting or
cantering the rider is getting additional cardiovascular
exercise which is great for your lungs and heart!
It's believed that an hour of riding can provide the
same benefits as an hour of jogging or half an hour of
dancing, aerobics or skiing - burning off more than 200
calories. |

Norfolk is a low-lying county in the East of England -
bordering Lincolnshire to the west, Cambridgeshire to
the west and southwest and with Suffolk to the south.
Its northern and eastern boundaries are the North Sea
coast. The county town of Norfolk is Norwich.
In 2006 Norfolk's population was 832,400 (mid 2006), yet
Norfolk has about one-thirtieth the population density
of Central London, with 38% of the county’s population
living in the three major built up areas of Norwich
(194,200), Great Yarmouth (66,400) and King's Lynn
(40,700). |
