Training For The Stage

If you are a stage performer, it's important to have a fitness practice that serves your creativity. On top of that, your training needs to make you healthier and full of energy.

The training sessions I design are inspired by the skills i learned as an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Turbulence Trainer of the Year, and as a working musical theatre dancer and choreographer.

When it comes to activities that are outside my "Zone of Delight," I have a very short attention span. My solution is to use Tabata Training: 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work alternating with 10 seconds of rest. I use bodyweight or resistance exercises that alternate with the dance moves that I love.

If you enjoy any style of dancing, I encourage you to try this technique.

I'm keeping this brief because I'm getting prepared to train right now.

Here is the Tabata of the Day.

First I wam up with:

8 Total Body Extentions

8 Mountain Climbers

8 Alternating side Lunges.

My Tabata Template is as follows:

Running Man 20 sceonds 10 seconds of rest.

Push ups. " "

T-Steps " "

Squats " "

DnB Step " "

Plank " "

Rocking " "

Skater Hops. " "

I finish with my stretching Tabata.

I will be creating posts and videos to demonstrate the steps and exercises later, but now it's time to train!

Now I want you to think of four dance steps you love to do so that you can start designing Tabatas of your very own.

All the Best,

Catherine
