Notes of Wellness: Maintaining Health on Tour
Here we’ll explore clever workarounds for getting exercise and proper food under the constraints of travel. There are simple strategies, like walking to your rehearsals. There are great hotel room workouts on YouTube when you’re clueless where the gym is and don’t have the time anyway. Just keeping a bag of apples in your car or in your hotel room can work wonders when fighting off junk-food cravings. We’ll also take a peek into an exciting new dietary option taking the world by storm: the Whole-Food Plant-Based diet.
The Athletic Challenges of a Singer:
Singing can be a real Catch-22 when it comes to maintaining your health. More than just a melodious pursuit, singing is an athletic feat that demands stamina and physical resilience. However, despite the rigors of singing challenging repertoire with proper technique and support, singing alone won’t keep you toned or keep health issues at bay. Singing is a “workout”, for sure, but without the physical benefits of jogging, pilates, swimming and the like. Additionally, late-night performances can trigger untimely hunger pangs, and the rigors of constant travel can take a toll on your overall fitness.
Before you embark on any changes to your diet or exercise regimen, please consult our MEDICAL DISCLAIMER, as well as the disclaimers within the workout videos, and always seek guidance from your medical professional to ensure your safety and well-being.
