My training schedule as a dancer
Hello everyone!
In this post I will be telling you all what types of workouts do I do, how often do I train and when do I train! Keep in mind that this is the training plan I follow in the summer. From August to June I train a lot more because right now I am in a summer break but I still do want to train at least a little bit.
I do all of this everyday except Sunday. On Sunday I usually do something more chill. For example I like to play volleyball or go swimming.
–50 minutes of brisk walking in the morning
–30 minutes of cardio in the elliptical after my lunch
–1.5 hours of stretching after my cardio workout
–Thera-band exercises to strengthen my arch+calf raises
–30 minutes of conditioning exercises: Planks, crunches,push-ups etc.
–1.5-2 hour dance class
–Another 30 minutes of stretching
So there my training program is! If you have any questions about it or if you want me to explain something more specifically then please comment!!
As my next post I will be sharing with you tips on how do I motivate myself everyday to workout and eat healthy. I will try to post it as soon as possible.
See you in my next post!
What do I eat in a day as a dancer
Hello everyone!
In this post I will be telling you what do I eat in a usual day as a dancer. Of course I do not eat the same food everyday but this is just an example. In a few weeks I will do a “what do i eat in a week” post where you can see a bigger variety of different meals.
To start of my day I drank a big glass of water with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a squeeze of lemon. I drank it before I went to my morning walk.
As my breakfast I drank a homemade green smoothie. In the smoothie I have kale, strawberries, mango, banana, spirulina and protein powder.
After my breakfast smoothie I stretched for 1.5 hours. While I stretched I drank an ice coffee. Besides coffee it has a bit of skim milk.
For my pre-workout lunch I ate two pieces of bread topped with half of an avocado and two fried eggs. I also had some tomatoes and cucumber. After I ate this meal I did an upper-body workout.
5 PM
At 5 PM I had my dinner. I was in a rush so I unfortunately did not have time to take a picture. Sorry!! Anyways I had chicken, vegetables and quinoa. After eating my dinner I went to dance and before that I drank a store bought protein shake.
Thank you for reading this post and I hope you got some inspiration for your meals! In my next post I will be revealing my training program so stay tuned for that. I will post it next week.
See you soon!
My first post+introduction
Hello everyone!
So this is my first post. From now on I will be writing at least twice a week.
In this first post I decided to introduce my self and tell you about my new blog and also most importantly tell you what subjects will I be writing about!
I am a dancer and I am really passionate about a healthy lifestyle. All of us dancers know the struggle of trying to look fit for stage but on the same time wanting to stuff yourself with delicious food. In this blog I will be posting the recipes and pictures of some of my meals that I eat to fuel my dancing. Not only I try to eat healthy but I also make my meals delicious. That way around I won´t have to struggle through my performance with only water and kale.
In addition to helping you to eat and fuel your body I will also post my workouts and strech routines. Outside of class I always work on my own. If anyones interested I could also do a little “myday” where I could show you my usual day: when do I wake up, how much do i workout, when do I go to dance class etc.
If anyone has anything special that you would like me to post about feel free to share it in the comment section.
In my next post I will show you guys what I eat in a day full of dancing! It will be out on next weeks monday or tuesday depending on when I have more time to write.
xoxo, see you soon!
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
