As a dancer how do you keep yourself fit always. Any particular workout and diet regime that you follow?
While dance is definitely a way of keeping fit for dancers, over the years I realized there is a lot more needed on the fitness front to give dancers the fitness levels that we need. That`s when I took into account my own fitness regime which has helped me shape up a healthy body. From various body weight exercises / calisthenics (with or without additional weights), adding in some yoga practices, cross fit training and at times elements of Parkour and Gymnastics have all been included in my fitness regime. With time I started realizing how important it is for me to maintain good fitness levels to ensure I can pursue dance for a longer period of time. I even started exploring different elements of training which helped me build an overall better physique and it also helps me to push my boundaries to the best I can.
