🩰Dancers are you prepping your lower body for the typical daily requirements of a dancer?🩰

So I’ve had a lot of questions about this particular exercise over the past week with Nutcracker rehearsals currently ongoing or just getting started.

One of those main questions being is it still OK to incorporate plyometric exercises in the thick of rehearsals and performance?

The short answer is yes. However, there are some things you should keep in mind while on this topic.
1. If you have been training with plyometrics already throughout the year, then 100% it’s safe to incorporate. Again, always within reason.
2. You first inform us always have to understand the current workload. If you are jumping each and every day for large amounts of volume more than likely, you are already fatigued, and this will only lead to overuse injuries.
3. Lastly, you don’t want to just do this to do it. You need to have a reason and purpose much like anything with your cross training.

If you can give a checkmark to each and every one of these, then I highly recommend trying this one out as this move is great for building stability total body control, and coordination are very important for dancers!
