Episode 17: Resistance Training -- When and How Much

In this episode, fitness expert, Lindsay Fisher Viatori MFA discusses the importance of resistance training for dancers. She chats about how dancers can lift a lot more than they realize, the value of old fashioned moves like squats and deadlifts, plus how to avoid overtraining. Lindsay encourages listeners to explore strength training, an activity that was once considered off-limits for dancers, and suggests you just might feel stronger, look leaner, and dance better, all while maintaining mobility.
