CROSS TRAINING How practicing different disciplines helps your Dance, Martial Arts & Movement
CROSS TRAINING - One thing I have found is that combining different movement arts has helped me to improve my dancing, get stronger and more flexible, and keep expanding my skills beyond what I thought would be possible, and in a much shorter time than by simply drilling technique..
I started out with belly dance as an adult, then added on ballet, then (internal & external) martial arts and flexibility work, then basic strength training and mobility practice, and now I feel more energized, mobile and free in my fourties than I did twenty years ago.
Life is short! But it doesn't need to mean you cannot follow mulitple interests and still grow your skills in more than one direction.
All thanks to crosstraining.
Timestamps below!
In this video I share my experiences, how this approach has benefitted me in life, as well as practical tips on how to incorporate both strength and flexibility (or mobility) training into your (probably already well-filled) life.
So.. CROSSTRAINING What is it? Why do it? Where to start? And how can it benefit your life (as well as any dance/sports/movement art you would like to get better at) even as an adult beginner?
Enjoy!
