When a Holiday really isn't a Holiday


There is no rest for the wicked! Oh dear, even that sounds like a musical theatre reference. What I mean is that if, like me, you are lucky enough to have jumped on the train of wanting to perform as a career there is no break.
I attend a performing arts academy/college at the moment and after our end of year showcase everyone celebrated the fact that we have 3 months off. Wrong! We have 3 months of working just as hard but without the guidance of teachers and classes. Boy it's hard work.
With auditions just around the corner you need to be at the top of your game constantly. So here's how I have been doing:
Dancing- I literally have not even taken one class since the end term.
Singing- I sing almost everyday with a full warm up and steam daily.
Fitness- I have been attending 'Insanity' workout sessions and hopefully am going to start a bit of boxercise and some core training.
Diet- My diet hasn't really changed, I've kept mostly on top of it, except for last night when I ate two plates of homemade curry and half a Terry's chocolate orange...

It's so important to keep on top of your own body, in terms of fitness and in terms of technique, when you're having some down time and it's not easy. But think of how much better it'll be when you walk back into a class at college, or into an audition and feel top of your game and ready to impress. I'm not going to lie, I'm finding it really hard, other things come up, family gets in the way of trying to lead your own personal abs workout and sometimes you just don't know where to start.
But keep going. You're doing great.
