Paloma School of Irish Dance
Fitness Philosophy: For any athlete to reach their full physical potential, they must maintain a high fitness level. This fitness level is attained through many important avenues including exercise, proper nutrition, mental strength, rest and recovery, strength training, etc... Below are some helpful tips and links for our dancers (and their families) to help them reach their fitness goals. |
NutritionWe recommend "Simple & Merry", a health coaching and nutritional therapist website. They are a local company that offers classes, a regularly updated nutrition blog, fabulous recipes on their website, etc...
|
Daily Exercise & RestIt is important to follow a regular training regimen as well as achieve the 8-10 hours of sleep needed a day (based on age.) Please click on the document below to download a sample Weekly Irish Dance Workout.
|
Mental StrengthA great way to find mental peace and strength is through weekly support groups (from Sunday School to getting together with friends) and also through reading from books that promote health and hope. Children can read stories about successful athletes and adults can find inspiration from many different genres from biographies to self-help books. Check out your local library to see what you can find!
