Off Stage: The Crosstraining for Performing Arts Podcast

Ep #34: Adjusting Crosstraining for a Performance

Britta Paulin

In this episode, we dive into the process of balancing strength and flexibility cross-training while preparing for peak performance as a pole or dance athlete. Discover why aiming for higher loads with fewer reps can keep your tissues and central nervous system primed for the stage—hint: it’s about staying stong and ready!

I'll also tackle the reality of navigating training disruptions, like illness, and why perfection isn't the goal. Instead, your program acts as the bumpers on your bowling lane—keeping you on track, even when the strikes don’t come every time.

Whether you're gearing up for a competition, showcase, or just trying to stay consistent in your training, this episode is your guide to staying resilient, adaptable, and ready to go when it counts. Tune in for actionable insights and a reminder that progress doesn't have to be perfect.
