We've talked about how tricky the health and fitness industry can be and how we need to always continue learning and growing within it. Today, we focus a little more about what's missing from the health and nutrition portion in regards to those with nutritionist degrees. There are still some missing pieces that need to be addressed for those of you who are working within this field but also for those of you who are looking for someone to help you reach your health goals.

Today, we talk about injuries that are not necessarily athletic or dance-based, but can come from simple strength training. All of these injuries are common to those who are not applying proper mechanics or technique during training which is why it is so important to have a good trainer to help you out!

Did you know that turnout was a movement and not a position?

Not a whole lot of people do. For everyone, range of motion in the hip is crucial to everyday movements. Today, I share some ways you can improve, not only your turnout, but also the range of motion of the joint to prevent injury down the road.

Have you been considering enrolling your child in a dance competition team but are unsure of whether or not it's right for them? Hopefully through this episode I have been able to give you some things to think about. Dance teachers tend to hide some of the downsides that can come from being highly involved in competitive dance which is why I want to reveal them to you in case you are still questioning this decision.

Today we'll be talking about the pros and cons of CrossFit and how you can incorporate a healthy CrossFit routine into your workout schedule if it's something you want to try. I'm not a huge supporter of this cult favorite due to its increased risk of injuries and other issues, however, I give it a fair go as I work through some of the positives that CrossFit presents.

Why does food always bother your stomach and make you feel horrible? It could be as simple as gut imbalance. In today's episode, I lay out a couple things you can do to see if this is the reason why mealtimes are unpleasant and how to work on reversing these symptoms.

All of us need to have cross training defined for us to better understand how we can properly utilize injury prevention techniques and training outside of dance and athletics. I feel that a lot of coaches and teachers just don't know how to define this for their students but students. Overtraining happens in the studio and on the field almost 100% of the time. Dancers and athletes want to ultimately get better at their career choice so naturally, wouldn't this mean more studio time or more time practicing their sport? Find out all the answers in today's episode!

Switching gears today to include the parents of the dancers and athletes that I talk to every week. They are so important and often-overlooked (and sometimes purposefully ignored) by a lot of dance teachers and coaches. At La Belle Vie Fitness & Dance, we make it a point to include parents in what their kids are being taught. Which is why we will be launching a brand new series just for parents to learn how to provide healthy, on-the-go meals for their kids, how to balance their schedules to allow for "work-life" balance, and even what their kids might be learning in traditional classes that could be setting them back. These workshops will be launching in the Spring! You can read more here: https://www.labelleviefitness.com/teacher-programs

Parents, thank you for everything that you do! I appreciate your hard work and everything you do for your kids.
