A conversation with Claudia Hodgson, a Stage Manager turned Online Fitness Coach for backstage theatre professionals.

Her TheatreFit program has helped backstage theatre professionals increase their energy, get fitter and drop unwanted body fat in a sustainable way to ensure it doesn’t interfere (negatively) with their career.

Topics:

⭐️ Finding exercises you enjoy

⭐️ Best time of day for working out

⭐️ Importance of eating 10g of fiber

⭐️ Health challenges for offstage workers

⭐️ How long it takes to establish a health routine

⭐️ Working out twice a week is better than not working out

What we don’t talk about is mental health. While the physical fitness is what we focus on today, it isn’t a wholesome solution unless it is paired with mental health.

According to the World Health Organization, good mental health is when you can:

⭐️ Work productively

⭐️ Realize your potential

⭐️ Contribute to the community

⭐️ Cope with normal stresses of life

Physical fitness and a healthy diet can complement a balanced life. But the mental health has to be in good shape for a sustained healthy lifestyle.
