Today marks day 46 of my P90X3
routine from Beach Body. It has not been
an easy journey but failure is not an option in my quest for better health and
physical fitness. Now, why am I blogging
about my fitness routine on a music blog site?
A healthy body will assist in creating the best music possible that’s
why!
All of my music students out there
will recount every time their professor told them to use their abdominals to
assist with air support. Yes, a six-pack
will not make you play better but when you are doing a 4-hour gig and have to
sing or play an F6 for 16 counts it kind of helps. Think about the out of shape percussionist
that have to carry a bass drum for an entire parade? So, am I starting to make any sense so
far? Check out this study on the affects
of physical fitness on music performance conducted by researchers.
On the entertainment side of music
physical fitness is a huge factor in building a marketable appearance in the
industry. We hear and see music
superstars talk about how important it is to “be comfortable in your skin”
everyday. The harsh reality is that most executives will turn down an artist
just because of the way they look and marketability. With America taking more steps towards cutting
obesity the industry will do their part in putting out artists who they believe
will have the biggest influence on the public.
I may not be where I want to be but I
am well on my way thanks to Tony Horton and P90X3. If you are interested in

you. In the meantime stay healthy, be
creative, and continue to live the music in a positive light!
