#FITFIERCEFEMALES: CYNTHIA ERIVO’S “AT HOME GYM”

In honor of this week being about Fit Fierce Females in FFB-land, we wanted to bring you some #FridayFitFierceFemale Vibes c/o Cynthia Erivo. Firstly, we would like to nominate Cynthia Erivo as President of the Fit Fierce Female club. In all seriousness, when and where can we sign up for this club!? lol She is always on the road, following her passion, and STILL makes health and fitness a priority #noexcuses. To say we’re inspired would be an understatement. She is our Broadway Hero through and through.

We need her secrets to stay on track! We love to watch her instastories to gain inspiration and here are a few of her go to’s on the road. These exercises are perfect for vacations, tour (currently trying to channel my inner Cynthia on the road), trips to visit family or days that you want a great at-home workout! #thefrugallife

You will need:

  1. Yoga mat/towel: unroll your mat/towel anywhere and you are ready to work it out.
  2. Jump rope: it’s all the rage right now… and it is worth the hype. It is portable and easy to pack, it’s killer cardio, and you can do it ANYWHERE. (check out Amanda Kloots for more Bway jump rope motivation)
  3. Ab Wheel: Oh yes – we have seen Cynthia rock this! Easy to travel with and an amazing ab workout. {Check out her form!!}
  4. Resistance band: Replace the weights for a resistance band on the road.

Some Combinations we have seen on Cynthia’s Instagram. We tested this combo out and feel stronger already! 

Jump Rope:

  • Normal jumps
  • High knees
  • Side to side
  • Jumping jacks

Plank Series:

  • 2 shoulder taps
  • 2 ankle taps
  • 2 push ups
  • x 10

We can’t wait until ya’ll hear The BE Way episode, “Fit Fierce Females” , this week with Adrienne Warren, Ana Villafane, & Ariana Debose. (launching soon!)

How To Start Singing

So you want to start singing? Great! You might be so excited you can’t wait for your first lesson. If you are like most people, you may also be filled with a little trepidation or even outright anxiety. Here are 5 pieces of advice to help make that first lesson a great one.   1. You Are Not Supposed To Know Anything Yet. Your teacher is not a judge on American Idol. Remember that when you walk into your first lesson and first learn how to start singing, it is their job to teach you, not your job to impress them. Relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy   learning how to sing   from someone who has dedicated their life to it. They will appreciate you acknowledging their expertise, and you will be relieved from the pressure to perform.   2. Love Your Mistakes. Mistakes are not mistakes, they are part of the learning process. Imagine that instead of learning to sing, you were learning to   play guitar . Would you cringe and crumble every time you plucked the wrong n...

We are so excited to launch this initiative, and most specifically, this series of blog posts, with our great colleague, Jane Jourdan, founder of Fit for Broadway. We value our partnership with Fit for Broadway, not least because of the ways it prompts us all to think about fitness. Typically, when people hear the word “fitness,” they think of the ways we use the body to become more healthy. Whether through strength training, cardiovascular exercise, high-intensity intervals, calisthenics, or any of the enormous number of fitness activities that have arisen in recent years, our culture has seen the evolution of incredible diversity in the ways we train our bodies. In addition, as we learn and perceive more about the connections between mind and body – meditation, yoga, and other practices to train ...
