This is the final episode of Healthy Habits four-part series
"Be Healthy"(59:03)
In continuing our conversation about the science and motivation behind exercise (going off the book "No Sweat" by Michelle Segar) we delve into topics like:
And many other aspects of motivation! There are several aspects of this episode we would really love your input on - drop a message in the comments when you hear them and let us know! We'd love to see a full message board of people sharing similar experiences (you're not alone!)
This week we talk about the different types of coaching, exercise programs and how to find the one that suits you best!
We WERE going to be talking about the exercise psychology using the book "No Sweat" by Michelle Segar - but Angela's library audio book had to be returned and she only got the paper book a day or so before the podcast so she didn't have time to read it! That means we'll be covering it next week. part2 exercise
In this episode Angela and Dr. Jen meets Hillary Lester and talks about her struggles and journey related to fitness and music.
In this episode Angela and Dr. Jen meets Christine Clancy of (Effortless Musician). They talked about how "Effortless Musician" started, what is it about and what it offers.
In this episode, Ricardo and I discuss how musicians can get their bodies ready now that many venues and recording studios are back in business. All musicians, no matter the genre, should listen to the advice of an expert. Your body is your number one instrument. Respect it as you would your music. My book: “The Musicians Essential Exercises“ is a solid reference for everyone wanting to take excellent care of their body.

In this episode Angela of Music Strong and Dr. Jen of Tuned and Toned Performance meets Austin Pancer (The Functional Musician). They talked about his struggles and reasons he started "The Functional Musician".
Are you a musician? Do you listen to podcasts? If so, The Business Side of Music should be on your playlist radar! Recently I had my second interview with them
Did you know that when playing your instrument, that there’s actually a question of ergonomics? Beyond getting the best sound possible, is there a better way to hold your instrument? Is your posture the best for you when performing? Are you standing or sitting correctly? How about that pain-related playing you experience after long hours of practicing or performing. Are the bad habits you’ve picked up over the years, or even in the past year of the pandemic lockdown, fixable. Does the imbalance of your instrument cause you physical pain? Angela McCuiston is here to explain it all to us.
We talk about taking care of your body, along with taking care of your hearing, all things that musicians (or anyone who works in the music industry, for that matter) should pay close attention to.
I highly encourage you to subscribe to their podcast. These guys interview a smorgasboard of the big names in the biz, and if you’re a musician, you’re in business for yourself, so you should definitely learn from these guys who know it all!
We covered a few things, my book: The Musician’s Essential Exercises (in both print and ebook), the Covid Comeback and the group coaching program coming soon I think I’m going to call “Fitness for Musicians” – please help me come up with another name) let’s go through, quickly, with some links!
So things have evolved since the podcast and while the program has been out since December, I’m REALLY excited to announce a partnership with Hyperice for the 12 week challenge. For anyone who signs up for the 12-week challenge, not only will you get 1-1 training sessions with me included, you’ll also get a Hypervolt Go! percussive massage gun for FREE as well as detailed recovery days using the gun and their free IOS app (Android coming out within 30 days). LOVE to share all the fun details with you here!
This is a BRAND NEW concept. It’s not a workout – what it IS is a program designed to equip you to know yourself and understand your body and what it needs to prevent injury and take care of yourself. As I said, it’s not a workout, but it IS a community, with group coaching and great content that I’m super excited to share with you. I could go on but I’d rather let my video explain it. If you are interested in knowing the 3 Steps to Prevent Injury, Increase Stamina and Increase the Longevity of Your Career as a Musician You can click here to get details! After you’ve watched it, send me an email to learn more and see if it’s right for you!
The video so you can watch us is coming soon – in the meantime, you can still “watch” it on YouTube, or right here.
core = goal
3 core problems
what we want

Does this strike a chord for you? (pun intended! HA!)
I recently did a survey of musicians asking them if these were accurate and 100% of them answered they were! I thought maybe there would be some dissent, but no. Because when you think about it and really get down to what it means to be “FIT” as a musician and what prevents us from getting there, these are the core issues and what we want.
This is a program that is launching SOON and I really want you to join us. I also want to TALK TO YOU to find out more about you, your frustrations, wishes, desires, goals and problems and also what did or did not speak to you with this. If you have concerns, questions, ideas, I totally want to hear from you! PLEASE book a call with me here….or if email is the only way, by all means, send me an email!
And for the rest, if what I said speaks to your underlying concerns, if you’re ready, click the button below and let’s do this!
