Resolution: Incorporate  Exercise and Yoga to take care of my singing voice.

What does exercise and yoga do for the singing voice?  Ah, the list is endless. 

Cardio enhances your breath capacity and breath support.  Try running or going on the elliptical machine and then practice.  Notice how you breathe more deeply and efficiently for singing.

Just about any type of exercise releases endorphins which make you feel better as a person and increases your brain synapse responses, making you think better.  Go for a walk and then put together a plan as to how to tackle that next role.  Your brain will function better.

Yoga and Pilates:  yes, they are exercise and put you in tune with your body and what it does, good habits and bad habits with posture.  It lets you know what muscles are underworked and overworked.  It helps you to strengthen your core and powerhouse of singing.  Think, where does your breath support come from?  Your abs and ribs play a large role.  They also relax you and enable you to focus.   The more in touch you are with your individual body, the better singer you become.

Challenge yourself and add exercise in one way or more 4-5x a week.  How does that impact your voice?
