Hi guys!
Should dancers be afraid of the gym? I am so excited to bring you this conversation I had with Lili, who is a dancer and soon to be personal trainer! We talk about the stigma behind female dancers lifting weights, how cross training can improve your dancing, and how weight lifting has specifically helped both of us with our mental health and body image. Make sure you leave any questions for her below, or check out her Instagram @the.barbell.ballerina

I am a Certified Nutrition Health Coach and a part of the International Association for Health Coaches. I am also working towards my master’s degree in human nutrition through the University of Bridgeport. My role in the healthcare industry is to teach others about healthy and nutritional basics. I support individuals in achieving health and behavioral changes based on their personal goals that are consistent with any treatment plans prescribed by an individual’s professional health care providers. With my dance background in both training and professional environments, I help dancers to learn about a balanced approach to nutrition and creating a healthy body image and relationship with food. However, I am not a Certified Nutrition Specialist (although I am working towards this) or a Registered Dietitian, nor do I claim to be one. I do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or interpret medical results. It is my duty to refer individuals to necessary health care professionals in cases of nutritional deficiencies, injuries, illnesses, or other chronic physical or mental health care issues.
