277. Show Schedule Survival: How to Train When You’re Busy, Tired and Travelling
Description
When shows, travel, late nights and odd hours take over, how do you keep your body from unravelling?
In this episode of The Fit2 Perform Podcast, Bobby and Steffan break down exactly how performers can stay strong, mobile and energised when life turns into a whirlwind of rehearsals, check-ins, get-outs, trains, planes, buses, hotels and eight show weeks.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about survival with strategy.
💡 What We Cover:
⚠️ The common pitfalls, including skipped sessions, overreaching and creeping muscle loss.
📉 Why your goal during busy weeks should be maintenance, not progression.
🏋️ The essentials you must preserve: mobility, core and strength patterns that stop your body from breaking down.
🧳 Portable training tools and strategies like resistance bands, bodyweight sessions, hotel gym hacks and micro-workouts.
😴 The big three of recovery, sleep, nutrition and active rest, and how to protect them when your schedule is chaos.
🧠 Mental resilience and how to keep your head straight when fatigue and pressure hit at the same time.
📅 Sample micro-programmes designed for touring weeks, tech week and heavy performance runs.
✅ Takeaways:
Identify your non-negotiables (stretching, breathing, core stability).
Switch into maintenance mode to avoid burnout or breakdown.
Build buffer weeks or deloads before intense show runs.
Keep track of what works for you on the road so you can refine your personal tour kit.
If your schedule is wild, inconsistent or completely at the mercy of the show, this episode will give you a blueprint for staying strong without sacrificing your performance.
