We believe in being additive in both fitness and nutrition. Whether you want to improve performance or the quality of food on your plate we are going to by adding to what you're currently doing instead of subtracting. How Our Program Works:

LPD provides clients the opportunity to identify and work towards quantifiable goals both inside and outside the training environment. With an emphasis on the individual, each client receives a personalized program and the coaching needed to successfully achieve their goals. Recognizing the need for evidence-based practices, coaches at LPD apply just the right mix of the art and science, leading to success at local, national, and international levels. This process not only looks at your physical attributes, but your other characteristics (e.g. injury history, training experience, nutrition, and sleep habits) as well. We will make sure that you have the opportunity to talk with your coaches and ask them questions to ensure you are comfortable when you return for future training sessions. With the information gathered from the assessment, we will design a program made just for you. You will always be closely monitored throughout the entirety of your program by our team of specialists.

💥 Dancers, Want to take your performance to the next level while staying strong and injury-free all season??

Find a strength training plan that you can stick to throughout your season!
Check out these tips from .dsanders for in-season strength training:👇

1️⃣ Plan 2 Training Sessions per Week.
Just a couple of weekly strength sessions will maintain and even enhance your neuromuscular adaptation. Spread your training over the week to keep fatigue low and energy high for classes and rehearsals. 🔋

2️⃣ Prioritize Multi-Joint Moves
Exercises like squats, lunges and push-ups require the coordinated use of multiple joints and large muscle groups. Focusing on functional movements like these will lead to favorable strength and body composition adaptations. Also, these movements have a greater carry-over to dance performance when compared to single-joint movements.

3️⃣ Stay Efficient with Your Time
Get in, get out, get stronger! Keep your rest periods at 1.5-2 minutes for max results and finish your workout in 40-50 minutes. You’ve got dancing to do, after all! 💃

4️⃣ Leave Gas In The Tank
Don’t overdo it! You don’t need to push to muscle failure. Leave a few reps in the tank, so you can recover faster and stay at the top of your game in the studio. ⚖️

By following these tips from .dsanders, you’ll be able to seamlessly add or maintain strength training into your busy dance season!

Stay Strong All Season 💥🩰

Dance is demanding on the body, and preventing injuries requires a smart, balanced approach. Here are 3 things you can do, to help meet your training demands throughout the year:

🍽️ Fuel Your Body
Your body needs nutrients to repair damaged tissue and restore energy levels. Insufficient calorie consumption increases injury risk 2-3 fold (PMID: 21212503). This state will also increase injury severity and time ro recover.

💤 Prioritize Sleep
You’ve probably heard this before, but it is worth repeating! During sleep, growth hormone peaks and cortisol drops, creating an optimal environment to help repair body tissues. So if you regularly sleep 7 hours or less per night you have 2x the injury risk of someone who sleeps 8, and 3x the risk of someone who sleeps 9! (PMID: 30888337)

🏋️‍♀️ Strength train regularly
Getting strong will gradually condition your body to tolerate higher demands, thus helping prevent injury. Regular strength training (2-3x/ week) for 8 months or more can decrease injury risk 66% (PMID: 30131322).

When you master these fundamentals, you set the stage for a successful and injury-free season. 🌟
