Consistency is key. "This is something I am still striving for and have struggled with, especially during the pandemic," Sydney said. "There are days where I am so motivated to do two or three workouts, and then there are days where I don't feel like moving my body at all. Being a professional dancer comes with an intense amount of discipline, so I have been trained to fight through some of my sluggish days. Factoring in breaks is just as important."
Allow rest days. "To combat this intensity, I implement rest days to allow myself to feel 'human' again. This time during the pandemic has really been really great for that, and it's helped me to not be so hard on myself."
Create a schedule. "My advice would be to create or strive for a schedule that challenges and excites you, but also allows you to breathe and feel gratitude. It's a balancing act, but that sweet spot is where I feel my best."
