Magnus Lygdbäck works with touring performers like Katy Perry and noticed no one plans their wellness around shows. He breaks down what time artists should wake, which workouts matter, and how to structure the hours before a 20,000-person performance to peak physically and mentally.
When you're on tour, your schedule is created for you to take you from city to city, to do radio promo and to do shows. There's nothing in there that is about you and your wellness.
None at all.
Nothing at all. Nothing to really look. What do you need? So if Katy Perry's got a show for 20,000 people at 8pm, I look at when should she be waking up? What type of workout should she be doing during the day to optimize the performance at night? What is she doing three hours before a show, one hour before the show, or even 20 minutes? So traditionally, it's all been, you know, warming up the voice, doing a sound check, sitting in the locker room. But I'm. I'm big about looking at the details. What do I do to optimize myself to perform? So when I get on stage, how do I know that I've done everything I can physically, mentally, to be at my best? And what do you do after when you get off stage?
I think you're supposed to go out for drinks and make out with fans. At least that's what I've mostly seen from the rock stars I've hung with.
Well, we'll do that for three weeks straight. I know. And see how you wrecked. See, so that's. You know, when I got thrown into that world, I realized I need more tools. So that's when I got into the lifestyle. Coaching, nutrition, and really starting working on how I can help someone with structure and optimizing inward good habits, out with bad habits. The training's just a little part of it.
