I see a lot of music. I average four or five shows a month, but during festival and Summer-tour season, I'm on my feet for three or four days full of concerts. I do my best to keep my body feeling strong and refreshed at every show, so I can keep going the following day by following a few simple rules. My shoulders (and heart) ache for any woman I see lugging around a huge purse (I keep a few essentials close in a fanny pack), and my choice of footwear is always dependent on comfort and function (these Reebok high-tops are always packed in my weekend bag). Also, I drink water - lots and lots of water.
Despite these precautionary measures, I dance hard, and I'm often sore after a big day (or night) of music. That's where these three stretches come in handy. I move through them before the show starts, always repeat right before bed, and then do them again as soon as I wake up the next morning. Try them yourself the next time you're going to be on your feet for a few days; I guarantee they'll become part of your festival ritual, too.
