WEBVTT - Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Prep 

0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Hi, welcome back to Bounce Forward with me, Tip Haul.

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custodians at the land

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.880
<v Speaker 1>on which I'm recording this podcast, the WERENDR people of

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:12.719
<v Speaker 1>the Koolin Nation.

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 2>I pay my respects to elders past and present. Alice

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 2>has a question.

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Tiff, I saw Taylor swifts workout routine recently and

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>would love to know what you think of it, if

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:27.159
<v Speaker 1>it compares to any athletes or celebs that you have

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>trained over the years.

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Alice, I love Taylor.

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Big Swifty over here, and I went to her concert

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and she is impressive. She was performing, running up and

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 1>down that massive stage for three hours, singing and dancing

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>like her cardio was next level. I did a little

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:52.480
<v Speaker 1>bit of research and I found some quotes from Taylor's

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 1>p T. Kirk Myers, and he said there was an

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>off season where she wasn't really touring, and an in

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>season when she was and off season training was swift.

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>They were in the gym six days a week for

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>sometimes up to two hours a day, focusing on strength,

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>conditioning and targeting her core, which was key to her singing.

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>And her dancing.

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Taylor trained during the entire tour still and would average

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>two times a week in season, training was more about

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>maintenance and it was more likely stability mobility by mechanics.

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And if you've seen the show, you know how intense

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>it is physically. Imagine doing three to four days in

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>a row, three hour shows a night, plus flying around

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the world and showing up to a gym. I mean,

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy, that's Taylor, That's crazy. He actually pointed out

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.639
<v Speaker 1>as a trainer that one thing they really do focus

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>on is her core and the strength of her breathing,

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>because a breathing is a really big part of your core,

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and fully breathing throughout your workouts helps to strengthen your

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and it would be so important for her singing, so

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>her die fram even you know from pelvic floor die fram.

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>All the parts of the core really important.

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>In that I've trained a fair few celebrities, if you

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>follow me, some very important people.

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Training a celebrity is a lot of pressure.

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>And I've had a few of them come to me

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 1>with goals, specific goals that they needed to target, be

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 1>it weight loss or basic just.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Conditioning for a film role or something like that.

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>And you do need to tailor your approach specifically for

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>that celebrity, whereas in the general population their goals aren't

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>usually as specific. So you really do need to look

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>at your training intensity and volume a little bit differently,

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's not as skilled specific training as if you

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 1>were training an athlete. It's more for aesthetics, which is

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>something different for me as well. I guess I would

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:04.679
<v Speaker 1>prefer sports specific training and more athletic training overall aesthetics.

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>But I get it. It's image and it's important.

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>But I was very, very impressed by Taylor's cardio ability. Oh,

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and I thought, I want to try her workout, which

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>would be like singing her set list whilst I'm lightly jogging,

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes she was running on that stage, sometimes she

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>was jogging, sometimes she was walking, but she was moving

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>that entire time. So if you were on a treadmill

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>for three hours, going at different paces during different songs, oh,

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I could do it. Seriously, I don't

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 1>think my cardio would be up to it. I'm astonished actually,

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>So I know when I this is such a low level,

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>But when I teach my TXO workouts and you know

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm filming twenty or thirty workouts in a day, and

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I have to talk and exercise at the same time.

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 2>I have to train for that.

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Because say, now you said, tif, I need you to

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>film a program, I wouldn't be able to do it

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>because I haven't been training in that way, and I

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be able to talk and move in a video.

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>You want me to be able to talk as I'm talking,

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>now you and paffing, because you wouldn't be able to

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>make out what I'm saying. So you have to be

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>super fit and train cardio. And usually I will talk

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 1>as I'm running or sing along as I'm running outside

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>or something, or in treadmill, in my home gym or

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>where no one can see me. And that's a way

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>to build cardio fitness so that you can talk and move.

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'm low level, like I'm just doing star jumps

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>over here and talking in a normal voice. She's hitting

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>the high notes, she is playing guitar, she's dancing her

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>she's amazing, Like I am just the biggest fan of

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.119
<v Speaker 1>her endurance. I just think she's a phenomenal athlete. Taylor

0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Swift so compared to other celebs I've trained, all their

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>goals have been so so different, and some of the

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>celebs I've trained have had multiple trainers for different aspects,

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I was brought in for a bit more of

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>a martial arty conditioning side of things, whereas they.

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Also had a trainer for muscle building.

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's interesting to see how, you know, celebrities have

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.720
<v Speaker 1>all these different things and different different systems in place

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 1>to get what they need. You know, I've had I've

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.919
<v Speaker 1>trained celebrities with personal chefs, and you think, wow, Like,

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>imagine you had a personal chef, like just cook for

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>you all the meals, have all your macros perfectly mapped out,

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>delicious meals. Of course you'd be in good shape. Right,

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>someone's just serving you the food. All you have to

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 1>do is eat it and then do what your training

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 1>tells you, and of course you'd be in an amazing shape. Like,

0:05:55.240 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>there's just some incredible systems out there to support people

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that they are in peak condition all

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.919
<v Speaker 1>the time. And it's that behind the scenes stuff that

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't see and you don't know about that I

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>think is really misleading because you think, oh, that's just

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:14.039
<v Speaker 1>them on a good day.

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 2>It's not.

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 1>They've got all these people working in the background for them,

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>making sure that they get up in the morning and

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that they are doing all the work.

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 2>And so I can't imagine.

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 1>The entourage that Taylor Swift would have and the support

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 1>networks that she would have to make sure that she

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.840
<v Speaker 1>can perform day in day out, back to back shows,

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.919
<v Speaker 1>three hours a night, like just incredible.

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 2>My name is Taylor, I'll be your host. Becuse me,

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:43.920
<v Speaker 2>thank you for joining us your own ears tour.

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I went to the Eras tour and I was so excited.

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was the best night ever. I dressed

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>up in my sparkles. I went in the Fearless Error.

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I had like a little sparkly dress and some cowboy

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>boots on and ah, so fun.

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 2>It was so amazing.

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:07.600
<v Speaker 1>And when she popped up out of the shell fans,

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I just I lost my breath, Like she was just

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>so stunning, and her singing was amazing, and even when

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>she did the acoustic stuff, it was phenomenal.

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 2>She didn't miss a beat, she didn't drop a note.

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 1>She was just so professional, and I thought that really

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>shone through. That is practice, that is rehearsing, that is

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, discipline, and she strikes me as such a

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>disciplined person. I really respected that and on the night,

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the atmosphere at the MCG was just electric and everyone

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.239
<v Speaker 1>singing along to her songs and it was such.

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 2>A beautiful vibe.

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 1>She's created such a strong community, and it's that power

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>of community, isn't it. It's a power of community and

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>it's just unbreakable. It's not just fandom and it's not

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>just looking up to someone. It's a community. You feel bonded.

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:03.000
