Handel's Messiah: The Workout Part 1
It's that time of year! This month our schedules are usually booked with holiday gigs, shows, and solo opportunities. One work that is always there is Handel's Messiah. We've heard it so many times that by the end of it, we're singing the "Hallelujah" chorus with extra gusto. Whether you're practicing for an upcoming gig, listening to classical Christmas radio on Spotify, or just want a festive workout, get an extra workout in with our Handel's Messiah: The Workout Part 1
Every time you hear the following phrase, do the workout with the assigned amount of reps. Take breaks a needed, but try your best to complete all the reps! If at any point you are feeling out of breath, woozy, or in pain, please take a break and consult a doctor if the pain continues.
