In addition to grab-and-go snacks, hydration is a nonnegotiable aspect of Snyder’s daily routine. To ensure she is properly hydrated, she carries a large water bottle marked with time stamps throughout the day. The time markers are a good indicator to Snyder for when she may be falling behind and needs to up her water intake.Hydrationhelps her feel energized for the day and prevents the feeling of fatigue or cramping to ensure optimal performance under the spotlight.
How Snyder Recovers After Performances
The final curtain call doesn’t mark the end of Snyder’s routine. Post-show, she treats herself to her favorite dinner, “There is nothing better than having a nice piece of salmon with rice and veggies after a long day. It never gets old.” (We bet Snyder would love ourRoasted Salmon Rice Bowl with Beets & Brussels!) Beyond the delicious flavors, this meal prioritizes a balance ofomega-3 fatty acids, protein, carbohydrates and nutrients, an essential combination in any healthy eating pattern.
After a long day of rehearsals and shows, and with a 6 a.m. call time the next day, quick muscle recovery is crucial to Snyder’s routine. To support her body’s recovery, Snyder turns to her trusted Therabody Theragun. It’s a percussion massage device, which helps alleviate muscle soreness, ensuring she wakes up feeling refreshed and ready the next morning for another day of rehearsals and performances.
