Default Fitness and Clowning

I do a lot of physical comedy when I clown. IMO, if you do physical comedy, the more physically fit you are the more fun you will have and less likely to pull a muscle that doesn't get stretched often.

To stay fit, I try to walk a lot, work out with weights and do a lot of stretching. My favorite workout is TaeBo. The biggest benefit from exercise is after I get up early and work all day and come home tired, I can still play with my 2 year old daughter who has no interest in just watching a video with me.

Does anyone else have a workout routine that helps them with clowning?

Darrell

Does walking to the refrigerator count? What about lugging your props around. Parking on the wrong end of a parking lot and then carrying your showbox, balloon bag, face painting kit and the rest into perform?

How about jumping to conclusions?

Patting myself on the back?
