Day in the life : Ballet Student VS Professional Ballet Dancer

[@HannahMartinRG]

How have you changed over the years? Let me know 🙌🏻

Started seeing a story in Life

[@francescamarshall1033]

When I was an athlete (jockey) I could exercise for so many hours a day and spend so much time in the gym and my body was very powerful. Now with my disability I can’t go to the gym at all and everything is very weak all round so I have to be very careful with it and plan my limited energy consumption carefully so I can make it through a week or even a day. Life is different now, it’s not about giving up on your dreams, just finding different ones ✨

[@kindofballet]

I went from studying Physics at university to being a pre professional ballet dancer (apprentice). quite a change, but the best thing I could have ever done 😊

[@CatholicBallerina47]

I think I've changed a good bit from when I was younger. Right now (earlier today, tomorrow, and Saturday), I'm performing and I realized I was SO much more relaxed than I was in previous years, 👍👍

[@ivyarianrhod]

It's so neat that, from vlogging, you can literally look back and see your own growth. Sometimes it's hard to remember where you might have been a couple years ago, but with proper introspection, you can appreciate all that's happened in the meantime, and the lessons learned. Great video! 💗

[@HannahMartinRG]

Thanks Ivy! So glad you enjoyed the concept! Been meaning to do this video for so long!

[@Doruss96]

I'm not a dancer but I love watching your videos so much. I always come back to your channel when I'm feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Your hard work, your faith and your humility are inspiring and motivating beyond words.

[@HannahMartinRG]

That means so much! Thank you!!

[@anonymousanonymous-tw3wm]

Exactly the same reason Im here 💕

[@marinelefebure5861]

You have really grown nicely ! I think I've also learned to work smarter instead of harder and to be less hard on myself I really liked you talking about how your stretching routine has evolved. Do you think you could do a video about this ? Like explaining what streches you're not doing anymore and why and what you are doing now and why ?

[@HannahMartinRG]

Yes! I certainly can try to do this video! Thank you for your suggestion!

[@Emily-ni2zg]

Such a cool video. Loved your friends reference to “future Hannah” fitting in just perfectly

[@slippery-out-there]

My sister in law is Laura Hussey and she was with Birmingham Royal ballet (previously sadlers wells royal ballet)….it great to see how things are these days ❤

[@HannahMartinRG]

Glad to be giving the updates 😅 it’s an honour to be a part of BRB

[@Denner777]

Thank you for sharing and comparing your growth. The evolution on your mindset is as interesting as the evolution in dance.

[@HannahMartinRG]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed!

[@helene2064]

Thank you soooooo much for that video Hannah! I really needed to hear your conclusion at the end ... very inspiring.

[@HannahMartinRG]

So glad you enjoyed and found this helpful 😅

[@cass_p]

I'm so glad you've gotten better at resting and taking care of yourself over the years :)

[@HannahMartinRG]

Thank you!

[@roxykoehn1527]

wow, what an interesting video.. sorry for not watching your vids lately. But that must have taken you quite a while to edit! well done :D

[@HannahMartinRG]

Thank you so much!

[@ragelnyg4895]

[@balletforever1935]

I thank you very much for your videos because they helped my stay motivated 😌

[@HannahMartinRG]

That means a lot! Thank you

[@balletforever1935]

Hi Hannah! I trained more this year because I'am starting s dance school next year and i'm verry happy😊🩰

[@HannahMartinRG]

Hope you are enjoying! Good luck on your journey ❤

[@balletforever1935]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️😘 Your videos are very inspiring.

[@balletforever1935]

And happy birthday 🎂

[@anonymousanonymous-tw3wm]

I appreciate your vlogs.

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

This video was very philosophical, especially at the end! In your stage of life, one gets so many new experiences, and learns so much that each year is very distinct from the previous year. You have a correct attitude towards life. I guess that's a matter of opinion, but being able to adapt is essential to thriving in a new environment, or under different circumstances in the same environment. Don't worry if the thriving doesn't occur right away because adapting is usually not accomplished right away. Thank you for recommending the Andy Murray autobiography. One of the best (not just sports) autobiographies I have ever read is by another tennis player named Andre Agassi. You probably don't remember him because I think he retired when you were a small child, but his autobiography is full of philosophy that he discovered throughout his life. He married the ladies' tennis superstar Steffi Graf, who was a humble and shy sweetheart. Both of them had very pushy sports dads, who were very difficult to deal with. They live quietly with their two kids, and they do charity fundraisers, but they are mostly interested in a quiet life and helping people. Andre attended one of those exploitative tennis academies as a teenager so he feels he was basically completely uneducated. He has made great efforts to ensure that underprivileged kids get a proper education. Thank you very much for the video! I'm glad you're doing so well! ❤😎🌸💐

[@HannahMartinRG]

Thank you once again for such wonderful insights!! I hope you enjoy the Andy Murray book if you have a chance to read it!

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

@@HannahMartinRG you are welcome! I have just watched your latest video 🥳 and will write a comment there too. I have not read the Andy Murray book yet, but it is on my reading list. He doesn’t seem to be playing in the French Open this year and neither is Rafa Nadal. I just checked - May 29th is the first day and nope. Andy has been through so many surgeries that I don’t know how he is able to compete at that level anyway! Maybe you’ll find some time to watch it - at least the highlights. Happy birthday!!

Hello

[@deeboolove1301]

Love to seeing you dance in the white leotard and speak about dreaming bag and making changes that’s fabulous also don’t eat rice rice is a carbohydrate and it’s just a lost it doesn’t have any it’s just turns to sugar so that’s another thing I used to eat a lot of rice a lot of pasta a lot of bread and a lot of oatmeal and a lot of gluten and I don’t anymore and I’m so glad I have better energy and a better life and better your body the immune system in the healing system for your heart your body is is dependent upon the nutrition you eat and if you’re eating a lot of gluten in rice and stuff it’s it’s not good anyway mama hair mama hair just giving you a little bit of info I wish somebody would’ve told me earlier I probably wouldn’t have listened but maybe eventually it’ll thinking lol 🤩👍🤍🌈🇬🇧

[@ArtisticAsian1014]

I half agree with your comment. TBH the way you wrote confuses me somewhat so if I misunderstood, my apologies. I'm writing this based on what I remember from my science and health class which was a few years ago. Yes, too much of any type of food is unhealthy but I wouldn't go as far as to say to cut out one food group completely. Moderation is key in my opinion and everyone's diet is different as everybody has different nutritional needs. Carbs have two categories simple and complex. Simple carbs are simple sugars that can be found in candy, white sugar(sucrose), fruits (fructose and glucose), and milk (lactose). The body processes break down the bonds and release the sugars quickly into the bloodstream. The quick release of sugar is what causes a sugar spike(and crash) which is the reason why the amount of pure sugar should be controlled. In terms of fruit, some have a high amount of sugar but those also contain vitamins and other nutrients so it's all about balance. Complex carbs are also known as starches and as the name implies take longer to break down. Complex carbs are "better" than simple carbs for this reason as they provide a slower release of energy. Rice and pasta are examples of starches. Too much of a starch can be detrimental to onces health if the body can't burn off the food and thus it gets stored in the body as fat. It's good to have some fat in the body but again, not in excess as that puts strain on our systems. With how active Hannah is as a dancer she could eat more carbs(and food in general) than a person with a desk job as she uses up more energy/calories than them on a daily basis. I don't know Hannah personally but I believe she knows her body's needs as she listens to what it tells her and thus eats what her body is asking for. Could she be eating too much of something or deficient in something? Yes but hopefully she isn't and good form. Just to clarify, oatmeal isn't a carb but a grain, and in its natural form doesn't contain gluten. Rice also is naturally gluten-free. Gluten is a type of protein that acts as a binder, (it actually is the Latin word for "glue") and is what gives the "stretchy" texture. Gluten is found in certain grains such as wheat, rye, and barley but can also be found in unsuspecting items such as sauces, fried foods, lotions, makeup, and other goods. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better by altering your diet. I relate with you on this as a few years ago I had to change my diet after being tested for new allergies. Learned I had developed more allergies including wheat. Most places have a hard time grasping the concept of a wheat allergy; as in they don't know what is made from wheat so to make it easy I just say I'm gluten-free. I basically tell people if it's made with flour then I probably can't have it. In cutting out the allergen I stop being in such a "fog" state. As I'm on a somewhat gluten-free diet, rice is my main carbohydrate. There are GF pasta and bread but they're more expensive and there's less of the food in the package than the regular food (the reason why they became treats). Also, some processed GF foods have higher sugar and salt content than regular. I have rice for almost every meal if not then at least once a day. As I mention in the first paragraph, I just moderate how much rice I eat. Usually, I eat 1/2 to 1 cup of rice per meal. Last year I decided to reduce/limit my intake of processed or refined sugars which gave me a boost of energy. Sugar in my coffee is the only constant pure/straight refined sugar I have daily but I manage to reduce it to 1tsp (2tsp if it's bad coffee). I do have other refined sugars in a day but they are mixed with other ingredients: such as a small dessert (like a piece of chocolate) to signal the end of a meal. I had decided to reduce processed sugar since I wanted to have more energy and be healthier which happened. Two unexpected/unplanned but welcomed results were I lost weight and my skin cleared up even more. To anyone who reads this, listen to your body (and doctor). Find what works for you. Your body is unique and thus has its own needs. All I have to say is moderation and balance are key. Eat the right proportions for you. Eat healthy to live long but also treat yourself as life is too short. Listen to what your body is telling you.

[@PerfectAttention]

yeah pasta is garbage , but brown rice is full of vitamins what are you eating now?what's your daily diet? Also,what the other commenter said , a lot of it is up to the individual , we all have unique bodies,some can go full vegan and be healthy , others need more animal products etc...there is no one size fits all diet

[@Bocampeon_2022]

I Goona miss your oversplits juju

[@ruby.dance-b]

Hannah I always wondered are you supportive of lgbtq + people? Ik a lot of Christians don't support and I wondered what your opinion is ❤

[@tammystiletto]

I don’t know what her view is, but mine is share how Jesus has helped your life and tell people about Jesus but don’t tell people how to be themselves. No matter what it is, if they know Jesus like we do then whatever works for them in their life Jesus will guide them to. There is still so much we do not understand but we can understand how to live and motivate each other.

[@deeboolove1301]

I want to say first of all you have such a beautiful face sweet young and gorgeous…. I love your authenticity… I was horrified to see that you have the cordless earphones I wore them to but my business partner found out that they caused cancer and are very dangerous they met a frequency that literally fried your brain so get the court kind do not put those in your ears ever 😫🥵⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥🔥🔥🔥🆘🆘🆘🛑🛑🛑 yeah the thing is that gluten turns straight to sugar and has no nutritional value so if you’re eating a bunch of bread what you really need is protein vegetables and fruit you’ve got the fruit there but it’s minimal what you’re mostly eating there is gluten and it’s really not you are what you eat and that took me a long time I used to love my oatmeal but at 61 you kind of mature up and you grow up and you discipline yourself I know now when I eat the right thing I feel good and it’s worth it when you get to be my age you let go of childish things… your backward split is simply amazing we didn’t do that back in the day as a ballet dancers just straight on the floor was as far as it really went I remember as a 50 year old taking a class with some really young girls and they said oh we got to do our splits and they put a block under the back of my leg I didn’t really go down very far lol oh well 😝🙏🤍🌈

[@ArtisticAsian1014]

Do you mean wireless earphones? Do you know where your business partner heard wireless earphones cause cancer? I haven't heard about this at all and if true would like to read more about this research and tell my family and acquaintances if true. I know earphones of any kind can damage your hearing if one is not careful about the volume level as any loud noise affects hearing. Wireless things do emit electromagnetic frequency and slight radiation however last I heard the levels showed no significant threat. In fact, if I recall, Bluetooth emitted less radiation than cell phones. To be fair, we're pretty much always bombarded with radiation both from natural (like the sun)and artificial sources(electronics). Also, there are different types of radiation with varying degrees of damage. I already commented on food but gluten doesn't turn into sugar. You're right though in saying sugar doesn't have any nutritional value. It's a source for the body to burn for energy though. I assume Hannah is eating well and we just don't see everything because she doesn't film/post everything as she is busy being a dancer first. At least that's what I hope. Oatmeal isn't bad and can be healthy depending on what you put in it, the amount or portion, and other factors.

[@deeboolove1301]

@@ArtisticAsian1014 you can justify this and and try to manipulate things to be in denial about the damage that the brain gets it causes cancer it radiates the brain it is designed to cause harm they want to do population control and if you are so mind control that you can except the fact that there are truth or‘s they literally get out the radiation monitors and it goes spiking to astronomical levels that is not safe for human people I’ve seen many many of these videos and that it is now I’d like it for workers that work in radiation level environments they have to stay away from toxic areas and it was so off the charts it was mine boggling so we’re just trying to tell you as best we can don’t do it if you want to believe that you can go ahead find out what happens I want every black brain cell I can have somebody taking the time to tell you and warn you and you sit there and want to justify it I don’t know where he saw it he he’s a genius himself so high functioning autistic genius like Ramen guy type guy but anyway do what you feel guided to do take the risk if you want to I certainly wouldn’t if there was a bottle of poison in front of me and everybody tell me all fine drink Diet Coke it’s fine for you and drink the water and everything else if you want to believe that good stuff go ahead 🫣🤍🙏😁🌈🤩✨
