What a question, you might think, of course not! From an early age we have learned that you have to warm up your muscles before doing a heavy exercise. And yet many people don't do this with their singing voice. Whether in rehearsals or during <a href=\"https:\/\/singasong-behappy.de\/en\/2021\/10\/18\/buehnenpraesenz-wege-zum-ziel\/\">Performances<\/a>They just sing away, up to high registers that demand maximum performance from their vocal muscles. And they are surprised when their voice breaks or they become prematurely hoarse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Competitive athletes, dancers and instrumentalists spend a lot of time building muscle strength, good technique and neuromuscular memory for their movement sequences. As singers, we can learn a lot from them - especially from the principles and systematics of their training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also the <strong>Structure of an exercise session<\/strong> we can learn from them. Each training is divided into three phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aufwarmen-und-dehnen\">Warm up and stretch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim of warming up is to improve blood circulation to the muscles to be targeted, to mobilise the muscle and connective tissue and to prevent injuries.

The new training stimulus should only be set when the muscles (vocal folds), connective tissue and cartilage (larynx and stellate cartilage) have had enough time to recover and strengthen. As a rule, one day is sufficient as a regeneration break. If you sing a lot and already have a well-developed, trained voice, you do not need to take a day off, but you should make sure to train different vocal functions in regular rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/singasong-behappy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trainieren-wie-ein-sportler-1024x621.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3183\" style=\"width:902px;height:547px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/singasong-behappy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trainieren-wie-ein-sportler-1024x621.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/singasong-behappy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trainieren-wie-ein-sportler-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/singasong-behappy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trainieren-wie-ein-sportler-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/singasong-behappy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trainieren-wie-ein-sportler-1536x932.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/singasong-behappy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trainieren-wie-ein-sportler-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/singasong-behappy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trainieren-wie-ein-sportler-600x364.jpg 600w, https:\/\/singasong-behappy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trainieren-wie-ein-sportler.jpg 1895w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Repetition and continuity is one of the most important rules<\/strong> for a healthy and long-lasting voice.

When your general condition has improved so that you feel healthy again, your vocal muscles need at least one week longer to be able to work again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your training with easy exercises such as bubbling, tongue trills or humming. Do not train for more than 15 minutes at the beginning and avoid using your voice in high registers. Increase the amount of training you do each time, in small steps, and stop immediately when you feel vocal fatigue. <a href=\"https:\/\/singasong-behappy.de\/en\/2022\/08\/30\/frosch-im-hals\/\">Drink more water<\/a> than usual. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>W\u00fcrdest du direkt nach dem Aufstehen eine Tiefkniebeuge mit 60 Kg auf den Schultern machen?
