Getting in shape for Brooke Wyndham!! Help!!!

[Maddie22]

I recently got cast as Brooke Wyndham in a local production of "Legally Blonde" and I am super excited. There's just one problem...I don't think I'm in shape for this role at all!

 
Now I'm not overweight or unhealthy or anything, I'm just not very fit, and would lose my breath with something like jump roping an entire song...which Brooke has to do while singing. I don't want to let anyone down and I know I can do it, but I need to get Whipped Into Shape if you will.
 

Does anyone have any workouts that could help me out with this? Any past experiences or advice?

I was in Whipped in Legally Blonde recently! Definitely start practicing early; jump-roping can be challenging in a different way than running or dancing is. Try jump-roping to "Whipped into Shape" to have a rhythm to follow, and then try to add in some singing. If you're also seeking alternative exercise, try something that will have jumping in it, like ballet. Break a leg!

If you're already in rehearsals, it's probably too late to get to where you want to be. Getting in shape takes time (read: months.) You can't just do some cardio for a few weeks and expect to be a musical theatre machine. Outside of developing a regular workout regimen, I would recommend practicing singing and doing your choreography (once you learn it) at the same time. Part of being able to sing and jump all over the place at the same time is building up your instrument and being able to support your breath and still allow the air to slowly release instead of what your body usually does when you are working out, which is to quickly inhale and immediately exhale.
