“The Physical Demands of Being a Musician: Burning 3,500 Calories per Concert”

“The summer season is actually physically difficult,” says Roziņš, because he is preparing for concerts with the group “Citi zēni”.

“I have already mentioned a couple of times: I put on a sports watch during the concert and its load – 144 average heart rate and for an hour… You can actually burn some 900 calories in one concert!” says the musician.

He admits that he can “cut out” his clothes after a concert, and if it happens that there are four concerts a day in the summer…

“Imagine, that’s 3,500 calories “burned” just on stage… It’s hard physical work at the end,” concludes Roziņš.

At the same time, he plays basketball and goes to the gym to have the strength to withstand the concert load.
