Balancing Cardio and Recovery for Fight Choreography

I’m a theater director who also handles fight choreography, and I’m curious how others approach cardio and recovery in this kind of physical work. Some days involve long rehearsals with intense movement, and I want to make sure I’m keeping my energy up while avoiding burnout. What kind of cardio routines have you found effective for maintaining stamina during demanding sessions? And how do you balance that with proper recovery, especially when you’re on your feet directing or demonstrating moves for hours? I’d love to hear what’s worked for you all.
