Episode 13: Back to School Nutrition for the Gymnast
Sep 26, 2022 Season 1 Episode 13
Christina Anderson

It's back-to-school time for your gymnast's nutrition. Did you envision making super cute bento-box lunches for them...and then reality hit and it's more like a fire drill each morning, throwing whatever you have into their lunch box?! And forget about feeding them breakfast before running out the door!

While unfortunately this is totally normal and a by-product of our hectic lives, many gymnasts show up to afternoon workouts during the school year underfueled, which has significant impacts on them during and outside of practice.   I want to give you 3 things to keep in mind for your gymnast's nutrition this school year.  

In this episode, you'll learn: 

  • Why it's important to have a plan when it comes to fueling at school.
  • Why your gymnast needs a performance nutrition strategy 
  • Red flags that might indicate your gymnast is underfueling throughout the day
