Episode 105: Fueling the Young, Beginner Gymnast


Listen Later

I share a lot about fueling the high-level gymnast. But what about those who are just starting out or on the younger side? What are the best tips and tricks for fueling the young, beginner gymnast?

I'm talking about the recreational, lower Excel, and compulsory levels in today's episode. The majority of these young, beginner gymnasts aren't training more than maybe 10 hours a week. So how do you fuel them?

Listen in as I take a deep dive into what's MOST important in this stage of fueling and gymnastics. And just like our high-level gymnasts, number one first priority is to always make sure that they are getting enough nutrition for growth and development. 

In this episode you'll hear about: 

  • Overall nutrition needs for this age/stage including growth, development, and eating competency 
  • Performance Nutrition for fueling the young, beginner gymnast
  • How to tell when additional help or 1:1 support is needed
