Episode 61: The 411 on Recovery Nutrition for Gymnasts


Listen Later

Do you know how to optimize recovery nutrition for your gymnast?

Today I want to talk all about recovery nutrition for gymnasts because all too frequently, parents and gymnasts are focusing on the wrong things at the wrong time. 

It is towards the end of August at the time of this recording, and most gymnasts are heading back to school. Which means incredibly long days away from home. So my question to you is, is your gymnast really recovering from all her training in the gym?

If your gymnast is not recovering from her training, they are not going to get stronger or better from their training. Or the results they want. Plus it puts them at an incredibly high risk for injury.

When an athlete isn't eating enough to support their daily needs, the recovery nutrition your gymnast is using won't give them the results they want.

Listen to today's episode to hear how to ensure recovery nutrition for your gymnast is on the right track.

In this episode you'll hear about: 

  • The 5th event in gymnastics...do you know what it is?
  • The big rocks of recovery nutrition and what you need to know to ensure your gymnast is getting it right
  • Whether your gymnast is at risk of losing hard-earned muscle during practice from improper fueling.
