Episode 08: Gymnast Nutrition + Endurance
Sep 05, 2022 Season 1 Episode 8
Christina Anderson

What does nutrition have to do with a gymnast’s endurance? A lot. For most gymnasts, including myself, if their routine endurance isn’t where they think it should be they often think it’s a “try harder, more cardio, more conditioning” issue which isn’t always the case.

If a gymnast can't repair, recover, AND adapt, their endurance will pay the price. 

In this episode, you'll learn: 

  • Why overall underfueling is often the unknown reason for endurance issues
  • How inadequate (or inappropriate) Performance Nutrition is affecting your gymnast's endurance
  • What role iron levels play in a high-level athlete's endurance
