I like to bring granola bars for carbs and some kind of fruit or veggie and a sweet treat!

[quote=gotchalk35]hey i just went to my doctor and he said that my pelvis is expanding and thats why im having major hip pains...[/quote] So they are growing pains then? Did your doctor say you can do whatever skills you can in the gym that don't hurt or you can handle, or did he restrict your practice himself? You should make sure, cuz you don't want to make things worse, or ruin your body[ Read More... ]

i usually take A LOT of water and fruits and crackers. never bring anything like soda or candy

One of the boys at the gym eats lots of power bars, but I heard on the news or something that they aren't so good for you. I stick to real food snacks - fruit, vegetables, crackers, cereal, etc.

I like to bring something dry - like cereal, crackers, etc. and something wet like fruit. A couple of times we got a mouse behind the lockers!! One of the girls that likes playing with hamsters and apparently rodents, coaxed it outside with a broom or something. And we're not in New York with all the mice and rats - you now David Letterman's jokes on that lol, they are funny. You have to be[ Read More... ]

SOYJOY bars!!!

One of the coaches at the gym sometimes uses drinks/snacks as a manipulation tool - like no drink or no snack until you do such and such.

I don't think kids should have to ignore being hungry or thirsty - it can really affect your concentration and increase your risk of injury then. Plus, anyways it is recommended that you[ Read More... ]

We eat small snacks during practice too if we get hungry - something like fruit, chips, chocolate or candy, left overs from lunch - depending on what we feel like. We don't have any rules on it, but this one time a couple of girls brought some kind of pastry for a snack and the coach ate it! Yes, without asking. When some of the girls confronted him about it - everone was surprised - he said[ Read More... ]

We keep small snacks/drink in our lockers to eat if we get hungry during practice, and in our gym bag for during competition. What do you take for snack at gym practice / competition? I like to bring fruit - grapes work well b/c they are small and won't get brown spots from biting into it once and then leaving it out a while, but even bruised brown they still taste good too - like sliced[ Read More... ]
