Health component of science. We talk a lot in my class about what they should be eating, how much and why. Basically it boils down to fueling the machine so it can do its best. I try to teach them how to read food labels so they can make better choices. We talk about balancing out what they eat. A sugary cookie is great to have as a lunch time dessert... but 4 of them should not be your lunch and why.


I think the and why is what makes some of them try to eat better. And it's never about sugar making them hyper.

They hear about how I eat differently depending on my training. Thursday is a big cardio day - I eat more carbs... that sort of thing.

They are always shocked by how little soda I drink.
