gymnasts staying healthy

Gymnastics is a dangerous sport. We have to do everything we can to prevent traumatic and overuse injury.

Al Fong points out that we ALSO need do everything we can to avoid illness.

Do:
– Eat nutritiously and stay away from junk food, including sodas.
– Get plenty of sleep and rest.
– Practice proper hygiene –wash your hands often, brush your teeth, use deodorant and mouth wash.
– Regularly clean your wrist bands to prevent rips on your wrists.
– Keep your finger nails and toe nails trimmed.

Don’t:
– Drink from the same bottle or share the same spoon or fork with others.
– Spray your mouth from the spray bottle at the chalk tray.
– Lick your fingers or hands as you chalk up during bars.
– Spit on your hands.
– Tear your rips. Instead, neatly clip them with finger nail clippers.
– Workout without properly warming up and stretching.
