In season training and nutrition.
and why ???

Since the season is started up, it’s kind of difficult to stick to a training regiment (especially if you have 5 games in 4 days etc…), which is why you should already be fit by that point.

You can’t really say, "Do this this and this" because you usually do not get a chance to work out at regular intervals, which wouldn’t benefit you much at all, the reason being is you need to be overloaded and get proper rest to receive the full training benefits on a work out. You can’t work out once a week and expect to reach your ceiling level of fitness.

You should be fully fit before you attend your first practice.

You should be in maintenance mode, usually working out as little as 1 time a week will be enough to keep your strength and power gains sustained (Exercises = http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmsFum29zRfMcyiJOZiQOjHty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080225182944AALfEgZ&show=7#profile-info-wioxLD6baa). If you think you’re starting to lose some of it, then go up to 2. Endurance training only needs to be stimulated two or three times a week.

At the end of practice, go do your sprints, ultra-short interval training.
The next day, go for an hour run.
Next day or so, USIT again.

Next week switch it up, so hour run, USIT, hour run.

As for nutrition, it depends on the athlete (principle of individuality, everyone is different), but "a general rule is complex carbs (because they are absorbed and released more slowly than simple carbs, which provides a sustained high energy release. They are also high in minerals, vitamins, and fiber, while low in fat and cholesterol.) should comprise at least 60% of the diet, protein 15-20%, and fat 20-25%. This should be implimented 2 days before a game, and up to breakfast and lunch (if the game is in the evening). 2-3 hours before the game, make sure you consume a high carb, low-fat meal, and make sure you stay hydrated. You could have some whole-wheat bread or muffin, cereal, low-fat milk, and some bananas. Or a light lunch of some lean meats and some water. You should also follow that 3:1 Carb to Protein ratio 24 hours after the game, as it speeds up recovery. If you have a game the following day, just keep with the same ratios.
Learning about the in’s and out’s of internet marketing can be difficult unless you have a great mentor and where can that mentorship be found? If you really want to succeed online you must get yourself a copy of Commission Blueprint 2.0 created by Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey. The tools alone are worth the cost alone. Best wishes!

Otherwise, a normal diet would be about 50-55% carbs, 15% protein, and 30-35% fat. It should support the highest energy demands for baseball.

Supplements aren’t needed if you are eating properly. If you’re not, they’re nice to have, but your inproper eating habits are still hindering.

There is no convincing evidence that viatmins supplements are necessary for players who consume a high-energy athlete’s diet that contains mainly natural and unprocessed foods.

For water intake, you should have at least .5 liters before the game (not 10 minutes before the game), 100-200 ml every 15 minutes during the game, which is about .5 liter per hour."

I am currently taking Fish Oil and Creatine as supplements. Any pointers to improve my nutrition/supplements to help gain lean mass?

That’s an excellent diet, good job!

As far as supplements, it depends on what you’re doing or your goals. For bodybuilding/powerlifting, be sure to get plenty of protein. Fish oil is great, and you can try flax seed oil. Creatine is excellent for most athletic endeavers, especially lifting. Think about including aminos and other similar substances such as glutamine, argenine, etc.. Finally, I like a supplement called ZMA (stands for Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate) that’s naturally produced by the body and in higher levels have been shown to increase testosterone levels.

Remember that some of these supplements work best if you cycle them (go off of them for a period of time then come back to them).

Of course, be sure to get plenty of rest.

Good luck!

I’m taking a class that needs me to volunteer 15 hours at a daycare or a school. I’m suppose to teach the kids about health, safety and nutrition. How can I do that and make it fun for the kids.

Any teachers out there that can give me advise on how to do this?

nutrition- you can bring in play food that has to do with the pyramid (i would also bring in a cut-out pyramid) help them match where the food goes on the pyramid. explain that you need certain amounts of this food per day in order for your body to grow big and strong.

safety- with younger ones; i do units on street lights, wearing a helmet as well as not talking to strangers.

health- bring in a doll or something explaining main body parts and tell them by playing outstide, doing sports and being active helps your body live longer and stronger. then play a game with them (even an easy one like duck, duck, goose!)

I rock climb competitively and made it to the national competition, which is gonna be during the weekend of Valentine’s Day. I have my training and conditioning plans worked out but I have no idea what kinds of food I should eat in order to better my body and health for the next month. I want to better my endurance and strength, if that helps. I’m hoping for some more professional answers….don’t just tell me to drink more milk or "eat well". Thanks!

Hi Kashaa,

Although its not a diet, here are some basic principals that I think everyone should follow to stay in better shape:

-Eat 4-6 smaller meals spread out over the day (rather than 3 big meals)
-Eat some form of lean protein (eggs, fish, beef, chicken etc.) with each meal.
-Eat some kind of green vegetable with each meal (this can be peppers in your omelet, a salad with lunch, broccoli with dinner etc..)
-Try to consume less carbs from white breads, and pasta, and more from things like beans, and oatmeal.
-Only consume drinks with 0 calories. (Tea, Black Coffee, WATER,) A diet soda a day or so is not terrible, but obviously not the best choice.)
-Try to cut the junk to a minimum. A couple of cheats per week can help you stay on track if you can keep them under control.

Hope that helps!

Good Luck with your comp!

Is it fine to take CLA, BCAA plus, Creatine, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Omega 3, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and whey protein together?

Protein DOES make you bigger and a good protein supplement is important unless you can sit down and eat 6 or 7 healthy hi-protein meals a day!
Other than that I would say a good hi-potency multi vit and mineral supplement and maybe creatine.
From the pure building of muscle point of view I would forget all the rest and spend your money on good nutritious food.
I’ve tried everything and can honestly tell you that muscle is built from good diet and training.
I hit 20+ stone without all the ‘mega supplements’ you are bombarded with in the mags.

I have been eating eggs, bread, milk and butter in breakfast.. today i didnt have the chance to cook the eggs… so is this bad for my muscles? i tried to substitute it with fruit juice, as i did not have any time at all..
Then i take beef/chicken in lunch with wheat containing foods.. after this lunch i go for snacks (sorta fatty foods) but my goal is to gain muscle mass. then some more snacks in the evening, followed by after workout snacks and then dinner.
So, not eating any eggs would be bad?

Its not like that. Try to take more and more protein foods. Only Protein foods can help you gain muscle mass. Some of good protein foods are Egg, Milk, Whey, Almonds & Peanuts, Cheese and much more. Body building is not a one day game. Nothing will happen in a day even if you remain empty belly. So dont be serious abt one day food. Keep patient and go ahead.Wish you good luck.

Why do I get so many craps in my feet and legs. I am not a athlete or anything.

Try drinking more water this may help.
