Fitness Pyramid

Nutrition is the foundation of the pyramid. The quality and constituent elements of an athlete’s diet influence metabolism and therefore the molecular foundations of muscle, bone, and the nervous system. 

The second level of the pyramid relates to cardiovascular sufficiency. Without effective metabolic conditioning, an athlete will fatigue prematurely. As a result, the athlete’s strength and coordination will not reach their full potential, and further development can become blunted. 

Moving up the pyramid, the third level — gymnastics — focuses on an athlete’s spatial awareness and body control. 

The fourth level considers the control of external objects — e.g., weightlifting and throwing. 

With this foundation developed, the athlete can then safely and easily focus general physical preparedness on the specialized tasks required of specific sports. 

Does the word "diet" immediately make you think of an unpleasant weight-loss regimen?

If it did, you are probably not alone. 

Diet can also refer to the food and drink a person consumes daily and the mental and physical circumstances connected to eating. 

Nutrition involves more than simply eating a “good” diet—it is about nourishment on every level. It involves relationships with family, friends, nature (the environment), our bodies, our community, and the world.

 Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar!

Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
