Review: Nutrition for Dancers by Rachel Fine
This weekend, I did another short course by Dance Masterclass - Nutrition for Dancers by Rachel Fine and I would give it a 4/10.
The course was beautifully filmed, but unfortunately I don’t think there was enough substance to the content. It was the kind of common knowledge anyone with even the slightest interest in training, working out or basic wellness would have. I learnt nothing new.
I was expecting all the juice to be in the workbook again like the training workshop I did the other day, but this workbook was basically just 73 pages of photos displayed alongside the video script.
I was expecting the content to be focussed on meal planning, but it wasn’t.
The handful of meals that were shown also required obscure, expensive or hard to prepare/eat on the run ingredients. Completely impractical for anyone not living inside a rustic french-looking homestead.
I found these two videos on Youtube to be infinitely more helpful:
[Don’t watch these if you think you might be negatively triggered. Both athletes approach their nutrition with the objective of eating as much as possible to fuel their bodies for the work they do, eating from all the food groups and maintaining their own personal optimum size. They have significantly different needs compared to the average individual. Love yourself, prioritise your health and wellbeing, follow the advice of a medical professional and do what’s right for you.]
On a different note:
If you are struggling to stop youtube/netflix binging, see if you can just use that time to watch something more constructive – like course content. Online courses can be a great way of re-purposing binge time into something healthy and productive.
