BMX – What to get:

How to use – Day of the Event/Practice Session:

EnduraShake

  • A light, but SUSTAINING liquid race meal – Perfect for high intensity, high heart-rate and anaerobic racing – especially good for those kids/athletes who struggle to eat, then compete.
  • It also eliminates any ill-timed drops in blood sugar during a day of heats.

Use EnduraShake 4 ways:

  1. Nutrition/Carbo-loader: 1-3 days before (depending on the intensity of the event, how many heats over the day; if the kid/athlete is lean/low on natural reserves etc). 1 scoop of EnduraShake in 200mls water at 10h00, 15h00 and before bed.
  2. In the morning of the event: Take 1-2 scoops of EnduraShake in 200ml-400ml water as your breakfast – No need to eat anything else for several hours. Perfect if you struggle to eat because of nervous tension! You WON’T feel full. (Take 1 scoop if you’re very tiny).
  3. Over the day: Light sustaining meal. You can take 1 scoop of EnduraShake in 200mls water, several times over the day – whenever you feel hungry. Smaller athletes are better with 1 scoop in 200ml water, more often throughout the day – others bigger athletes often prefer 2 scoops less often and be done with it.
  4. Recovery food: 1-2 scoops of EnduraShake afterwards to maximise fast recovery, especially if you’re competing again the next day. In addition, if you are very tired, take another 1 scoop of EnduraShake  before you go to sleep. (It won’t keep you awake, but it will help feed and recover exhausted muscles while sleeping).
    And/or you can add a teaspoon of Glutamine to a glass of water: Take immediately afterwards and again before bed, if needed.

In the water-bottles: EnduraPower or Kids Kwench…for correct, healthy, safe hydration:

  • A blend of Low GI carbohydrates for stable blood sugar, thus helping with focus and concentration.
  • Balanced electrolytes to prevent dehydration and muscle cramping (contains Kalahari Salt and magnesium glycinate).
  • No colourants and NO artificial sweeteners!

For Teenagers: EnduraPower BERRY or LEMON (no caffeine in these)
For kiddies: from age 4 upwards: Kids’ Kwench
For Adults: ANY flavour of EnduraPower

How to use EnduraPower and Kids’ Kwench for kiddies

  • Follow the instructions on the label in terms of the number of scoops per water per litre.
  • Sip on them before and after each heat. This ensures that they are fully hydrated and fueled for each event. EnduraPower and Kids’ Kwench will ensure that blood sugar levels remain stable throughout.

GT Gel: Designed in Africa for African heat.

  • Electrolytes for preventing cramps and preventing dehydration
  • Sustaining blend of carbs for stable blood sugar = great focus and concentration
  • Convenient to carry and use. Swig and chase with some water!

Use GT Gel as follows:

  • GT Gel may be used IN PLACE OF of the EnduraPower.
  • Pour GT Gel into the little pocket bottle and sip intermittently throughout the day. Follow with a few mouthfuls of water. (Drinking water with the gel ensures easy and rapid absorption of the gel).

Note: Both EnduraPower and GT Gel have significant levels of sodium to prevent hyponatraemia. (Water intoxication/over-hydration).

Joobies OR Jooblets: (Same thing, different sizes. One Joobie = 5-6 Jooblets)

  • An electrolyte chewy designed to give you a powerful energy boost – PERFECT for FAST and furious (short) events!
  • One Joobie gives a wonderful boost before the semifinals. Simply eat about 4-5 minutes before.  (But don’t use Joobies/Jooblets on their own: Remember to drink EnduraPower throughout the day and to use EnduraShake as your food. In this way, there will you will eliminate any ill-timed drops in blood sugar during a day of heats

Use Joobies (or Jooblets) as follows: 

A few minutes (~4-5 minutes) before your heat/final: Eat a Joobie (or 5-6 Jooblets) for an energy boost with electrolytes!

A craving for solid food on the day?  Souties! A savoury protein and potato biscuit, with MCT oil  for added energy and focus!
Souties are salty….so have a sip of water before munching on this dry, but savoury, salty snack. Pure food. No preservatives. MCT’s for energy! Vegan protein (They taste like chips!).

Use Souties as follows:

  • Anytime! Nice to eat over the day between heats. Real food. Take a sip of water first.
  • When you’re craving a salty, savoury snack, especially after all the sweet stuff!
  • When you need a balanced mini-meal – protein, carb and fat.
  • If you’re cramping. Contains both Kalahari and Himalayan Salt.

Twin packs of Souties with a variety of flavours: PLAIN, Mixed Herbs, Basil-Pesto, Thyme, Umama, Tomato+Black Pepper; and Original. Nothing sweet about them!
