Day in the life of a professional gymnast | Nile Wilson | Road to Rio | Ep 1

[@michellebloch8970]

I’ve watched a lot of your newer videos and just wanted to say that I enjoyed this one. I really like how you did the breakdown of your training throughout the day!

[@ravercat4]

Watching this old one can how far you've come, more natural in your vlogging style.

[@biancamiller8407]

Love this series your voice is very nice to listen too and you did so well at these Olympics keep it up!

[@LachFlex]

Very, very cool man! So many things will be learned from this video - including many small little details that you may not even think about! Another idea is you could live-stream a training session. Might seem boring to you since you're very used to your training, though I'd be very interested (and I'm sure others would be too) to tune in and watch!

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

***** Cheers mate!.. Yeah Ive thought about doing this maybe streaming each individual apparatus so it wont be so long and boring aha.

[@elkeschwarz7433]

its your first vlog its amazing how much youve improved

[@viejitaaa]

Nile, I'd love to see an updated version of this video to see what your workouts look like when you're not competing gymnastics

[@sujones4361]

you are amazing and so committed to youre craft. i have nothing but admiration for you. x

[@itsmyaleonard9804]

Hi Nile, great video! Just watched you on High Bar at the Olympics congrats on 3rd place, I also to gym and support Team GB!! Mya xx

[@christopheiglmeier7517]

Great video. Already use some of your tips in my Gym trainining in Munich. thanks and keep going !

[@azeminaay4971]

Hey Nile, that one sided hand stand on the P bars is so inpressive😳🤯 recently discovered you and your channel and it has been a blast to watch, thank you for sharing😊

[@tessabelle6691]

Amazing video, I actually am doing a parkour camp at tempest in the US, I know you may not know about tempest, but I have been going for a while. Right now at camp, I have been working on standing backflips and learning back fulls. I am not very good, but I am improving! Your videos are amazing, and you are amazing, I hope sometime you could give some balancing tips for handstands, because that is next on my list. I also just started a fitness channel, because I can do a lot of strength training and working out. I also was wondering if you could do a flyaway tutorial, and tips on how to keep from getting rips and blisters on your hands! Thanks, and keep up the AMAZING work!! ❤️❤️👍🏻😀

[@willkruse8951]

I truly miss these videos!

[@juliejrgensen6256]

do you have any tips to get a good balance like in handstands and stuff?

[@theruggedscholar1544]

Thank you for making this video!

[@libbyclaytonxx4322]

Ur well good I can only just about do a back tuck! Your my inspiration.

[@nickcamjen]

Our family likes your videos, and how you share with others. Did you find the transition to senior, from juniors to be difficult. We think you made the transition better than most, competing in Worlds and even making event finals. Impressive.

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

***** Thank you for yours & your families support!... It was quite a difficult task however because I had to make the transition so quickly, there was no time to massively increase my difficulty. All the skills I was doing I had competed them for a long time so that maybe why I was so successful in 2014. Thanks again

[@nmccreight]

This is really cool, thanks for filming everything!

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Noah McCreight Thank you! Glad you liked it

[@nmccreight]

Nile Wilson Does your training look like this year round or is competition prep different from when you're far away from a meet?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Noah McCreight Its very different all year round.. I want to be able to showcase that in this series using a variety of training days.

[@jorismerckx]

Great video Nile, really gives us an insight into your training, and gives me ideas and help towards my training in cycling. Hope your well :)

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

thedudecalledpj Thank you! glad I can help. Best wishes

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

thedudecalledpj Thank you! glad I can help. Best wishes

[@jorismerckx]

No probs at all mate, Its great seeing how you do what you do (if that makes sense) hope your doing well and having a good weekend :) Great tattoo btw :) Thinking of getting any more?

[@Xtm.]

Very Cool ! We wait your next day ! We are in Parkour and breakdance we will use your tips ! Thanks

[@IFLMerkzz]

Nile its james from Lesley great video because some people say you only practice easy stuff but you do it all and well carry it into Rio 💪

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

IFL Snipezz Thank you James!

[@operapau]

Dude, love the way you share your experience in gymnastics. Thanks for that! Lemme make you a question: in this video you show that your conditioning/strength part takes about 1/3 to 1/2 of your whole session. Is that constant during the year and you just change the type of conditioning you do in that part of the training? Or the proportion with the total amount of training varies according to if you're away or close to competing? I tend to keep 1/3 of conditioning in my 3 hour session but the guys in the gym tend to refuse it when close to competitions. Do you have any hint? Thanks again and keep up the good work

[@PimpDaddy1508]

I'm not a gymnast (actually I'm competing in judo) but I've incorporated some of your stretches and your core exercises into my routine. The whole gymnastic stuff is quite interesting too, even tough I can only do the beginner's stuff. Would be great if you did a backflip for beginners Video - really wanna learn that :D

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

bstn20 Oh wow thats great to here & i'm glad my vids can help!... Yeah will defo do a 'how to backflip' vid!

[@ryryryanthegreat]

You are my inspiration! Would love to be as good as you! I wish I could be trained by someone like you or even you yourself! I really want to start gymnastics again. :(

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Ryan Barrett Thanks for the support mate! best wishes!

[@TysonE]

Great video Nile! What are some of your short-term goals? We know the long term goal is Rio so are you aiming to learn new skills leading up to Rio or are you focusing on consolidating what you know?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Tyson Edwards Thank you Tyson!.. Yeah consolidation is key at the moment, getting comfortable with my routines so I can compete them a number of times & get really comfortable doing them. My routines have been constructed to add upgrades so hopefully I can increase my difficulty along the way!.. Excited for the stronger series!

[@Jamie93]

Hey Nile, awesome video man. Loved seeing how you split your time between different aspects of training :) This might be an odd request but I wondered if you could give me some advice. I did competitive female gymnastics from the ages of 5 to 17 including artistic, acro and tumbling. I'm now 22 and getting back into training, however I'm transgender and have transitioned from female to male. I'm now on male hormones so building strength is a lot easier and I'm looking to start trying out some of the mens apparatus that I never had a chance to use growing up. Do you have any advise or tips for starting on the rings/pommel/p-bars? Thanks in advance!

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

JamieLuke93 Thank you!... I'd say just enjoy it as much as you can & be patient. It's difficult to give you any coaching tips without knowing much so hopefully my videos can do that! but yeah enjoy the new experience of being on different apparatus! best wishes

[@austintucker3080]

Hey man. I was wondering how you balance your strength conditioning along with your ring workout. I find that since I'm new to things like planches and crosses I have to be pretty fresh in order to do them. How do you manage to condition and then do rings the next day?

[@xxsgmkxx]

Great video ! Could you do a full video on your conditioning and strenght programme?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Sean Keane Thank you! Plan on including lots of strength & conditioning videos!

[@xxsgmkxx]

Nile Wilson great, looking forward to it ! Great gymnast to look up to for me !

[@fabianorodrigues9605]

Make it seems so easy !!!

[@theitalianguest4204]

Such a good accent mate! Where abouts?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Leeds!

[@theitalianguest4204]

Nile Wilson Yeah, I've started watching your videos yesterday and I checked like 6-7. Love them! So inspirational innit. Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹

[@johansenbispo281]

Great stuff!!! Noticed your Herbalife sweater and also that you included a protein bar has a Snack. How do you incorporate Herbalife nutrition in your day o day life and training ? And by the way where are you coming to train in Portugal?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Johansen Bispo Wanted to use these videos to showcase what & how I use supplements as well as my nutrition & training... stay tuned for more & we are training in Anadia.

[@StreetWorkoutCln]

Amazing stuff man! So you spend almost the day training? How many hours do you spend?

[@lewiswalker5554]

Hi Nile, Great idea for a series can I say! I agree with another comment I seen below that mentioned a live-stream session. That would be fantastic, however I do appreciate that would be a very big ask, so no worries if you cant do it. Also, how would I make the transition from a reigonal to national level gymnast. Baring in mind I am 15 and dont have long to achieve this, it really does seem like an impossible task for me! Thank you!

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Lewis Walker Thank you Lewis!... yeah I'm defo going to stream, will do maybe an apparatus at a time so its only 30mis ish instead of 3 hours long.... First thing to making the step is to scrap thinking its an impossible task!.. i'm unsure of what your required to do however id just say you need a big enough desire & be willing to do anything to get there! Train hard eat well

[@lewiswalker5554]

Nile Wilson Thanks Nile! 😀

[@LiiittlePeaches]

Did you ever eat in a calorie deficit to get your physic? Or did you just eat for performance?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Just eat for my performance!

[@karlahernandez7905]

Where do you shop for your food?

[@hannesperathoner4592]

whats the skill at 02:58 called? :)

[@renskirchner6309]

Hi, do you have a coach, do you need a coach and how do you find one. Can you just 'jump' in to gymnastics and get a coach, or do you first have to go to a sport club etc.? Hope you can answer those questions, trying to find this out for a while, but most people don't answer and also can't find it on the internet...

[@videoclip9023]

Rens Kirchner when you go to a gym for classes, you have a coach for your team. Usually you can take private lessons with your coach

[@javierl1298]

This is your day? Monday to friday or only weekends?

[@beau2271]

if you have hurt your self doing a skill how do u get over the fear of it and do it again.

[@sammyheartsGCA]

Hi Nile! Love your gymnastics style and so glad that have decided to create some content on KZbin. It's very interesting and love seeing an insight into your training. Huge fan of yours and it's great to see you improving in the last couple of years. If you could please follow me on Twitter (@sammyraynsford) huge fan of yours!

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

sammyheartsGCA Thank you very much for your support & will continue to put out youtube content.

[@jonathanluisier1610]

When are you doing your ice bath?and how many times a week?and nice job for all you are doing im a big fan.:)

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Jonathan Luisier I don't really tend to ice bath at home however when I away on squad camps I have 2-3 full body ice baths a week for 5-10mins. I feel it helps loads! Thank you for your support.

[@wsWeston]

remember me say hi to everyone for me from your good friend esau

[@darlinsilva4596]

[@kungfuman82]

I'm amazed you do three hours of training on such a low-calorie breakfast.

[@nikhitagondhia4492]

are you competing in the olympics in Rio?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Nikhita Gondhia There are 5 places up for grabs to go to Rio. There is around 20+ British Gymnasts who all want the same thing & have the capability. Its a tough selection process & probably wont find out the team until around 1 month before the games.

[@nikhitagondhia4492]

Nile Wilson how do they decide who gets to go and compete. Wish you all the best in your training and competitions.

[@TemuulTK]

wow gruelling training... I guess that is how you make an olympic athlete. His training centre is kind of lonely! would be nice go have friends to train with... Well done.

[@Fizniperal]

Great, I love your channel! You would probably enjoy a little bit more fat through the day, like olive oil or one slice of bread and peanut butter. Fat is essential for hormone production and regulations, you should aim for at least 1g/kg of bodyweight everyday.

[@abbiejabbie]

Have you ever broken a bone doing gymnastics?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Check out my most recent videos - I am currently dealing with snapped ligaments. I have also had stress fractures in my back!

[@abbiejabbie]

Nile Wilson ouch. Hope you have a smooth recovery!

[@blackjohnny0]

Every day same routine? How can you regenerate from that? Juice? Fuck, you working out a lot.

[@videoclip9023]

blackjohnny0 its the same. But not. You Will probably do a different warm-up every day and what you are working and focusing on can vary from day to day

[@jonatanferm1472]

He's been doing this for many years, your body adapts to some degree.
