Routine Sneak Peaks and Life Updates

[@yumyumoryuck8675]

Growing up, the gymnasts I looked up to were "good girls" who got straight As, weren't allowed near boys, and were totally obedient to their coaches. It is so cool to see you, a 20 something, married to a very supportive husband, working in a partnership with your coach - going after your goals. It makes me so happy that little girls have athletes like you and Simone as role models.

[@YenellyT]

YumYumOrYuck this is so true! Growing up I loved watching gymnastics and I remember Olympian’s in training weren’t allowed to date or do anything else other than school and gymnastics. This is so cool to see a gymnast living a normal life as well!

[@morganalayna4247]

My thoughts exactly!! It’s also very common that people expect gymnasts/figure skaters to retire at 18. In so happy to see someone over 20 trying for the olympics!

[@yumyumoryuck8675]

@@morganalayna4247 Do you know about Oksana Chusovitina? She is 44 and will be going to her 8th Olympics this year!

[@morganalayna4247]

YumYumOrYuck oh my gosh no I didn’t!! That’s amazing!

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

thank you so much!! I love being able to motivate and set an example for the younger generation of gymnasts so this means a lot to me :)

[@larim3399]

If Jonas does the editing, the part with your split and the tape measure killed me 😂😂 so impressed with everything myk!! ♥️♥️

[@Appaddict01]

Lauren Massey Ok..That makes more sense. She doesn’t seem like an idubbbz fan.😂

[@emilykelleher6147]

This is more of what I like to see on youtube. Im so sick of so many of the "influencer" type people who don't actually do anything! I am so excited to follow your journey!!!!! KEEP UP THE HARD WORK!

Shawn Johnson is so annoying trying to sell anything that comes her way to her poor fans.

YES!!!! Well said Emily Kelleher!

[@kohei8061]

I love how supportive Jonas is! It really shows how strong a man is when he is able to support a strong woman! keep it up, MyKayla, I love your videos!

[@ameliesophie5072]

How she says "sorry" after not sticking a pass. I'm just sitting here thinking: you're doing great no need to be sorry! haha🤗

[@ivanrudnitski]

Personally if I'm not sticking passes in not saying "sorry"... I'm usually a little more "explicit" with my language

[@aballman4]

Yeah I think it’s a gymnast thing...

[@tashainjena]

I like the little laughs.

Omg same but i usualy say ill do it again until i did it 😊

I think it’s more of a sorry for psyching yourself out. But it does sound funny!

Your determination to come back to elite is so dang inspiring- I’m rooting for you girl!!! 👏🏻

[@robertoignacio4054]

I've been such a huge fan of the USA women's gymnastics powerhouse teams especially the last 6 teams. Mykayla has always been a favorite if mine, and I really pray and hope she makes the Olympic team in Tokyo, and that she achieves her dream of winning an Olympic medal. GO BIG MYKAYLA!

[@jandutton]

I'd love to see a video about how you felt being chosen as an alternate for the Olympics and get insight into what the alternates do during the Olympics. Do you train at the venue with the rest of the team? Do you warm up for each Olympic event? Great channel by the way. Very honest and open and you are working so so hard! Well done!

can you do a video on nutrition for gymnast with like what you should eat before and after competitions and practices and maybe a what I eat in a day and just simple stuff to inform us

[@ainelawlor5755]

Absolutely awesome girl ill be watching your journey back hear in Ireland 🇮🇪 keep going 👍 💪

[@kelliknight126]

Hey, did you know you should be eating simple sugars within 20 to 30 minutes of completing a workout while the muscle is like a sponge? Then you have at least a couple hours for protein synthesis, so can eat protein or a meal including protein. It's that timing of getting the glycogen restored by eating carbs right after a workout that helps your legs not feel dead the next day. So you should have some chocolate milk while you stretch :) source: competed internationally as a trampolinist, have an exercise science degree, wrote papers on this subject, and am a nutrition coach. Loved your video, keep em coming!

[@graciesgymnastics4947]

Can I ask you how chocolate milk helps? Cuz I like it but consider it a treat, but I'd like it if it was benifisial 😊

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

I will try that!!! thank you :)

[@kelliknight126]

@@graciesgymnastics4947 there are a ton of articles that show how it can help with glycogen replacement for better recovery. journals.lww.com/acsm-csmr/fulltext/2011/11000/Glycogen_Replenishment_with_Chocolate_Milk.16.aspx

[@lilcuty1492]

Some studies also show that having a mix of protein and carbs within 20-40 min is also really beneficial! If o remember correctly the glucose in carbs help transport the protein in the cells at a higher rate within that time frame since the glut transport protein is at a higher level in the bloodstream. I forget the exact science

[@kelliknight126]

@@lilcuty1492 from what I learned in school, ideally, less protein helps the body to digest the carbs faster thus speeding up glycogen storage. So that's why the 20 to 30 minutes is good for just carbs or mostly carbs, while we have 3 hours for protein synthesis.

[@1206gracie]

Yay I love that you’re starting KZbin!! You’re awesome girl 👏🏻💛

When I played volleyball and softball in high school Epsom salt baths were my best friend during season and crazy summer camps & still do salt baths now as a figure skater. I just found your channel tonight and I can't wait to see more content and hope to see you make Team USA for Tokyo 2020!!

I don't even like shopping for things I want for myself. lol.

[@molasorrosalom4846]

Its hard to explain as a guy, we sort of know what we want to get. So if I'm going to a mall, I go straight to the store I need to go to, grab what I need to get, and I'm done.

[@shayvecc7849]

I'm a huge fan! I was a gymnast and now I coach gymnastics. Epson salt baths are great, but giiiirl. You gotta clean up your diet! Diet is so important for fueling and recovery. I love Tom Brady's TB12 Method cookbook. I'll send it you if you have a PO Box.

[@jojox9791]

She is just fine with what she is eating. Restrictions arent really necessary when you're working out like this every day. She doesn't have a weight issue.... let her splurge!

[@shayvecc7849]

@@jojox9791 Hi! I am a certified nutritionist and trainer. I specialize in performance based nutrition. Nutrition for an elite athlete is not about a "weight issue." An elite athlete needs to fuel their bodies for work, like a race car needs gas. Also, intense exercise releases free radicals that destroy joints... joints that are already inflamed by an extreme training regimen. Free radicals and inflammation can be combated with proper nutrition. Sugars and dairy are known to further inflame the body, leading to more joint pain. So, yes. Most nutritionist, trainers, coaches, and athletes at higher levels would say that restrictions are necessary. Not to restrict caloric intake, but to properly sustain bodies for continued training, recover from daily workouts, and to maintain health and prevent injury. I was in no way referring to her body. And splurging is nice, but comes at a price, and is typically not encouraged while training for the Olympics.

[@JB11334]

I was thinking she needed more food. I’m surprised at how little she eats for how much she’s training. I was a trainer and her diet shocked me. I haven’t watched part 2 yet and was hoping to see her eating more.
