Think about the athletes you saw at the Olympics. How do they take care of their health? What are some things you do or eat that they would not?

The athletes at the Olympics have different techniques to stay healthy and in shape. Most runners get massaged hourly to keep their muscles from getting tense. I also know that swimmers in particular sit in hot tubs while waiting. This is to keep warm and the hot tub has the same massaging effect.

Michael Phelps eats chicken nuggets from McDonald's (even though he endorses Subway) while Usain Bolt eats home cooked Jamaican meals and natural drinks (even though he endorses Gatorade). Yohan Blake eats 16 bananas in 24 hour periods. This is to replenish the thousands of calories burned during training, practice, and the main event: the Olympics.

I am quite lazy and on weekends prefer to watch television than to do something physical. I'd much rather be on the internet. I could eat ice cream and Papa John's pizza every day. I think that if athletes ate the way I wanted to, then our athletes would be 400 more pounds.

Yeah I agree with you Kianna, you wouldn't be a great athlete at the olympics.
