## Resource

Wanting to change your body composition as an athlete is common. Knowing how to do it without tanking your performance is a different story. Krissy, Kelly, and Kelsey get into what body recomposition means for performance, why being your leanest is almost never the same as performing your best, and why the slower and less dramatic the process is, the better. They cover how to periodize your nutrition around your training season, what a realistic body recomp timeline actually looks like, why performance does not improve infinitely as body fat decreases, and why the athlete you are comparing yourself to on social media has probably been training for ten-plus years to look that way. This one is specifically for people who train for a purpose. If your primary goal is performance, this conversation will change how you think about the relationship between your body and your sport.
