Olympic Weightlifter Katherine Vibert in Workout Gear Has "Unreal Day"

Katherine Vibert is taking a hike in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Olympic weightlifter flaunts her amazing figure in an exercise set and swimsuit, while exploring a waterfall with her husband. "Unreal day with my lover," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Katie told her fitness story to The Barbell Spin. "I began lifting in CrossFit about 3 years ago. I decided to switch over to weightlifting full time 2 years ago! I actually made the switch because I got bronze at 2016 Youth Nationals without much commitment, and I knew I could do some great things if I dedicated myself to weightlifting," she said. "I train 1.5-3 hours a day depending on the volume and intensity of the workout."

Katie has a history of athleticism. "Before weightlifting, I did competitive gymnastics for 11 years before I quit when I was 15 years old. I got into CrossFit a few months after to stay in shape!" she says. According to Pinnacle Gymnastics, there are physical and mental benefits of gymnastics. Physical benefits include flexibility, balance, and muscular strength. "These skills improve bone health and delay the development of high blood pressure," they say.

Katie is a fan of meal delivery services, because "they provide me with healthy, fresh meals that I eat 10 times a week," she says. "They include lean protein, a healthy source of carbs, and a big serving of veggies! Since I've moved up, I haven't been counting calories or macros, but generally eat healthy."

Katie does a lot of core work. "Since I was a gymnast, I know every ab exercise ever made," she says. Her favorite ab exercise? The dead bug, because it works the full core and stabilization at the same time. "They're kind of fun and not very intense, which is good for me," she told PS.

Katie eats intuitively. "I don't track anything. I eat what I need as an athlete," she says. She aims for six to eight ounces of protein in every meal, usually ground beef, chicken thighs, and sausage. "I eat protein that has more fat in it, since I'm not cutting weight," she says. She also has two cups of carbs as well as veggies. Well, "We try to do veggies. We need to work on that!" As for healthy fats, she enjoys guacamole. In general, she tries to keep her diet "as whole as possible."
