5 Workouts That Olympian Lindsey Vonn Swears By
Lindsey Vonn is one of the best winter Olympic athletes out there. Even though she’s retired from competitive skiing, she’s still in amazing shape. Lindsey shares a lot of her go-to workouts on Instagram, YouTube, and in interviews. Here are 5 of her go-to moves that keep her looking amazing.
She Does Burpees
Lindsey posted this video on her YouTube channel detailing some of her favorite workouts. One thing she is seen doing is burpees. According to The Cleveland Clinic, burpees are an extremely effective exercise. “Movements within the exercise mesh resistance training with explosive muscle action. A burpee targets your arms, chest and shoulders. It’ll work your abs and tax your leg muscles, hips and gluteus maximus, too.”
She Does HIIT
Lindsey talked about her post-skiing workouts in an interview with Bustle. “I mainly love to do HIIT workouts about four days a week,” she says. “I’ve got my Tempo at home and I just do whatever I have time for. I like to cram as much as I can into a short period of time, so HIIT’s the best way to do that for me.”
She Works Out In The Morning
Lindsey loves getting her workouts done first thing each day. “I like to work out first thing in the morning,” she tells Bustle. “It stimulates me for the rest of the day. If I wait till the end of the day, I’m usually tired from working, so it’s harder for me to motivate myself to get it done. The more I can work out in the morning, the better.”
She Does Lunges
Lindsey is also seen doing lunge exercises in her YouTube video. According to The Mayo Clinic, this exercise has a lot of benefits. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”
She Works Her Abs
Lindsey has amazing abs, and she shared some of her favorite core workouts in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “Here’s my workout from today, it’s an upper/core circuit…maybe you’ll like it? 🤷🏼♀️ Have a great Monday! 💪🏻
