Lexi Thompson in Workout Gear is Ready to “Get 2024 Season Started”

Professional golfer Lexi Thompson is getting ready for the 2024 season by hitting the gym. Thompson, 28, shared a picture of herself wearing shorts and a talk top, using a cable machine. “Few more days before heading out to get the 2024 season started 👊🏼💪🏼,” she captioned the post. “You are a rock star in the gym Lexi,” a fan commented. Thompson is the youngest golfer to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open—here’s what her training and wellness regimen looks like.

1. Cardio and Strength Training

Thompson works out twice a day to stay competition-ready. “I’m not one to ever give my secrets away, however, the importance of weight training and cardio has been a major aspect of my life,” she told Modern Luxury Palm Beach. “I eat healthy all the time and include lots of protein. I try to make sure everything is balanced with my training regimen.”

2. Fitness First

Fitness is very important for Thompson, during both tournaments and the off season. “Weeks out on the LPGA Tour can sometimes be long and strenuous,” she told Athleisure Magazine. “I often arrive to a golf tournament on Monday of tournament week with two practice rounds prior to the first round of competition. When I’m at home, I work out twice in the gym daily. I always like to work out in the morning as I am an early riser and typically will do cardio later in the day… During my off-season you’ll most likely find me in the gym. Fitness is an extremely important part of my routine and has become an extremely important part of my overall life.”

3. Consistent Routine

Thompson has a consistent routine for tournaments. “My routine is extremely important to my success on the golf course,” she told Athleisure Magazine. “Prior to leaving for a tournament, I typically play multiple rounds of golf at my home course before leaving. I try to put the least amount of stress on my body during a tournament week, so I am prepared to go for round one and maintain my energy through the final round. By keeping a consistent routine, I am able to perform at the highest level consistently.”

4. Skincare Line

Thompson was inspired to create her beauty line Lexi Skin after spending years in the sun for golf. “Skincare has always been a passion of mine,” she told Athleisure Magazine. “Playing golf and outdoor sports my whole life, I have had a ton of sun exposure. I have really had to learn how to protect my skin and as I have become a little older, prevent it from premature aging. I was introduced to Dr. Arthur Swift and Dr. Stewart Davis, and together we have developed unique anti-aging skin care products that are highly effective and priced appropriately for active women like me.”

5. LPGA Founders Award

Thompson won the 2023 LPGA Founders Award and is dedicated to her fans. “I’m very focused on my golf game as well. But I love to give back and see the fans out there and interact with all volunteers. That’s how my mom raised me,” Thompson told Sarah Kellam. “I always just try to make somebody else’s day better or put a smile on their face over myself. Could be a blessing and a curse, but honestly, it makes me feel better about myself if I make somebody else happier. That’s what we’re all trying to do. We’re trying to grow the game and LPGA.”

She captioned them, “A look inside my solid practice session today…I average practicing about 3-5 hours a day but putting alone about 2 hours. Then on top of that 1-2 hours in the gym training. So if I’m not playing an event that is my everyday schedule, hardly ever any days off.”

2. She Weight Trains

Thompson shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do to stay in shape is weight training. She shared this set of gym videos on Instagram. In them, she is seen doing kettlebell squats, deadlifts, and pushing a weighted cart. She captioned the post, “Shooting while working out.”

3. She Works Out Her Arms

Thompson makes sure to workout her entire body. She also does a lot of arm workouts. She shared this set of videos on Instagram of herself doing two different arm exercises. In one, she is seen doing lateral pulldowns while in a lunge. In the other, she is seen stretching a band out while twisting her body. She captioned it, “Training.” Being a golfer, having a good upper body, especially arm strength, is important.

4. She Works Out Her Abs

Thompson has an amazing set of abs. Naturally, she does a lot of ab workouts. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing mountain climbers while balancing her arms on a half ball. She captioned it, “How my Fridays usually start.” She also posted these videos of herself doing different core exercises, captioning it, “50 min jog and some core work this morning before practice.”

5. She Does Squats

Thompson doesn’t skip leg day. One type of lower body workout she enjoys doing is squats. She shared these training videos on Instagram. In the first video, she is seen doing squats with a barbell. Thompson captioned the post, “Little look into a day of training and practice.”

Lexi Thompson, a professional golfer and recent Solheim Cup winner, is taking her passion for fitness to a new level with the launch of her fitness app. In August, Thompson shared the exciting news on Instagram, captioning, "The time is finally here! So excited to share the Lexi Fitness app with you 👊🏼." Beyond her golf career, Thompson stays fit by incorporating workouts like weight training, stationary biking, and lunges into her routine, and she's eager to help others achieve their fitness goals through her app.

1. She Golfs

Golf is the main way Thompson stays fit. She shared this post on Instagram of her experience at the Solheim Cup. Thompson captioned it, “So proud of this team! Such great golf played by both sides, this week is always a special week for womens golf and truly shows the talent and passion we all have! Thank YOU to the Solheim family for making this incredible event possible, the volunteers, and the FANS for the cheers out there and all making this possible . Some of my most memorable moments in my career are from the @thesolheimcup and I’m so grateful I was part of this team representing my country for my 7th time under my captain Stacey Lewis, a player I’ve always looked up to. Blessed to have the cup back in our hands! 🇺🇸❤️”

2. She Loves Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwiches

Thompson revealed in an interview with Golf Digest that she likes to eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches while playing golf, and explained why. “I noticed my hands were shaking during rounds, so I called Tiger and he asked what I eat on-course. He said to add these peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches on wheat bread. I eat half of one every three holes to keep my energy constant.”

3. She Uses A Stationary Bike

Thompson likes to use a stationary bike to stay fit. In this Instagram post, she is seen on her Peloton. Using a stationary bike has a lot of benefits. Penn State PRO Wellness states that the workout has a lot of benefits. “Depending on the intensity of your workout and your body weight, you can burn more than 600 calories an hour with a stationary bike workout. This makes indoor cycling an excellent workout option for burning calories quickly.”

4. She Uses Weights

Thompson shares a lot of her workouts on Instagram. She likes to use weights to stay in shape. Thompson shared these videos of herself using weights. She captioned them, “Make the most of today.” ACE Fitness reports that using weights has a lot of benefits. “Using maximal loads for compound (multi-joint) movements like the deadlift, squat-to-shoulder press, bent-over row or chest press can improve intermuscular coordination, which is the ability of many muscles to work together to generate and control high levels of force through multiple joints.”

5. She Does Lunges

Lunges are another workout that Thompson enjoys doing. In the previous Instagram post, she is seen doing side and front lunges. ACE Fitness reports that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “They’re a form of unilateral training, which means you’re working only one limb or side of the body at a time. And unilateral training is a more effective way to build functional strength (than using both legs) because these types of movement mimic other everyday motions, like walking and climbing stairs — and not just to the working leg. Research suggests the strength gains to the nonworking side are about half of the strength gains of the working side.”

Long distance runner Dakotah Lindwurm is in full training mode for Paris 2024. Lindwurm, 29, shared a picture of herself wearing black athletic pants and a white long-sleeved shirt, going for a run outside. “Back home and back to work. 📸: @ben_sathre who was also my personal crossing guard this morning 🙏,” she captioned the post. Lindwurm also had her trusty Puma Nitro shoes on for the run. Here’s what the athlete’s health and wellness regimen looks like.

1. Racing the Boys

Lindwurm is used to healthy competition. “I’ve always been somebody who runs fast,” she told The Lap Count. “When I joined the cross country and track team in high school, I was just somebody who just ran with the boys. My girl teammates would always skip out on runs and hide behind the school. So I just got in the habit of running with the guys and they just ran a little bit faster and made it a hard effort. I know that when you’re in a 130 mile week, that you’ve got to take at least your doubles as slow as possible – for me, that’s like 7:10 pace.”

2. Thrilled To Compete

Lindwurm is beyond excited to travel to Europe. “It's insane. It's almost something that's too big to wrap my head around," she told WESH. "I think I'm most excited to see the Eiffel Tower. It's just so iconic and I just have to imagine it's so beautiful. I am also just really excited to experience their food and their coffee. I've heard just incredible things about the coffee and I'm a big connoisseur.”

3. Hockey Background

Lindwurm’s athletic goals once veered in a different direction. “When I was in high school, I was still playing hockey and for sure had Olympic dreams there. But that obviously didn’t pan out,” she told The Lap Count. “But by no means did I think I was going to be an Olympian in running during high school. I ended up walking onto my Division II team because like, I wanted to keep running and I enjoy the community behind it. I was getting better through high school, but I knew that I wasn’t the best in the country or even close to the best in my state.”

4. Ready For Paris

Lindwurm is ready for Paris 2024. “Similar to Orlando, [Paris] leaves a lot of space for an underdog, somebody who isn’t necessarily the fastest to place well,” she told Runner’s World. “And I plan to prepare well. It seems so daunting to be on the starting line with these women who were running amazing times all the way back in high school and college,” Lindwurm said. “But there’s space for people who are willing to work really hard.”

5. Belief In Herself

Lindwurm has firm faith in herself and the future. “If you love something, I just can’t imagine thinking you couldn’t do it,” she told Runner’s World. “I have this thing in my heart that says, ‘I can be the best at this sport.’ I don’t know where that comes from, but I’m thankful for it.”

Lindsey Vonn is getting her sweat on – and flaunting her fit figure. In a new social media post the skier shows off her amazing body in a two-piece workout look while executing a workout at the gym. “Back on my @redbull grind and man, it feels good! Getting as strong as I can… think I might have a plan for the knee, but first I need to get,” she captioned the Instagram Reel. What exercises are helping her get strong and what other health habits does she practice? Here is everything you need to know.

1. Here Is Her Latest Workout

According to Kendra Gamble, HIT Fitness Training, Huntingdon Valley, PA, NPTI Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Consultant, Lindsey’s workout includes:

• Single leg hip thrust
• Standing abduction machine (can be done with a band)
• Lying hamstring curl
• Inverted row
• *Back extension
• *Side plank hip adduction
• TRX push up

2. She’s Training to Be “Lean and Fit” with Weight Training

Lindsey admits she has gotten "a lot leaner" after retiring from skiing. "I used to do things that were so sport specific, so I had to be bigger," she told New York Post's Alexa magazine. "But everyone is like, 'Oh my God, you're in the best shape of your life.' It's like — yes and no. I'm not training for my sport anymore, I am training to be lean and fit,” she said. She has dramatically decreased her body fat with the help of trainer Gunnar Peterson. "Different training. Different diet. Crazy!" Her workouts are no joke, and she trains three to four times a week. "Whatever you like doing is what you should be doing," she told Women’s Health. Her workouts are a combo of strength and weight training, using a lot of weighted balls, battle ropes, lifts, squats.

3. She Also Does Two Cardio Workouts a Week

Lindsey supplements her weight and strength training with two cardio workouts a week, but you won’t find her running on the treadmill. "I have a doctor's note that says I should never run again in my life, and I'm okay with that," she says. Instead she cycles or surfs.

4. She Also Walks After Dinner

"I have to go outside and walk the glucose off with my dog," Lindsey says about her post-dinner strolls. According to science, you should too. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

5. Her Diet Is “Clean”

Lindsey no longer follows her “ski season” diet of “a lot of protein and carbs,” she told People. Phil Goglia revamped her diet when she retired, and it now involves a lot of water, eating clean food, and timing her meals. “I try not to eat too much in the morning before I work out,” she told Women’s Health. Post-workout Lindsey eats “egg white omelets with broccoli, chicken, and pepper, and stuff like that.” For lunch, she might have chicken or salmon with kale or cabbage. For dinner, her plate is filled with a mix of protein and veggies – like chicken salad with avocado or a zucchini pasta with bolognese meat sauce. Almonds, kiwis, and blueberries are go-to snacks. Overall she tries to eat a lot of plant-based foods. “Listen, the kitchen can be intimidating to anyone. But I’m here to tell you: You can do it. And with the new year, let’s do it better, together. I’ve got 14 places to help you start eating more plant-based foods,” she captioned a recent post, suggesting the Just Egg cookbook to her followers.
