Vonn likes to work out in the mornings. This means that she eats a light meal before training, as she doesn’t want to be weight down, but still wants to have some energy. “I try not to eat too much in the morning before I work out,” she told Women’s Health. “I’m not working out crazy hard, but I notice I feel better; not as weighed down.”

4. She Works Out With Purpose

Vonn and her trainer, Alex Hunt, have the skier’s fitness routine down to a science. Bunt says that he has calculated the perfect routine for her to do, which will give her the best results. “Our approach is extremely goal-oriented, goal-driven, data-driven and all based on science,” Bunt told Women’s Health. “Everything we do is purposeful, we have a plan for everything and every situation.

5. She Takes Resistance Bands With Her

One of Vonn’s favorite pieces of gym equipment is resistance bands. She says that she takes them with her when she’s on vacation, that way she can still workout, no matter where she is. “Sometimes I’ll be in some remote place in Europe, where they don’t even have televisions let alone a gym, so it’s good to keep [the bands] with me all the time, just in case I get into a bind,” Vonn told Shape.

6. She Just Had Knee Surgery

Vonn deserves the spa time. She's just out of the hospital. “Surgery yesterday went well…. Been having a hard time with the pain in my knee. You may have noticed I haven’t been posting many workout videos lately… that’s why,” she posted this week. “Dr Hackett did a great job and removed a lot of bone spurs and scar tissue. Hopefully now I can straighten my leg fully! This is my last step before getting a knee replacement… hoping this will hold me over for a year or two until I get the big surgery. Ahhh the price we pay to do what we love. Still worth it though. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. Means a lot. See you on the mat and the slopes soon! ❤️🙏🏻💪🏻.”

Model Nicole Neumann is used to posing for the cameras, including her own. She’s currently on vacation, and just posted a set of videos and photos of her vacation.

Read on to see 5 ways Nicole Neumann stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Does Lunges

Neumann makes sure not to skip leg day. She likes to do lower body workouts, like lunges. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing lunges with weights. She captioned the video, “Arrives and trains.” "If you can't lower your knee to a 90-degree angle, simply go as low as you can. Do as many repetitions as you can, depending on your fitness level. Stop when you're fatigued or your form begins to suffer," says the Mayo Clinic. "For a variety, try a traveling lunge. Simply step ahead with the opposite foot rather than return to the starting position."

2. She Uses Vegan Products

Neumann is an environmentalist, especially when it comes to her skin. She even uses vegan skincare products. She posted about it on Instagram, writing, “Always my Vegan CATARAIN LIVING MIST! My special ally for the care of my skin, along with LINFAL WATER for the cleaning of it!”

3. She Snowboards

Neumann is an avid snowboarder. She posts a lot of photos and videos on Instagram of herself on the slopes. She posted this video of herself snowboarding. She captioned the post, “Day 1 coming in hot!” "Skiing and snowboarding are thrilling activities and great workouts. Both sports are excellent cardiovascular exercises that strengthen the heart. Because they are also weight-bearing exercises, they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles," says UMC Rochester. "Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, and lower blood pressure. They also help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer."

4. She Swims

Neumann is an avid swimmer. She posts a lot of photos of herself on the beach and in the water. She shared this set of photos of herself wading in the ocean. She captioned it, “I see you.”

5. She Paddleboards

Neumann doesn’t just like to swim in the ocean. She also likes to go paddleboarding. She posted this set of photos of herself paddleboarding on Instagram. She captioned it, “Dreamy sunset.”

Lindsay Vonn, the legendary former pro skier, is not only known for her incredible achievements on the slopes but also for her dedication to fitness and self-care. In a recent social media post, Vonn wowed fans in a two-piece workout set while sharing her intense leg-burning routine. Despite her busy schedule, she stays consistent in the gym, using exercise as both a physical outlet and a mental escape. From maintaining her authenticity to empowering young girls through her foundation, here's a closer look at how Vonn balances fitness, self-care, and giving back.

1. She True to Herself

Vonn stays true to her authentic self and doesn’t pretend to be something she’s not.

"I was always just myself,” she told Women’s Health. “You can be strong and feminine and opinionated and wear makeup and do all those things at the same time. You don't have to be the stereotypical athlete. You can be different," she stated in the interview. "There's no limit to what opportunities are out there [for you], you just have to go get them."

2. She Has Healthy Outlets

Life can get overwhelming for anyone, including star athletes, but the former pro skier turns to healthy outlets to cope with challenging moments. In a recent Instagram post, Vonn shared a video of her in the gym doing a variety of workouts including weight lifting, TRX, hanging abs and more. She wrote in the post, “Been putting the time in the gym… It’s how I clear my mind and keep my sanity… when life gets hard, I workout harder.”

Hitting the gym is a great stress reducer and helps improve your overall mood.

“Exercise can provide stress relief for your body while imitating effects of stress, such as the flight or fight response, and helping your body and its systems practice working together through those effects,” according to the Mayo Clinic. “This can also lead to positive effects in your body — including your cardiovascular, digestive and immune systems — by helping protect your body from harmful effects of stress.”

3. She is Consistent in the Gym

It’s easy to stop going to the gym with a busy schedule, which recently happened to Vonn, but she’s back at it now. On August 5th, Vonn posted an Instagram video with the caption, “Back at it!! Feels so good to get back in the gym and into a routine again.”

Besides getting the best fitness results, staying consistent in the gym can help in other ways such as managing or preventing diseases like stroke, depression and anxiety, improves sleep, boosts mood, and can improve intimacy, per the Mayo Clinic.

4. Giving Back

Skiing has always been a major aspect of Vonn’s life and she takes time to help empower young girls in sports. Over the summer, she shared on Instagram, “Beyond sports, I love the work that I do through my foundation to empower the next generation of girls, and at the same time, I enjoy sitting on boards and working with the companies I advise to help drive a new frontier in sports and far beyond.”

5. Dog Lover

In several social media videos, Vonn is seen with her dogs and occasionally working out with them. Many of us love and cherish our pets like family, but there are also health benefits to owning a pet.

According to U.C. Davis, having a pet can improve mental health in the following ways:

-”Help reduce stress and anxiety

-Ease feelings of loneliness

-Provide unconditional love and support

-Create a calming presence

-Give a sense of purpose for pet parents”

Lindsey Vonn, the retired Olympic ski racer, recently spent a day at the beach. She also had some furry friends with her. Vonn posted an adorable new reel on Instagram of herself in a swimsuit in the ocean with her dogs. She captioned the post, “Every day with these guys is a blessing.” How does she stay so fit?

1. She Never Ate Meat Before A Race

When Vonn was competing, she had to be mindful of what she ate the night before. She revealed to Delish that she avoided meat the night before a race. “No steaks, no burgers. Your body is spending a lot of energy trying to digest it instead of using your energy to recover and rest and get ready for a race. I never ate meat the night before a race.” "If you don't like the idea of a whole day without meat, start with a couple of meatless dinners each week. Plan meals that feature your favorite entrees that are typically meatless, such as lasagna, soup or pasta salad. Or try substituting the following protein-rich foods for meat in your favorite recipes:

• Beans and legumes — great in casseroles and salads
• Vegetarian refried beans — a good substitute for meat in burritos and tacos
• Tofu — a perfect addition to stir-fry dishes," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Believes In Balance

Now that Vonn is no longer a professional athlete, her diet has changed. She says that she still eats healthy, but allows herself more indulgences. “I treat myself whenever I feel like I need to,” she tells Women’s Health. “Since I’m not competing anymore, I feel like I can let loose a little bit.”

3. She Eats Light In The Morning

Vonn likes to workout in the morning. In order to do this, she says that she tries not to eat a heavy breakfast. “I try not to eat too much in the morning before I work out,” she told Women’s Health. “I’m not working out crazy hard, but I notice I feel better; not as weighed down.”

4. She Uses A Plan

Vonn works with nutritionist, Phil Goglia, to plan her diet. She says that having a structured diet helps her eat healthy on a regular basis. “If left to my own devices, I’d probably have mac and cheese and pasta and cereal,” Vonn told Women’s Health. “I need everything to be laid out for me, otherwise I divert quickly.”

5. She Loves Beyond Meat

While Vonn is not a vegan or on a plant-based diet, she still likes plant-based products. She tells Women’s Health that she will occasionally incorporate Beyond products into her diet. “Sometimes I’ll do some Beyond Meat patties or Beyond Meat Sausage, if I want to have something good that’s not from our meal plan.”
