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.”
