Rally Driver Catie Munnings in Two-Piece Workout Gear is "Paragliding"

Catie Munnings, a professional rally driver and winner of the 2016 European Rally Championships for women, brings passion and determination to every race. Competing in Extreme E events, she also finds time to explore adventures off the track. In October, she shared a video on Instagram of herself paragliding at the GoPro Base Camp, showcasing her love for pushing limits and staying active.

1. She Stays Centered

Munnings shared how she stays centered in an interview with Brummel Magazine. “I always stay grateful for how much I’ve got and focus on that, even if others around me seem to have more. As for resilience – I have a really good support network, I rely on my family a lot. Maintaining a good, stable mindset is also important. Having a grounded place means you don’t take every decision that’s made around you personally. Because it is business at the end of the day.”

2. She Wants To Promote Female Races

Munnings tells Tempus Magazine that she wants the racing world to be more inclusive to women. “I think championships like Extreme E having a regulation that each team should have a male and a female, and a combined overall result for the team really increases the level that the females are racing at because it provides more opportunities and more incentives for teams to train and support females developing in Motorsport. We’ve seen the level of talent rise a lot from the first season until now. There was a bit of a gap between the males and females at the start of Season 1, and now we regularly have race winners that are females over the men which is awesome to see.”

3. She Supports The Environment

Munnings wants to support the environment. In the caption of this Instagram video, she talked about protecting coral reefs. “@carlosduartephd has a massive project to grow and replant the coral reef in the Red Sea at the university of KAUST, each year it has to adapt to higher temperatures. We visited shark reef to see them at work. 1 in 4 marine animal relies on the reef, and 1 billion people around the world depend on the reef for livelihood. Amazing to see the work the marine biologists are doing to protect it 🫶🏼🌍”

4. She Swims

Munnings likes to swim to keep herself in shape. In the previous Instagram link, Munnings is seen snorkeling. The Cleveland Clinic states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming isn’t just good exercise, it’s great exercise. That’s thanks to the water itself, which offers buoyancy and resistance that makes it easier on your whole body than other forms of exercise.”

5. She Hikes

Munnings also enjoys going for hikes to keep herself in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself on a mountain with her dog. Hiking has a lot of benefits. Harvard Health states that, “Like brisk walking, hiking is a good way to improve your cardiovascular fitness, particularly if your route includes some hills, which will force your heart to work harder. Taking a hike on the slightly uneven surface of a trail also provides a natural way to engage the core muscles in your torso and to hone your balance skills.”
