After a disappointing meet in Eugene, Oregon, Molly explained that she used the experience to learn from her mistakes.

After Eugene, me and my coach we sat down and went through everything what went wrong what we could change,” she told BBC. "I think just changing my mindset and really focussing on things and then coming here and performing in front of this crowd.”
2. She Snorkels
While vacationing, Molly achieves her fitness goals by snorkeling. “Sun and snorkel diaries,” she captioned a post.

- Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
4. She Does Pilates
Molly is a fan of Pilates. In a video, she shows off her Pilates moves on a reformer. Why is pilates a good workout?

It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
5. She Runs
Molly spends a lot of time running, as speed is crucial for pole vaulting. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.
