Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone In Workout Gear Says “These LA Summers”

Hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is dealing with the seasonal ‘May gray’ in Los Angeles by donning her favorite warm workout gear. McLaughlin-Levrone, 24, shared pictures of herself wearing sneakers, white pants, and a warm sweatshirt, posing by a sunny window. “These LA summers got me like 🌬️❄️,” she captioned the post. “LA Polar bear,” a fan commented. McLaughlin-Levrone is preparing for the Olympics In Paris—here’s what her training routine looks like.

1. Daily Routine

McLaughlin-Levrone trains and works out for hours every day. "I'll wake up around 7:00 a.m., head to practice at about 9:30 a.m., practice for two hours, pick up some food, then head to weights where I lift for around an hour to an hour and a half," she told PEOPLE. "Then I go to get some treatment which could be anywhere from an hour to two hours, find some dinner and then just rest and recover until I do it all again the next day."

2. Ice Baths

McLaughlin-Levrone swears by ice baths for rest and recovery. “I know a lot of people hate the cold and sitting in ice for 10 minutes does not sound appealing to anybody, but I love an ice bath,” she told Marie Claire. “After three minutes everything goes numb, so you’re golden for the next seven. It's so good for the body and inflammation. I’m more alert and more awake after.”

3. Stay In Your Lane

McLaughlin-Levrone has good advice for young athletes. "I would just say focus on your lane. Literally and figuratively," she told PEOPLE. "Other people are going to peak at different times. And I think even to this day in my pro career, people will run fast at different times and it can throw you off if you're not focused on what's ahead of you."

4. Wellness Advice

McLaughlin-Levrone says she would tell her younger self that wellness is about the journey, not the destination. “It's always changing,” she told Marie Claire. “You're always growing and finding new things that either work for you or don't work for you. Wellness isn’t so much a goal that can be completely attained, but rather something to always continue to strive towards. I was always thinking that once I got to a certain point, then I would be good. But, it's a never ending growth cycle.”

5. Rest and Relaxation

McLaughlin-Levrone’s perfect day is all about rest and relaxation. “I would probably wake up and start with a cold glass of lemon water to help my body reset and detox. Then I would probably go get a facial—the whole thing,” she told Marie Claire. “Hydration, relaxation, extractions, all the good stuff. I love getting my nails done. That, to me as an athlete, is really taking care of myself. My toes and my fingernails can get really dirty, especially working out all the time. Then I would go to the beach. I would read and soak in the sun, while getting some vitamin D. Then I would come home, relax with my husband, and get some good food in me.”

1. She Works Out Her Legs

Berelc posts a lot of workout videos on Instagram. She revealed in this post that she doesn’t skip leg day. In it, she is seen doing different squats, like lunges. She captioned the post, “Who’s your workout buddy?” “Squatting is one of the best resistance workouts you can do. This exercise works almost all of the muscles in the lower body and is a great way to build leg strength. This is a must-have in your program if you decide to begin resistance training. While squatting, be sure to keep you feet flat and push up through your heels. Keep your back flat and your torso upright and look straight ahead,” says Duke.

2. She Hikes

Berelc loves to go hiking. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself hiking in Joshua Tree with her boyfriend. She captioned the post, “Took my baby to Joshua Tree to watch the meteor shower.” “Being in nature can boost your mood and improve mental health. Spending quality time in the great outdoors reduces stress, calms anxiety, and can lead to a lower risk of depression, according to a study done by researchers at Stanford University. In addition to having mental health benefits, being outdoors opens up your senses to your surroundings and improves your sensory perception. Taking in the sights, smells, and feelings of nature has so many health benefits it can even be prescribed by a doctor,” says the National Park Service.

3. She Strength Trains

Berelc does a lot of workouts at New York City’s Phantom. One type of workout she likes to do there is strength training. In this reel, she is seen using a weighted ball and battle ropes. Berelc is seen using the ball to do crunches and is throwing it on the ground.

4. She Does Gymnastics

Berelc is a gymnast, and she still makes time to practice gymnastics in her daily life. She posts a lot of tumbling videos on Instagram. Berelc posted this video of herself flipping in the gym. She captioned the post, “How many of you can do a flip?”

5. She Works Out Her Abs

Berelc makes sure to workout her abs and her core. One type of workout that she does a lot of is crunches. She posted this video on Instagram of herself doing different crunches and leg drops. Regarding your core: “No matter where motion starts, it ripples upward and downward to adjoining links of the chain. Thus, weak or inflexible core muscles can impair how well your arms and legs function. And that saps power from many of the moves you make. Properly building up your core cranks up the power. A strong core also enhances balance and stability. Thus, it can help prevent falls and injuries during sports or other activities. In fact, a strong, flexible core underpins almost everything you do,” says Harvard Health.
