Vonn shared some of her biggest health and wellness tips to Health.com. She says that her biggest tip is finding a routine, and sticking with it as much as you can. “Eat what your body wants, and try to be as active as you can. Get into a routine, and the more you can stick to that routine, the easier it’ll be to stay fit and healthy.”
Another of Vonn’s biggest workout tips she gave to Health.com is making sure to have a great workout playlist. In fact, she even shared her favorite playlist on Spotify, so others can use it when they are working out. Music can be a great way to keep yourself motivated and interested in exercising.
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.”
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.
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.
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! ❤️🙏🏻💪🏻.”
