Lexi Thompson is a major fitness enthusiast who often shares her workouts online. Her fans on Instagram get inspired by her videos and usually have enthusiastic reactions to them. Her fitness game is usually spot-on. Multisport-performance coach Kolby Wayne once described her as “one of the fittest athletes” he has worked with.

But it looks like she isn’t the only LPGA Tour pro who can sweat it out real hard in front of a camera. A 31-year-old golfer from the tour has pushed herself quite far in her recent video that the LPGA Instagram handle had shared. But was it really the LPGA team who did that? There is more to it, actually.

LPGA’s social media team has come up with an unconventional idea to experiment a little recently. They have given access to their Instagram handle to Jenny Shin. The Seoul-born golfer will control the LPGA Tour handle through this week. 

As part of a week-long itinerary, she shared her workout routine a few hours ago. The 31-year-old looks ripped and in command of her body. She showed us glimpses of her upper body workout and some heavy lifting. 

Although her routine focused on her upper body, it had a good balance of core strength training as well. And she didn’t forget the legs, of course. From the looks of it, one could interpret that she knows what she is doing, and is doing it pretty well.

In other news, Shin also did an Insta-live with fellow golfer Gaby Lopez, and had a nice long chat with their fans. The questions ranged from films, golf, relationships and whatnot. Coming back to her workout video, her fans were plenty impressed by her core strength and her display of athleticism.

Jenny Shin, hold your stomach in though!

While the workout routine surely seemed quite exhausting, it didn’t really show on her face. She kind of just effortlessly went into it. Her fans totally saw how masterful she is and they didn’t hold back their admiration while commenting.

This commenter probably feels guilty about not working out as much and it shows. Also, yes, fitness can impact your game a lot. So, yeah, go, and sweat it out!  “I think I just realised where I’m going wrong with my golf now 😱😱😁”

Oh, yeah! Jenny Shin is currently in Vegas, and probably having a lot of fun. It couldn’t hurt her to share a moment with us too, right? “Have a few drinks and livestream from LV.”

This long comment is so valid and reiterates the message Shin is trying to send out. Core strength is important guys! “Core exercises are crucial. Whether you’re an athlete or a civilian, a strong core helps prevent other injuries. My back pain went away once I started doing planks.”

Wow! So nice to see people aspiring to imbibe her workout routine into their own. Shin is definitely doing something right. “Great gym work out Jenny. You are fit and I will share your routine with my personal trainer at my Gym. I golf too.👏”

This is kind of basic, and she probably knows that. But, we appreciate the fan’s thoughtfulness. “Hold your stomach in when doing weights it’s like a stomach exercise !”

Fewer words than most comments, but this one summed it up well!  “You a Beast girl !!!! 💪🔥😋😎👍” This fan didn’t even bother using the alphabet. They straight off expressed how speechless they are. Quite relatable actually. “😤💪👏👏👏👏.”
