“That’s Hard”: Lindsey Vonn Receives Encouraging Words From Fans as She Flaunts Intense Skiing Workout Even After Retirement

For Alpine skiers, maintaining balance is probably the most crucial to ensure they don’t end up in a hospital bed. And yet, after the end of their professional career, hitting the gym is probably at the bottom of their list of priorities. However, the iconic Lindsey Vonn is built differently, and she once again highlighted exactly why she is revered as one of the greatest skiers of all time.

While Vonn is spending her retired life in Miami, soaking up the sun, she also has a lot of things to keep her busy throughout the day. As the Chair of Athete Experience, Vonn is currently advocating heavily for the NHL to make its debut in the state. Amidst all her newfound responsibilities, Vonn still finds time to stay in shape and fans can’t believe the routine of the Olympic gold medalist.

Lindsey Vonn appears to have things under control

In her recent post on Instagram, Vonn shared behind-the-scenes snippets of her incredible training routine that can put even young athletes to shame. Seen balancing like a pro on a piece of circular apparatus with a footboard above it, Vonn reiterates her life’s philosophy in her post. “Life is a balancing act“, wrote the two-time World Championships gold winner, mentioning that such moments help to develop skiing skills as well.

If her balancing act wasn’t impressive enough, Vonn can be seen training with weights as she finds her inner center on the intimidating equipment. Her training regimen shows exactly why (and how) Vonn stayed on her feet during those thrilling downhill skiing moments. After her post went online, Vonn’s fans came in flocks to express their disbelief about how can an athlete maintain such a pique mindset years after hanging up their boots.

Fans having a hard time believing their eyes

One fan confirmed the workout looked intense without hesitating to mention that they’d take a hard facefirst tumble if they tried to do that themselves. “I know thats hard“, commented the fan under Vonn’s post. Another fan thinks such a routine can signify only one thing, and wrote, “U makin a comeback“. Yet another fan looked fascinated about Vonn’s equipment.

The fan wrote, “I need to get one of those for my leg workouts.” Vonn’s post also prompted fan Corie to think that a similar product would be helpful for their training as well. “I need to get one of those for my leg workouts,” commented Corie. Connor had to agree, Vonn looked like “…an absolute machine“. With her fans still in awe of her skills, it waits to be if Vonn’s new goals are realized with equal poise.
