Step-Ups

This exercise requires a bench, stair, block, or a chair because you will need something to step up onto. Stand on the object by straightening your right knee and lift your left leg until your hip and knee form 90-degree angles. Bend your right knee and lower your left foot. Repeat while alternating sides.

Spiderman Plank

The spiderman plank exercise starts in a high plank position as you stand on your hands and toes with your body forming a straight line. Bring one knee outside and around toward the same elbow, return to the starting position, and repeat on the other side.

Mountain Climbers

The starting position is a traditional plank. Make sure your back is flat and engage your core, lifting up the right knee and bringing it toward the elbow. Return it back to the original position and simultaneously start lifting your left knee in the same manner. It should feel like you’re “running” in place while doing a plank.

A Natural Talent

In the sport of skiing, it takes a special kind of talent, combined with a level of commitment and competitive drive that most could never imagine. That’s because in these races, it comes down to milliseconds and precise angles. In one race, Vonn beat Italian skier, Sofia Goggia, by just two-hundredths of a second, and in most races, she reaches up to 80 miles per hour, leaving no room for error.

But it wasn’t all easy for Vonn, who has faced multiple serious injuries that would cause anyone to hesitate about getting back up on the horse. She’s suffered concussions, torn ligaments, fractures, broken bones and even serious abraisons to her face. In one race, she fell and somersaulted down the slope screaming as she passed spectators.

Over time, she has developed a relentless determination to be the best, which has led her to be one of the top athletes in the world and one of the strongest female skiers in history.

Making A Name For Herself

Vonn is only one of six women who have come in first place in all six slope styles in the World Cup including downhill, giant slalom, slalom, super combine and super-G. Now, she’s asking the Federation Internationale de Ski to allow her to race in the men’s downhill competition. After being initially turned down, Vonn is recruiting male skiers to back her up in her request.

With her unparralled skills, fearlessness and persistence, Vonn is easily one of the most impressive athletes out there, male or female.
