  Last week, ski racer and comeback queen Lindsey Vonn posted an Instagram video of her current favorite off-season workout. Whilst writing up a little news piece about it, I watched the video a bunch of times and thought, 'That could be up my alley!' I mistakenly messaged my colleagues on Slack to say how hilarious it would be to try these workouts and then write about how hard they are.
