Since her retirement in 2019, Lindsey Vonn hasn’t stopped with her relentless will to remain fit. The former American alpine skating legend is one of the legends of the sport to grace the field and the Olympics.
She is one of the top three athletes in the sport with the highest number of World Championship wins. She also has one gold and two bronze medals from the Olympics.
In her post-retirement life, Lindsey Vonn still tries to remain in the best shape. In one of her latest Instagram posts, she updated her followers with a workout video focused on her legs. Throughout her career, Vonn has sustained several injuries, which have rendered her knees to be feeble.
In an interview with Mario Lopez from Access Daily, Vonn said that these injuries have also sustained insomnia for her. Nevertheless, she never let her injuries come in the way of the illustrious that she has had.
Currently, Lindsey Vonn is considering knee replacement surgery to help with the constant pain of these injuries. This workout video is a part of her prep for the surgery, where she shows relentless willpower to stay fit and active.

She says, “I actually have had insomnia for quite some time and it started when I have my first big knee surgery. You know as an athlete how important sleep is. I was laying in bed after surgery in a lot of pain and trying to sleep and I couldn’t. The anxiety behind it just got me down really bad.”
She recommends and has also partnered with Idorsia’s QUVIVIQ, which she says has worked as the best solution for her to resolve insomnia. Speaking about it, she further adds, “I have tried so many different things to try to rectify that. I hadn’t found anything until now, and I am so excited to be partnered with Idorsia and to be able to share sleep story with everyone.”
