American alpine skier Lindsey Vonn is one of the greatest alpine skiers ever. Not only does she have four overall World Cup championships, but three Olympic medals as well.

Of course, over the course of her illustrious career, she has been no stranger to crashes and injuries. In fact, her right knee remains permanently damaged from all her crashes.

Moreover, she also suffered fractures, broken ankles, and knees, and her aching body was one of the biggest reasons for her retirement. Even though she retired in February 2019, she revealed she had recent surgery to alleviate knee pain. Now, she is back in the gym and is certainly looking good while doing it.

Lindsey Vonn hits the gym after recent surgery

Former Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn revealed this month that she underwent another knee surgery recently. In fact, she shared that the surgery was to alleviate knee pain yet again.

Vonn blamed the pain for the reason that she hadn’t been able to work out lately, either. Thus, she decided to get another surgery on her right knee. Even though it has just been over a week since her surgery, Vonn is finally back in the gym.

Lindsey is now working on rehabilitating her knee, which will be a gradual process. Today, she took to Instagram to post a small workout video after quite a while. Vonn is doing half lunges on her right knee with a slight sign of struggle on her face.

“Making progress…” she wrote in her caption. Additionally, she even asked fans to not judge her atrophied legs. “Don’t judge my poor little muscles lol,” she wrote next to using ‘kneerehab’ as a hashtag.

Vonn took notes from Shaun White’s Costa Rica vacation

Lindsey Vonn is in the same resort in Costa Rica that legendary snowboarder Shaun White went to. White recently retired after the Beijing Winter Olympics and went on vacation with his partner Nina Dobrev.

Moreover, Vonn even participated in the same adventure sport that White and Dobrev did. With a safety harness attached, she climbed trees as tall as hundred feet.

Then, she even took to Instagram to tag Shaun White and tease him, saying she climbed the trees faster than he did. “They said I climbed the tree faster… just saying…” she wrote on her Instagram post, playfully teasing White.

Clearly, Vonn is not letting anything come in her way, and just over a week after her surgery, she is in rehab, hitting the gym. The heart of a champion truly remains even after they retire.
