Lindsey Vonn is pushing through another demanding stretch of rehab as she prepares for another surgery.
In a new Instagram video shared Thursday, October 22, the Olympic skier moved through a series of strength and balance exercises, including one-legged squats on a resistance band, weighted and unweighted barbell squats, and a plank on an exercise ball.
“Pre-surgery prep…. Focusing on high reps, getting muscle endurance and building mass,” Vonn captioned the clip. She added that she is gradually working in jumps and practicing how to absorb impact, writing, “Pretty basic but the results are adding up.” Her goal, she explained, is to build as much strength as possible before her leg loses muscle after surgery. “2 1/2 weeks to go!”

Fans cheered her on in the comments.
“Look up determination in the dictionary and Lindsey’s photo will be staring back at you,” one person wrote.
“Amazing, you are an example that shows to the world that if you want to progress everything is possible,” another said.
A third cautioned, “You are doing exactly the right thing but be careful not to overdo it!”
Vonn is preparing for surgery to repair the ACL she tore in a separate crash shortly before the 2026 Winter Olympics. Her Olympic downhill ended in a severe crash that left her with a complex fracture in her left leg and a broken right ankle. After the crash, she underwent multiple operations, and doctors had to address the extensive damage before they could repair the ligament. Thankfully, she’s getting the ACL reconstructed in November.

The physical recovery has also taken an emotional toll. In April, Vonn said she experienced depression and “really low moments” while she was immobile and dependent on others during her hospital stay. She described the two and a half weeks in the hospital as isolating.
By July, however, Vonn was celebrating a major rehab milestone. After five months, she was finally able to complete a strength workout she had been working toward. She wrote that her strength was returning, “maybe more mentally than physically still,” and acknowledged that she still had a long road ahead.
She’s got a solid support system, too. In September, she made her relationship with French alpine skier Matthieu Bailet public in a gallery shared to Instagram. The two appeared kissing and spending time together on a boat and in the water.
