About this audiobook
Lessons in strength, fitness, food, and attitude from the popular world champion skier and beauty icon—Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn.
Olympic Alpine skier Lindsey Vonn wants women to stop thinking about ""losing weight fast,"" and instead focus on loving their bodies for what they are and what they can do. Lindsey is a small-town Minnesota girl at heart turned world-champion skier, but that didn't come without hard work. In Strong Is the New Beautiful, Lindsey lays out the never-before-seen training routines and her overall philosophy that have helped her become the best female skier in the world—tailored for women of all shapes and sizes. Lindsey backs up her fitness program with advice on what to eat and how to work out, and kicks readers into high-gear, helping bolster their self-confidence and build a better body image, with the tips and tricks she's learned as a pro.
This is Lindsey's regimen, and she encourages people to take from it what will work for them. She bounced back from injury not by doing every single thing a trainer said, but instead, by thinking about the fitness plan that would work for her, and eating the right foods that would make her feel and get healthy. In Strong Is the New Beautiful, she interweaves her training and diet regimen with compelling stories of her life growing up in the heartland, her love of skiing, the challenges she's faced—including injuries, illness, and depression—and her secrets to wellness, fitness, and recovery.
Supported by cutting-edge science and the latest studies on health and exercise, filled with routines even those hitting the bunny hill of working out can master, and illustrated with dozens of workout shots and photos from Lindsey's own collection, Strong Is the New Beautiful will inspire and motivate you–whether you're an aspiring athlete, want to get back into shape, or are eager to up your game—to make your body stronger than ever before, inside and out.
Editor's Note
Winter Olympics…
Olympic skier Lindsay Vonn is one of the world's top athletes, which means her health advice is pretty sound. You may never ski like Vonn, but with this book you can eat like her.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I loved this book! My only complaint is I wish Lindsay had read it herself rather than a paid narrator.
I loved hearing Lindsay’s personal story. I love her philosophies on dieting, exercising, and taking care of yourself in general.
I have followed a similar program on my own for three years and have achieved the best fitness of my life. What Lindsay talks about is solid truth, even if she isn’t a professional nutritionist or health practitioner.
I enjoyed her including “Bear’s advice” as well (Bear is her rescue dog). I agree that having a workout partner helps and if you adopt your partner, it can save a life and make you healthier and stronger.
I’m so glad I listened to this book! Now I want to go out and buy it for future reference!2 people found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was very nice to read this book. Inspiring in some ways!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a combination biography and health recommendations book. Lindsey tells us a little about herself, her life, and then describes her diet and exercise suggestions. Lindsey has some practical knowledge and experience that combines into some good advice. I appreciate her honest assessment and helpful hints. I freely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in health. This book is especially for women.
