Want Olympian Abs? Winter Vinecki's '300 Abs' Circuit Will Do The Trick

As the ski season gets closer and closer, we’ve been keeping an eye out for fitness tips from professional skiers because, let’s face it, we could all use a little extra gym time going into the winter.

While skiers in various disciplines might approach their pre-season fitness differently, there are some things that are universally helpful.

Most recently, Olympic aerial skier Winter Vinecki posted her “300 Abs” core circuit workout. Ski aerials couldn’t be more different than ski mountaineering to big backcountry lines, but Vinecki’s ab circuit is one that pretty much any type of skiing, or activity for that matter, would benefit from.

Here’s a video of her routine (complete with spooky, Halloween lighting and a banger Beyonce song). Tap or click below to watch. Keep reading for a breakdown of Vinecki’s ab workout routine.

Winter Vinecki’s “300 Abs” Core Circuit

• 20 Crunches
• 20 Bicycle sit-ups
• 20 Toe touches
• 20 Dead Bugs
• 10 Tuck ups
• 20 Candlesticks
• 10 Side-plank hip dip & leg lifts (both sides)
• 10 Side-plank crunches (both sides)
• 20 Russian twists
• 20 Superwoman’s
• 20 Penguins
• 20 Sit-ups
• 20 Alternating V-Ups
• 20 Flutter kicks
• 20 Criss-cross flutter kicks
• 10 Leg lifts

This circuit targets pretty much every part of your core and is a doozy. While skiing might be more of a ‘leg sport,’ having a strong core is unbelievably helpful, especially for things like balance, airs, and saving it when you think you’re gonna yardsale.

For athletes like Vinecki, it’s not just a regular competition season that has them doing all the prep they can, but the impending 2026 Winter Olympic Games, which is less than 100 days out.

Ski racers Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin have both posted a handful of workout videos throughout the off-season that you can add into your routine, along with Vinecki’s core-buster. Even if you’re not training for an Olympic season yourself, which most of us aren’t, throwing circuits like this into the rotation will at least keep the beer belly from the ‘occasional’ après PBR away…
