Effortlessly gliding through freshly packed snow [6]; zipping through turns on cold, clear winter days; and flipping through air — while attached to skis! — makes freestyle skiing one of the most impressive and exciting Winter Olympics sports [7] to watch. Ahead of the 2022 Games in Beijing [8] this February, the Olympic athletes are training hard, and that includes in scorching hot temperatures. As this behind-the-scenes video from NBC Olympics reveals, Olympic skiers have to get pretty creative with their summer workouts. And those workouts are intense!

The video features 2018 Olympian Morgan Schild [9], who's a member of the US moguls team [10]. Schild recorded a montage of her various training techniques, starting with sliding down a ramp on her skis and doing flips into a swimming pool. (Yes, a swimming pool!) In the strength section, she's seen weight-lifting. Next is a trampoline and flexibility session, where she does flips on a trampoline and practices various gymnastics skills on a gym floor. Finally, she ends her training with sprints. My leg muscles are shaking just watching this.

At the end of the video, Schild does a quick equipment tune-up before hitting that recovery — relaxing in a pair of compression boots [11] while watching TV. "Then do it all again the next day," a caption reads. The discipline and skill required to complete that amount of training every day is incredible, and to think, this video is just a glimpse into the Olympian's training regimen. Wild! I know I can't wait to watch Schild's hard work pay off at the Olympics next year.
