I've been doing lots of trapeze, and so much of it is holding your own weight.

I had been on the junior Olympic team in high school for trampoline; I could do twenty-six back flips in a row.

All I had to do was go out and perform. One of the hardest things was doing those back flips, where you had to jump up and land on the top rope. It's precision movement.

I stay away from straight bench; all the work I do is with dumbbells to protect my rotator cuffs. Then I'll do a bunch of different pull moves like inverted rows before finishing with some simple internal or external rotations with a band to strengthen my shoulder.

I did side planks for my obliques, which are one of my trouble areas. And traditional planks tone your back so you don't have that little bit of fat hanging over your bra. Ugh!

I could never focus on my upper body as a skater, so I'm enjoying having symmetrical upper and lower body muscle.

I'm pretty well-rounded. I can do most of my tricks left and right, in both directions. I try to be smooth and confident. But it's still developing. I'm still trying to find my own personal touch in the way I ski.

I used to try and do backflips a lot, but I used to bang my head more often than not, so I gave it up.
