Chloe Kim is an American first generation Korean snowboarder born to South Korean parents who moved to the United States in the 1990s. Her love for sports was manifested when her father took her to society to learn the winter sports himself. He got Chloe to practice snowboarding with both feet forward. As Chloe got older, ambipedality or two-footedness set her apart from other athletes. Since 2014, the talented athlete has pushed the boundaries of her sport through complex aerial maneuvers at X Games, the US Snowboard Grand Prix and the Winter Olympics.

Personal trainer

• Chloe has been a member of the US Snowboard Team since 2013 and has competed in the ESPN Winter X Games since 2014 when she was only 13 years old.
• The snowboarder is not a morning person. She gets up at 7am and starts her day slowly to mentally prepare for the grueling training schedule.
• In order to be at her best, both physically and mentally, a requirement for competition is that the athlete has made some changes to her diet and exercise habits based on the recommendations of her nutritionist and strength coach, but she is usually happy to defy accepted norms of healthy eating and exercise.
• Since her daily calorie intake is very high, between 2200 and 3200 calories, Chloe can easily get away with eating a lot of junk food and processed snacks.
• The snowboarder also doesn’t like to warm up before training.
• She started her day with a big breakfast that consisted of chocolate pancakes, some biscuits and gravy, toast, cottage cheese or cinnamon toast crunch cereal, until she found that a substantial morning meal would slow her down in her daily 3-hour morning practice .
• So Chloe switched to a big dinner and a small breakfast like a smoothie with spinach, Greek yogurt, honey, strawberries and blueberries.
• After a second snowboard session after lunch, Chloe video reviews her progress with her coach and hits the gym in the evening.
• Your shortest workout lasts an hour, while a longer session can last 2 hours.
• In 2015, Chloe injured her right knee and chose rehabilitation at the Center for Excellence, Park City, Utah. Since the incident, she has been going to the gym regularly to strengthen her legs.
• For the upper body, the snowboarder sticks to basic moves like pull-ups, push-ups, and dips. However, for the core and legs, she does a more extensive range of exercises using TRX, medicine balls, and body weight.
• Chloe also enjoys running 20-30 minutes on the treadmill and takes the spin bike/stationary bike with her on the day she feels fatigued after a challenging snowboard workout.
• She slept for 10 hours but reduced it to 8.
• Despite having a sweet tooth, after 2016 the snowboarder eats far less sweets and makes conscious choices for lower-calorie products, particularly at Starbucks, which helped her successfully lose fat and build muscle ahead of the 2018 Winter Olympics.
