Olympic Gold Medalist Lindsey Vonn Coming to Naperville

She's coming Oct. 7.

NAPERVILLE, IL — Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn will share her story of success and lessons in fitness, food and attitude during her appearance in Naperville.

Olympic Alpine skier 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. Vonn 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,” she 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. Vonn 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.

Vonn will be celebrating her book at Anderson’s Bookshop in downtown Naperville, 123 W. Jefferson Ave. on Friday, October 7 at 7 p.m. Tickets are available exclusively at Lindseyvonnandersons.brownpapertickets.com.
