Devin Logan, Silver medalist Freestyle Skiing 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi in conversation with Namita Nayyar President Women Fitness
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You started skiing at a very young age, your brother’s Sean and Chris were your mentor’s. You reached the pinnacle of success by winning silver medal at the 2012 Winter X Games in the slopestyle contest and silver medal at 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. What factors you consider were responsible that made you achieve that?
Ms. Devin Logan:
I’ve always worked really hard to achieve my goals. At first it was my goal to go to X Games, but once the Olympics included slopestyle and halfpipe that became my goal. Since I started skiing at age two and competing at age six I really credit a lot of training and always trying new tricks. Some days you aren’t as motivated, but I really just try to keep it fun and ski with my friends. As long as I am having fun then I feel like the learning comes easily. It’s also important to be as strong as possible, so time in the gym is essential.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you shall like to share?
Ms. Devin Logan:
I liked to jump on the trampoline, it’s great for your core and a good way to work on your balance and quick twitch muscles. I use the medicine ball often for core workouts and try to incorporate activities like skiing and hiking into my workouts- it doesn’t feel like a workout then either!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Devin Logan:
Typically I do not, but when I have a competition I try to eat yogurt, cereal and a banana for breakfast and then for dinner I stock up on something hearty like a burger or pasta because I need to refuel. In training season it is important to have a healthy dose of vegetables and protein.
