Molly Caudery is enjoying the off-season in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the champion pole vaulter gets some much-needed rest and relaxation while vacationing in Indonesia. "Nusa Penida & Uluwatu ?and that concludes off-season 2023… now back to work," she captioned a series of Instagram snaps.

After a disappointing meet in Eugene, Oregon, Molly explained that she used the experience to learn from her mistakes. "Eugene was such a disappointment for me and just made me want this even more and just makes it so much sweeter. After Eugene, me and my coach we sat down and went through everything what went wrong what we could change," she told BBC. "I think just changing my mindset and really focussing on things and then coming here and performing in front of this crowd."

While vacationing, Molly achieves her fitness goals by snorkeling. "Sun and snorkel diaries," she captioned a post. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Molly also enjoys hiking. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

Building stronger muscles and bones

Improving your sense of balance

Improving your heart health

Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

Molly is a fan of Pilates. In a video, she shows off her Pilates moves on a reformer. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it "strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Molly spends a lot of time running, as speed is crucial for pole vaulting. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.
