The Winter Olympics may be over, but athletes from all over the world have inspired us with their determination, motivation – and most importantly, spirit and positive attitude. Team USA bronze medal winner Adam Rippon stole the spotlight during the Olympics and is now a huge inspiration to people everywhere.
"Six years ago, I had no money to my name. I was living in my coach's basement. I just leased a car and I got a letter in the mail saying that my credit was so bad that they needed to take the car back," Rippon told CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin. But in true Olympian fashion, he never gave up. |

Try this morning workout from Bob Harper! Repeat this 3 exercise circuit 3 times:
Russian twist with ball slam
- Start sitting on the ground, with your feet bent in front of you. Lean your chest back without rounding your spine. Grip a weighted ball with your hands. Twist your upper body to one side, then slam the weighted ball down to the ground. Pick it up and repeat on the other side. If you don't have a weighted ball at home, you could use a basketball. Continue alternating for 10 reps.
Falling star:
- Start in a high plank position, with your hands flat on the floor. Lift your right arm straight into the air. As you shift your body to the side, stretch your left leg across the floor. Repeat on the other side. Continue alternating for 10 reps.
Punch plank
- Start in an elbow plank position. Keeping your body in a parallel line with the floor, tighten your hands into fists. Keeping your lower body as still as possible, punch the air in front of your right arm, then left. Continue alternating for 10 reps.
