At 30 years old, Laura Wilkinson intends for this to be her final trip to the Olympics, and does not intend to repeat the last Olympics. She was a big winner in 2000, but didn't end up with a medal in 2004.

She's been training hard to get ready for Beijing -- considering she'll be going up against divers as young as half her age, that's not a surprise. She works in and out of the pool from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 or 5:00 p.m., breaking for lunch in the middle of the day. A typical day includes stretching, ab and somersault work, drills and technique work in the pool, plyometrics, cardio, and/or weights.

Laura has so much experience with what goes into making a good diver that she has released her own training video, called Personal Best. In it, she shares dry land exercises and stretching tips to become a top diver. For the rest of us, Women's Health picked out a few of Laura's exercises from which we could all benefit, like side to side jumps, shoulder lifts, back lifts, bicycles, and hanging leg lifts.
