SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Watching world class athletes motivated one individual to get a quick workout while watching the U.S. Olympic Team Trials.

The United States’ Olympic Team Trials for diving took place in Indianapolis, Indiana earlier in June.

During one of the diving heats, an attendee in the stands got in a quick workout.

The fan began doing pushups while one of the divers was in the middle of her platform competition.
