Nastia Liukin In Bathing Suit Enjoys Miami Summer

The beach is a top destination for this ex-Olympian. Together with her close friends and her new beau, Nastia jetted off to Miami to enjoy some fun under the sun.

She showcased her toned figure in a two-toned cutout swimsuit, perfectly paired with a straw summer hat. The series of photos also featured Nastia's other beach essentials - a Prada tote, Chanel slippers, and boyfriend Ben.

"just some summer vibes 🌴🐳🌞⛱🐚🧜🏼‍♀️," she captioned her post.

She is always out and about, whether for work or for play. Nastia has a beautiful home in Texas but she doesn't like to stay cooped up in it for a long time. As a former competitive athlete, it is important for her to maintain an active lifestyle even after her retirement.

As she told Hollywood Life, "There’s really no excuse. There is no, ‘I don’t have access to a gym’ — go for a run or a walk outside, do squats in your living room. It’s really important to stay young, to stay healthy."

As she spends a lot of time outdoors, she also makes sure to apply sunscreen. In an Instagram post, Nastia listed out some of her "key ingredients", which included a dose of integrity, respect, and of course, SPF.

"Key ingredients: integrity + respect (and wear spf)," she captioned the post.

According to Mayo Clinic, repeated sun exposure can increase the risk of sunburn and premature aging. Experts advise slathering on sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above 15-30 minutes before heading outdoors. Re-apply every two hours to ensure protection against ultraviolet rays.

Another ingredient that keeps Nastia looking always swimsuit-ready is chocolate milk. She revealed in a previous post that she has been drinking milk since she was training, as it aids in recovery and keeps her hydrated too.

"I love moving my body outdoors, especially in the summer season. I always pack chocolate milk in my cooler for post-workout recovery because it has natural electrolytes for hydration and high quality protein. I've been drinking milk to recover since training for the Games!"

Haters will always have harsh things to say but Nastia has learned not to be affected by negativity online. It's been 14 years since the graceful gymnast won individual all-around gold at the Beijing 2008 Olympics. While there are people who try to diminish her victories, she has remained confident in her self-love.

Her response to comments who tell her to "get over" her Olympic stardom is a reel that replays her glorious moments that celebrate her iconic status.

"Oh was I supposed to get over it? 🤪," she captioned the post.
