Nastia Liukin Had No Idea How To Use Regular Gym Equipment After Retirement
Nastia Liukin keeps it hot in Vegas with a black dress for the 10th anniversary Celebration of ‘The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil’ held at The Mirage Hotel & Casino on Thursday night (July 14).
“About last night… Thank you @Cirque for having me. I LOVED celebrating the 10th Anniversary of ‘LOVE’ with you,” the 26-year-old athlete and Olympic commentator shared on Twitter after the event, which Modern Family‘s Aubrey Anderson-Emmons and Josh Hutcherson also stepped out for.
Speaking with Yahoo recently, Nastia opened up about her life after retirement: “I felt so lost for a good year. I gained probably 10 to 20 pounds, because when you stop doing something and just go cold turkey your body doesn’t even know what to do. I finally feel like I’ve found my rhythm again. It takes time to figure out what your body needs and what’s best for you both in nutrition and also fitness.”
She added, “I remember walking into a regular gym, not a gymnastics gym, and looking at the equipment and thinking, ‘What are these things?’ I had no idea what to do and how to use this equipment because my whole life was so structured. My dad was my coach and he always gave me a plan. All of a sudden I’m like, ‘Wait, where’s my coach?’ It was really up to me to kind of figure it out.”
FYI: Nastia wore a Alon Livne dress and Marchesa shoes.
