Livvy Dunne glows in bikini pics

Summer is not over until Livvy Dunne says so!

On Monday, September 16, the Louisiana State University gymnast, 21, posted a photo of herself soaking in the summer sun on her Instagram story for her 5.3 million followers to view — Summer officially wraps up on Sunday, September 22.

The NCAA champion looks exceptionally radiant in the flick as the sun shines down on her. Dunne's eyes are closed in the photo, as she appears to be resting on a beach chair getting her tan on. Her blonde locks are pulled up and away from her face, and her adorable freckles are on full display. The NIL (name, image, and likeness) icon appears to be wearing a red bikini top, but only the spaghetti strap strings are visible.

Dunne accessorized her look with classic silver hoops and a thin gold chain and kept in line with the summer vibes, wearing a muted yellow polish on her nails. The photo was seemingly taken selfie-style from above, as you can see Dunne's phone shadow on the chair.

The influencer captioned her story, "hawt [hot] day in Louisiana," in a cherry red font that matched her bikini top and included the flaming heart emoji. It looks like Baton Rouge had a high of 89 degrees on Monday, September 16, so Dunne is definitely being real when she says it's hot out.

The gymnastics superstar has returned to LSU for her fifth and final year, competing for the team she helped lead to their first NCAA victory in April. Since being back on campus, Dunne appears to be enjoying all the "lasts" of college.

On Sunday, September 8, the TikToker attended LSU's first home football game of the season. Dunne posted an Instagram carousel swipe from the event, including photos with her fellow teammates Alyona Shchennikova and Chase Brock.

Dunne captioned the spirited post, "Can i get a geaux [go] tigers?!"

Dunne recently visited the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at LSU for the premiere of the new six-part docuseries The Money Game, which aired on Amazon Prime on Tuesday, September 10. The series follows LSU student-athletes like Dunne, who have profited from the NCAA's new NIL change, which allowed college athletes to make money from endorsements.

Gymnast Alyona Shchennikova shows off her incredibly toned figure

Alyona Shchennikova is heating up a cold day in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the LSU gymnast shows off her incredibly toned figure in a bathing suit while spending time outdoors on a chilly day. "Baby, it's cold outside," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps.

Alyona loves to swim. "Lake Dayzzz," she captioned a photo of herself taking a dip. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

Alyona also hits the trails when she has free time. In a recent post she posed at the top of a hiking trail in front of the Hollywood sign. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

Building stronger muscles and bones

Improving your sense of balance

Improving your heart health

Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

Walking (in her bathing suit!) is part of Alyona's self-care routine. "Fall in love with taking care of yourself. mind. body. Spirit," she captioned a post. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Another one of Alyona's go-to outdoor exercises? Biking. "Just a happy girl and her bike," she captioned this post. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Alyona indulges in hot water therapy, which she does in her recent post by taking a dip in the hot tub. Soaking in hot water is good for your health. Baths, identical to jacuzzi soaks, have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.
