Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin and her hyper-extended legs are delivering life wisdom from a Texas alley. The 30-year-old former athlete and 2008 all-around Olympic champion updated her Instagram ahead of the weekend with another show-stopping leg display that doubled up – or tripled up – to include both a fashion show and a piece of Nastia's mind.
Nastia, followed by 1 million, is known for keeping the photos leggy and the captions philosophical. "Is what you're holding onto worth the space it's taking up?" she asked. Check it out below.

Scroll for the photo. Nastia, whose fall has already made headlines for her Montana travels, is now back in her Dallas, Texas base. The post opened with a stunning face shot as the Moscow-born star peeped from under a fuzzy cream hat, with the a quick swipe to the right bringing the famous legs.
Nastia, who caused a giant hoopla by extending both legs in the bath to "bring bubble baths back" this year, had hers on show while posing from a new-build alley that appeared to still be in construction.

Keep scrolling for the shot. Nastia, photographed in a chic ivory hoodie paired with minuscule Daisy Dukes and a pea-green outer jacket, posed with her left leg slightly raised – it's literally all muscle with this girl. Nastia's gene pool seemed set from birth, with both parents being Olympic gymnasts.
The sunny alley photo massively contrasts the last one Nastia shared – here, the Olay partner was in bed in only a white bathrobe and gearing herself up for the winter months ahead.

On Thursday, Nastia updated with a classy and very Instagrammable bed shot as she linked fans to her blog and talked wellness, writing:
"There’s (finally!) a chill in the air now and that means cold season is inevitably around the corner. With the change in seasons, I always try to keep my morning routine consistent, especially when I’m trying to keep my immune system strong!"
It isn't all talk for this star, though. Nastia has launched her $55 Celery Green Cream as part of her Nastia x Volition collab.

If you don't live inside Nastia's Instagram, the former athlete features one little dude over and over – dog Harley is responsible for nearly "destroying" his owner's egg chair. He's also accompanied Nastia to the pumpkin patch this year, plus sat opposite her in a cute bathtub moment as the two looked at one another.
The only thing not easy-going on the feed seems to be the fans. They've trolled Nastia over being too old to wear a leotard this year. They've also criticized her Montana travels with an incorrect assumption that she's from California – Nastia moved to the U.S. as a young child after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
