Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney is all tied up in heavy metal chains and with her apple bottom right up. The 25-year-old former athlete and vault queen, mostly posting with skimpy looks and yesterday's pumpkin breakfast waffles, today offered something a little unusual – at least, for her. McKayla, who has not shared workout content since her frozen peas and bread home gym session, made her latest stories fitness central, and it was cables and spandex galore for the stunner. Check it out below.

Scroll for the action, plus a little bikini action. McKayla, followed by 1.3 million on her IG, had kicked Thursday off with stunning spaghetti-strap selfies as she threw out 2021 motivation and peeked three perfectly-piled waffles. Now it looks like the London 2012 Olympics face is burning every last calorie off.
Seen dripping mad sweat and likely burning mad calories in camo leggings showing her gorgeous peach, McKayla was seen mega lunging forward for a giant bend-over while chained at the left ankle.
Keep scrolling for more photos. McKayla, concentrating on her power workout and holding on for support with one hand, yanked those Gold Medal legs out as she also sported a white cropped sweater with 39-year-old singer Britney Spears' face on it ‒ Maroney also wore long hair down and a protective blue face mask.
"I MISSED THESE SO MUCH. NOT AS FUN IN A MASK BUT BETTER THAN NOTHING," the California native wrote, adding: "CABLE PULL BACKS." Maroney then admitted this was her first day back in the gym since November 2020

McKayla has been making headlines for having a lesser-known Instagram account, one that focuses on wellness and motivation. Just this week, the star reflected on her own philosophies, telling fans:
"Sometimes as we get older we can accidentally adopt a more “practical” mindset... I know I did.
Maybe we’ve been knocked down a few times, gotten our heartbroken, made some mistakes we regret, or just plain old wasted our time."
Maroney also offered positive energy for 2021 – see her pumpkin waffles below!

Maroney, who remains teased by her own family for her viral "unimpressed" face nearly ten years ago, threw out yet more positive energy as she told fans: "After making the Olympic team, and winning gold with my team I truly learned that with enough hardwork, sacrifice, and mental fortitude you can really make any dream reality."
McKayla's Instagram is followed by gymnastics' cream of the crop including 23-year-old superstar Simone Biles and 31-year-old five-time Olympic medalist Nastia Liukin. Check out blonde Nastia's massive bikini thigh gap below.
