Simone Biles Does Her First Workout Since the Olympics — and Says This Kind of Class Is ‘Too Hard’
Simone Biles may be the most decorated gymnast in history — but even she isn’t immune to a “hard” workout session.
In a post shared to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Dec. 4, Biles, 27, documented her first workout following her historic run at the Paris Olympics.
“First time working out since the olympics,” the gymnast wrote. “This is what I wore to a pilates class that I will never be attending again! Y’all stay strong out there lmao. It was too hard.”
During the Netflix docuseries Simone Biles: Rising, the gymnast opened up about her advanced age (for gymnastics) and how she feels differently now than she did earlier in her career.
“Since I’m older, my body is like a ticking time bomb,” Biles said in the series, and noted that despite suffering a calf injury during the Paris Olympics, she refused to quit and relive her early exit in the Tokyo Games.
Coming off her successful Gold Over America Tour, Biles has been tight-lipped about her future in gymnastics — specifically if she will return for a fourth Olympic games in Los Angeles in 2028.
“This is my last, definitely Yurchenko double pike [vault]. I mean I kind of nailed that one. So never say never,” BIles told reporters following the Paris Games. “The home Games — the next Olympics is at home, so you just never know. But I am getting really old.”
Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens told PEOPLE in August that he’s on board with whatever she decides.
“If she feels like it is time to focus on life … because when you are locked in, you do have to sacrifice a lot and you do miss a lot,” Owens told PEOPLE.
“That’s the one thing that she would just have to figure out for herself. And like I said, man, I’m here to support her a thousand percent whatever she decides to do,” he added.
