As Livvy Dunne gears up for her fifth season with the LSU Tigers, the gymnast is taking the cardio aspect of preseason training seriously.

The 21-year-old shared a sweaty, red-faced, and make-up-free selfie on her Instagram Story on Thursday, August 29 captioned, “pre-szn cardio will get ya 😅,” clearly winded from her intense workout. 

The story was posted right after a video of Dunne performing an epic stunt on the gymnastics floor captioned, “5th year upgrades?!” The athlete recently announced on social media that she will be returning to LSU for a fifth and final season with the Lady Tigers gymnastics team.

Dunne expressed how her passion for the sport has only grown stronger over the past year in a video posted to Instagram back in July.

“I’ve put in a lot of work during the off-season, which has left me feeling stronger and healthier. I really connected with the team this year, and our success was a true team effort. Winning the national championship was amazing, but I still feel like I have more to contribute as an individual competitor,” she said in the video, which was appropriately captioned, “not Dunne yet.”

Dunne boasts 5.3 million followers on Instagram and a whopping 8.1 followers on TikTok. Her influence recently earned her a significant $3.7 million NIL deal with Passes, a platform designed to help creators monetize their social media presence.

About a week ago Dunne posted another intense video of her pre-season training on Instagram, showing a more in depth look at what her workouts can look like. Text on the top of the Reel read "I will survive pre-szn” three times ,serving as a mantra for the young adult.
