Did you catch Nathan Chen’s record breaking figure skating performance? If you didn’t, he struck gold! He’s only 22 years of age out here taking home gold back to U.S soil, but how does he maintain his striking physique to compete in the greatest games of all time? Here’s the inside scoop.
People.com recently interviewed the U.S. figure skating team, including Chen, and revealed what to keep in a gym bag at all times.
Chen stated, “I always have mini bands, long bands, stuff like that. I have grip straps for lifts. I have a Powerade or just something to drink.”
