Serena Williams provided her fans with a glimpse into her rigorous fitness regimen through a video posted on Instagram on Saturday. In the footage, the 42-year-old tennis star informed her 17.1 million followers that she was ‘getting back into the swing of things’ while demonstrating a series of squats.
Acknowledging her recent disclosure about taking gym selfies, Williams added, ‘This is not my usual weight, but it’ll do until I get back to where I need to be.’ Throughout the workout session, she sported a sleeveless black Nike athletic top, highlighting her well-defined arms.
Completing her ensemble with matching leggings and a pair of colorful athletic shoes, the Grand Slam champion showcased her dedication to maintaining her fitness level.
Her lovely light brown locs were partially pinned up, with much of her hair cascading down her back and shoulders. Williams returned to the gym shortly after enjoying a vacation with her husband, Alexis Ohanian, and their daughter Olympia.
The athlete posted a series of photos depicting her and her six-year-old eldest child enjoying time together on a beach, jumping and spreading their arms. Opting for a revealing black swimsuit, the former professional tennis player savored the moments with Olympia.
Williams and Ohanian, 40, first crossed paths in 2015 and welcomed their eldest daughter in September 2017. The couple later celebrated their union with a lavish wedding ceremony in New Orleans in November of the same year. Announcing her second pregnancy in May, Williams gave birth to a baby girl named Adira in August. Over the past few years, Williams has shared numerous videos and photos featuring her husband and daughters on her Instagram account.
During a 2022 interview with Business Insider, the retired professional athlete discussed her approach to parenting, emphasizing her strong bond with her eldest daughter.
She acknowledged the reality of “mom guilt,” expressing feelings of guilt when engaged in activities without her child. Williams emphasized her hands-on approach to parenting, a trait she shared with her own parents.
Despite her commitment to her professional career, Williams emphasized that her top priority was the welfare of her family. She explained that while she maintained clear boundaries between work and personal life, she dedicated her time after work directly to her daughter.
