Over the years, during her tennis career, Serena Williams has been one of the fittest players on the WTA Tour. It has led her to tremendous success, as she has gone on to win 23 Grand Slam titles during her illustrious career. Additionally, she is also considered to be one of the greatest players to have played the sport. Even after retirement, Williams isn’t letting go of her workout habit. Recently, she shared glimpses of her daily workout regime on social media.
As it turns out, Serena Williams always keeps one exercise in mind while working out at the gym. She extracted this handy exercise from a very popular video of American rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
The American tennis legend is very active on social media and often shares glimpses of her everyday life with her millions of fans. Hours ago, she took to Instagram to show off her first workout in the gym that she does daily. It is one of the famous workouts that has gone viral on social media.
Sharing a story on her official Instagram handle, Williams said,
“In the gym, this is what I keep in my pocket. Yes, that’s my pocket. So what actually I work out there with leg see, squat, just really good from the other things. I stay here for about a minute. It’s my knee moving, so I can always have Megan knees.”
‘Megan Knees’ is inspired by none other than the famous American rapper, Megan Thee Stallion. It is a viral social media trend, and millions of gym enthusiasts have shared videos of them performing this workout. This workout requires coordination between hips and knees and one needs to have good strength in their legs to do this properly.
This is Serena Williams’ first move when she enters the gym. The former World Number 1 often hits the gym to follow her fitness regime. Recently, she also revealed what keeps her pumped up in the gym, even after retirement.
Nostalgia hits Williams
In one of her recent posts on social media, the younger Williams sister opened up about the reason behind her daily workout motivation. For the record, she followed her fitness regime even during her pregnancy. She revealed that the actual reason behind this was nostalgia.
Talking about this, she said, “I’m working out to my tennis pre match playlist… aiiiii I get so pumped. Too much nostalgia.” Every time the 23-time Grand Slam champion hits the gym, memories of her glorious tennis career resurface while she sometimes listens to her tennis pre-match playlist.
It is astonishing to see how Williams is dedicated to her fitness workouts, even at the age of 42. Indeed, she has inspired one and all during her tennis career and continues to do so even after retirement.
