Even prior to her amazing performance in the French Open , the New Yorker had dubbed Serena Williams the greatest athlete in the world. So it was only right that ESPN officially gave her the title “trumping LeBron James, Derek Jeter and Tiger Woods”. Williams has been to twenty-two Slam finals and has lost only four times. Her French Open performance was nothing less than stunning! For her many triumphs and remarkable relentlessness, I salute her!
I also want to salute her as a fellow curvy sista. Serena’s body is always on point and she trains very vigorously. Her commercial for Beats’ wireless earphones gives us just a glimpse of a day in her shoes:
A lot of people think that Serena’s workouts are strenuous and out-of-reach for the everyday person, which is false! As Serena stated in an interview with Fitness Magazine, “it’s all about motivation and discipline.” Serena revealed a part of her full-body Nike workout in an article for Women’s Health and Fitness Magazine. The full workout can be found on the app Nike Training Club which specifically has a complete workout designed by Serena Williams, herself. So, I’m challenging you all to do Serena’s core workout with me that I have included below. Equipment needed includes resistance band(s), which if you don’t have you can easily substitute something else, and an exercise ball which are sold everywhere for a relatively cheap price. Are you up for the challenge? Take a look below:
1. Place shins on gym ball with arms straight down for support. Roll the ball in until it’s beneath you and your knees are near your chest. You should look like a frog. Roll back out, extending your legs behind you.
2. Lie with your stomach on the gym ball and lock your hands together behind your head â€" elbows out to the sides. Using your feet for balance, dip forward, keeping your back, neck and head in line, and return upwards.
3. Lie on your back and place the fit ball between your feet. Raise your legs to vertical â€" further if you can â€" and pass the ball to your hands. In one smooth motion, take the ball back above your head and extend arms so the ball is almost on the floor. Repeat in reverse and continue the sequence.
4. Place a resistance band around your ankles. Step your right leg out to the side and squat deeply. Let your left leg naturally drift across with you as you rise out of the squat. With feet no wider than shoulder-width, repeat on your left leg, stepping your left leg out wide and squatting deeply. Add arms to up the burn.
