That’s it–no more cheat days. Nope, not after seeing this.
There’s 66 days between now and the first day of summer (yes, we’re keeping count), so allow Serena Williams to serve as your fit inspo if you’re trying to get it right and tight for the sunny season.
Fitness magazine tapped the athlete for their latest cover, and she is serving in a rockin’ red bathing suit. Serving. And just like that, we feel like we’ve got some work to do. But a body like hers won’t come as a result of going hard for the next 66 days at the gym. She’s a powerhouse player who’s collected 32 major titles and four Olympic gold medals since going pro at age 14–that’s a lot of working out and training. But with it came self-criticism over her athletic build:
“When I was young I thought I should be built more like an athlete – long and lean – not with a womanly figure,” she revealed to Fitness. “But then people my age started coming up to me and saying, ‘I love you because of the way you look.’ That was really motivating. So I learned to be proud of my curves and embrace my large boobs. It’s all about loving who you are and realizing that you’re beautiful.”
And her on-court demeanor has received a little scrutiny as well, giving spectators the impression that she’s a mean person, when really she’s just got her head in the game:
“It’s not the real me,” Williams said. “Even for me, it’s shocking to see. But in another way, it’s kind of cool to know that I have everything together on the court, because I don’t really have my life together personally.”
If this body is what not having one’s life together looks like, though, sign us up.
