Emma Raducanu is hitting tennis balls – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the tennis pro gives her followers a glimpse into what it takes to maintain her fantastic figure, wearing a shirt that says “It only takes everything,” from Nike. “What the shirt says-> 🔒‼️” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps and videos.
How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Raducanu described her “step by step” approach to fitness in a recent video. “When I posted that video, it was literally the first time in the last year (that) I’d done a proper little chunk of training, so I was really, really happy to be starting that,” she told TODAY. “Because I honestly hadn’t done much, I just needed to start at the beginning and build my foundation up again. It’s so important to have a good foundation in everything, and after that, you can add complications and throw some more interesting things in.”
Emma prioritizes hydration. “Being on court, I’m sweating so much that staying hydrated is important to me,” Raducanu told Today. “It’s so good for mental clarity and to feel energetic. Otherwise you feel sluggish. And I know it improves my mood, as well.” She also loves coconut water. “But as a snack I’ve recently gotten really into fresh coconut water.
I love it. And it’s ironic because I always hated coconut. It’s the one thing I would not have. And now I just love coconut water.” According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons.
Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
