Serena Williams' Fun Fitness Routine Post-Tennis
It’s been two years since Serena Williams hung up her racket and said farewell to professional tennis, but don’t think for a second that she’s just chilling on the couch binge-watching reality shows (although hey, who wouldn’t deserve that?). The 42-year-old living legend is still keeping fit, active, and fabulous — just in new, fun ways.
Here’s a peek at how Serena stays in championship shape, minus the grueling tournaments.
Cardio, Baby!
Serena keeps her heart pumping with a variety of cardio workouts. Whether she's hitting the elliptical, going for a run, or even mixing arm exercises while on the treadmill, she’s all about getting her sweat on.
And here’s a fun twist: she’s a big fan of Tonal, that futuristic smart gym system she’s invested in. Gotta love a woman who stays fit and makes business moves simultaneously.
Pregnancy Squats & Supermom Strength
Let’s not forget that Serena stayed fit during both of her pregnancies. In 2023, she shared a workout on YouTube while expecting her second daughter, Adira. She admitted it was tough (hips don't lie, especially when you're pregnant), but she powered through with squats, weighted ball exercises, and stretches — all while Olympia, her eldest daughter, cheered her on.
Post-baby, Serena took her time getting back to full strength but was soon back in the gym. She even shared a sweet gym photo with Olympia, showing us that fitness is a family affair.
Listening to Her Body
Unlike her intense days on the court, Serena now takes a more balanced approach to fitness. If her body says, "Hey, can we chill today?" she listens. But when she's feeling it, she goes hard.

Super Bowl Dancing Queen
Serena proved she’s not just a workout queen but a dancing diva too. At the 2025 Super Bowl, she surprised everyone by making a cameo in Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show performance. Let's just say her dance moves were as fierce as her backhand. Super Bowl crowd? Blown away.
Mom Life = Full-Body Workout
Serena joked on TODAY that being a mom is more physically demanding than tennis. With two kiddos keeping her on her toes, she’s always on the move — and probably burning more calories than she did at Wimbledon!
Still the GOAT, Just in a New Arena
Serena may have retired from professional tennis, but she’s showing us that life after sports can be just as vibrant, active, and fun. Whether she’s dancing at the Super Bowl, working out with her kids, or simply taking a well-deserved rest day, Serena Williams is winning — as always.
