A "Step-By-Step" Approach

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."

Hydration​

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.

Raducanu maintains a healthy diet. In her recent post she shows off her meal prep container, filled with salmon, roasted veggies, avocado, and tomatoes. She also loves sushi. "I could have it all the time," she said. "When I travel it's one of my go-tos. She also relies on smoothie bowls and energy balls to fuel her workouts.

​Self-Motivation

"I think about how good I feel afterward," Emma told Today about how she keeps herself motivated. "For me, nothing beats the satisfaction of a really big training day and feeling really proud of yourself, knowing you've pushed yourself to the max. Right now, I've been doing so much work that sometimes I feel completely uncoordinated toward the end of it, but I know I've pushed myself to that stage, and I accept that once I freshen up, I'll be a lot better. The feeling afterward is what keeps me going." She added: "Every time I get into the gym, it's a win."

Tennis​

Tennis is Emma's main workout. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.
