Coco Gauff in Bikini Is in Her “Natural Habitat”

Coco Gauff is showing off her pro athlete body in a bikini. The tennis star flaunts her fantastic figure in a tiny bathing suit in a new social media post. “Just a floridian pisces in her natural habitat 🧜🏾‍♀️,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken in Florida. “Ariel, is that you?” one of her followers commented. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her diet and fitness habits.

Coco starts her day with a balance of protein and carbohydrates for breakfast. “Today, I had eggs, potatoes, sausage, and fruit,” she told Women’s Health. “That’s usually what [breakfast] looks like.” To satisfy her sweet tooth, she will have some fruit.

Lunch is “always different” for the tennis star, but she often fuels up on carbs. “I just love pasta, and I feel like it’s an easy way to fuel,” she told Women’s Health. She also might have a rice and beasn bowl with chicken and avocado.

Dinner usually consists of protein, like salmon or chicken, with vegetables. While she doesn’t usually eat red meat, “but every now and then” she will have a steak. She often cooks dinner with her air fryer. “I think it’s the easiest thing ever, and it’s pretty easy to clean.”

Coco stays hydrated. Her hydration hack? Pedialyte, an electrolyte drink that “prevents dehydration and restores fluids, electrolytes, and zinc.” She has been drinking it for “a long time,” she says, and she’s “never had problems with cramping or dehydration.” She always drinks water during competition.  According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

During Vogue’s “24 Hours with Coco Gauff” video, she revealed she gets her zen on. “I don’t like yoga, but I do it cause I know it’s good for you,” she says in the video. She also does stretching, ab work, tennis drills, and cardio, revealing that she works out about six days a week. “Because I work out so much, when I do have a day off, I don’t want to do anything,” she says. However, this is when she gets a yoga workout in. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower BMIs than those who did not. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”
