Daniela Hantuchová is a commentator and retired tennis player. While she might no longer be playing professionally, she’s still training hard. In May, Hantuchová hit the gym, and shared a video of herself there on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing deadlifts, lunge squats with a barbell, and leg lifts while on an exercise ball. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see TK ways Daniela Hantuchová stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Lifts Weights
As you can see from her Instagram video, Hantuchová likes to lift weights to stay in shape. ACE Fitness states that lifting weights is a great workout. “Using maximal loads for compound (multi-joint) movements like the deadlift, squat-to-shoulder press, bent-over row or chest press can improve intermuscular coordination, which is the ability of many muscles to work together to generate and control high levels of force through multiple joints.”
2. She Does Lunges

Hantuchová is also seen doing lunge squats with a barbell in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that lunge exercises have a lot of benefits. “The lunge is one of the most effective exercises for targeting the lower body. It activates the quads, glutes and hamstrings, and helps improve lower-body strength, balance and stability. And if that isn’t enough to get you lunging, lunging activates the core muscles as well.”
3. She Does Pilates
Hantuchová likes to do Pilates to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing exercises on a reformer. Hantuchová captioned the post, “As in life, focus on the balance in all you do.” The Cleveland Clinic states, “The benefits of Pilates are both therapeutic and preventive. The practice may help you recover from an existing injury or manage a chronic musculoskeletal issue. It may also help you establish a healthy baseline, so that when those injuries or issues arise, you’re able to bounce back faster.”
4. She Sets Goals
Hantuchová likes to set goals for herself each year. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram photo. “Setting up goals for next year starts with understanding that it is a continuous work through out the entire year🫶♻️. Think long term, taking small steps every day.”
5. She Plays Tennis
Tennis is naturally one of the main ways Hantuchová keeps herself in shape. She shared this video of herself on the court on Instagram. Hantuchová talked about her love of tennis in the caption. “Once a passion, forever a passion.🎾 For me playing tennis is like playing piano,it is the art and the beauty of every shot that makes our sport so special and what I was attracted to every since being a little girl🥰. And it is still the same feeling today🫶. What is your passion?”
