Emma Raducanu is an extremely successful tennis player. Last month, she played in a Porsche Tennis tournament. She shared some photos from it on Instagram. In them, she wore white workout gear and carried a racquet and ball. Raducanu captioned the post, “Dust it off and try again. Till next time.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Emma Raducanu stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Plays Tennis
Obviously, tennis is the main way Raducanu stays in shape. The sport has a lot of health benefits. Lee Health reports, “Tennis utilizes upper, core, and lower body muscles – but it’s also one of the best cardiovascular and aerobic exercises you can do. Playing a few sets increases oxygen flow, circulation, and helps you fight back heart disease. That kind of physical workout also decreases lipids, which helps lower cholesterol.”
2. She Works Out All Day
Raducanu shared her wellness secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she trains most of the day. “Typically, I start my day with physio doing muscle activation work to warm the body up. Then I warm up for half an hour, play tennis for 90 minutes, have an hour gym session, then break for lunch for around 90 mins. After lunch, I go on court for another two hours and finish with an hour of treatment. It's quite a lot but not much beats the satisfaction you get from it at the end of the day.”
3. She Makes Time For Herself
Raducanu shared her favorite ways to wind down with Harper’s Bazaar. “A big thing for me is spending time alone to wind down. I am a bit of a lone wolf and after an intense day, where I either push myself to the limits training or have many social interactions, I like to spend time alone reflecting and recharging. Being comfortable in my own company and in the silence that comes with it is something that helps me stay fresh.”
4. She Takes Care Of Her Skin
Raducanu shared her skincare secrets in her Harper’s Bazaar interview. “For my skin I use Dior La Mousse for cleansing. I sweat a lot during training, so it’s perfect for me to remove all the dirt from my pores. I also use the Dior Le Baume to moisturise my hands and lips. I love the look of the round tube with the Dior Oblique motif. It’s both couture-like and ergonomic; I like to use it as a travel size accessory too, so it’s always nearby.”
5. She Plans Her Meals
Raducanu shared her secrets for eating healthy with Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she likes to plan out what she will eat ahead of time. “Planning my mealtimes is also vital for two reasons; firstly I am a huge foodie and the type of person that looks forward to my next meal while I’m having the current one! Secondly, because during long, intense sessions I need to maintain focus and energy.”
