She Plays Tennis
Obviously, tennis is Ajla's go-to stay fit method. According to ACE Fitness the racquet sport combines cardio and aerobic exercise."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.
She Walks Her Dog
Ajla also takes her dogs for walks. She captioned this snap of herself and her pooch, "Squirrel watching and Midnights on repeat….How's your Saturday going?" Walking your dog every day can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. According to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
She Rides Horses
Ajla also loves riding horses, which offers many health benefits according to the American Heart Association. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.
She Hydrates
You will often find Ajla with a hydrating beverage in her hand. How much water should you drink? According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should aim for 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.
She Wears Weighted Training Apparel
Tomljanovic's "secret weapon" is wearing weighted training apparel from Omorpho."It's basically weighted apparel for training," she told Australian Open TV this year. "You basically do your usual workout, but you get much more out of it. And there's science behind it. I didn't know how it would go, because I haven't used it up until this off-season. But I really feel like, fitness-wise, it helped me a lot."
