Yoga

In an interview with Tennis World USA, Elina explained that her training method has "seven or eight different aspects" starting with yoga. 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 body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."

Strength Training and Cardio

She added that she also does a lot of "strength training, cardio, on court technique, muscle training." According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones

Breathing Exercises

Breathwork is also part of her routine, explaining it is "particularly important for a tennis player because we have to breathe correctly and so give the body the right quantity of oxygen." She adds: "During the match, the body deals with a lot of nerves and breathing helps you to find a balance. There are many combinations for a fitness routines. My coach has full control of it and he always picks the best option."

Healthy Diet

Elina fuels her body with healthy food. "I train a lot so I do not want to ruin my routine because of my eating regime," she says. "You can eat cakes being careful. I only do it in the morning after intense training."

Hydration

Hydration is also key. "I drink four or even more liters of water a day. We are constantly giving the body a big workload, while water helps you to regain strength, it influences your amount of muscles. If there is not enough water on your body, there could be cramps or other things," says Elina. 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.
