Tennis Pro Belinda Bencic Shares Swimsuit Photo on "Vacation"

Belinda Bencic is hiding her baby bump in a bathing suit. In a new social media post the tennis pro shows off her amazing body in a swimsuit and Missoni pants, while vacationing in the tropics. “Not as easy to take vacation bikini pics nowadays,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “But as always well equipped with @bongeniegrieder @missoni.” Her followers had a lot to say about the photos. While some begged to see the bump while others commented on how great she looks. “Baddie,” commented one. “Being pregnant is beautiful and empowering. Show it off and be proud!” added another. How does the athlete approach health and wellness? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.

1. Interval Cardio Training

"I’m currently doing interval training on the track with 100 meter sprints down the straights and jogging round the corners," Belinda told Express UK. "It tires me out quickly but I’m getting better at it.

2. Footwork

"I’ve been working on footwork, which is really important for me, as on the court you have to move well. I use a ladder," she added to Express UK. "I place the ladder on the floor and use it to do a number of footwork drills in and out to help my agility."

3. Strength Training Focusing on Arms and Shoulders

"I do strength training that focuses on the arms and shoulders with exercises on the shoulder press and using the medicine ball,” Belinda said. "It’s not all about being strong though, I need to have quick movements as power can also come from the speed of the arm so I stretch a lot using elastic resistance bands specially designed for building movement speed."

4. Multiple Workouts a Day

Belinda does multiple workouts a day. "Training during the off-season always involves two tennis sessions and one fitness session in the gym," she told Express. "I start with practice on court for two hours in the morning from 9am to 11am. I mainly focus on drills where I hit a lot of balls, typically feeding drills. In the afternoon I start back on the court again at 2pm and do match simulation.”

5. Hydration

Belinda stresses the importance of hydration. “Training and playing in hot climates mean staying hydrated is critical. I drink a lot of water but also sports drinks with electrolytes to help with recovery and replenishment,” she said. 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.

6. Stretching

Belinda isn’t a fan of Andy Murray’s cooldown method. "After training I try to avoid the ice bath. A light jog and plenty of stretching helps me to wind down,” she said. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

We meditated, we chatted, we had time to get in touch with nature, with each other and with ourselves. We ate well, laughed, rested and obviously, we did a lot of yoga. It was a very special weekend, with very special people 💫 anim️ ️ 🌳 How nice it is to be encouraged to do new things!!”

Some facts: We did the walks through 'La Cascada' and 'Las Animas' (we brought a picnic because we didn't know if we were going to find places to eat). At night we stay at the hotel, which is a bomb and has so much peace that we ask for food and have lunch there. Have a nice weekend!! And thanks to everyone who gave me information about Tandil. I already have a to-do list for when I get back.”

4. She Swims

5. She Loves the Sun

Sunshine, the life-giving essence of our world, offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond its warm embrace. As the golden rays bathe our skin, they bring forth a cascade of advantages for our physical and mental well-being. First and foremost, sunlight is our primary source of vitamin D, a vital nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones and boosting our immune system. Just a short exposure to sunlight can trigger the production of this essential vitamin, warding off deficiencies and reducing the risk of diseases like osteoporosis.

Donna Vekic is soaking up the sun in Croatia – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post from vacation, the tennis star sits by the ocean in her bathing suit and enjoys a relaxing afternoon. “Lots of views and shades of blues,” she captioned the Instagram post, adding the hashtag “vitamin sea.” How does the athlete keep herself ready for the court? Celebwell compiled some of the ways she stays fit and healthy.

1. She Has a Set Meal Plan

“Nutrition is very important—up to 70 percent of helping you play your best—but we can also get away with taking a few liberties here and there. It all comes down to timing, and when you’re eating right,” Donna told Tennis.com. “I started working with a nutritionist in the last off-season, so I had a set meal plan, but it’s a bit trickier to follow it when I’m on the road. I have to eat a lot in restaurants, which can make it harder to plan ahead, as opposed to when I’m able to cook at home.” She also fuels up before she hits the court. “I try to eat about two hours before a match, but if the match before mine goes longer than planned, I will have a small snack, like an energy bar or a banana. Afterward, I try not to eat carbs for dinner, and I try to eat my dinner early because I think it helps me sleep better,” she says.

2. She Cycles

Donna rides a stationary bike for cardio. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

3. She Hikes

Donna loves hitting the trails. “A hike a day when in LA,” she captioned this post from her “Sunday funday” in Malibu. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

4. She Stand-Up Paddleboards

When she is on the water, you can find Donna paddleboarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

5. She Cheats

Donna loves taking a celebratory cheat day when she wins a big match. “I would probably have a drink first, and then order a burger, followed by a Nutella pizza for dessert,” she says about her dream day of indulgence.
