Tennis Stunner Amanda Anisimova in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "Nice to Meet You"

Amanda Anisimova, a rising tennis star with two WTA titles, is not only known for her athletic achievements but also for her candid approach to mental health. In a recent Instagram post, she shared highlights from her tournament in Seoul, expressing her excitement for the city and her journey in tennis. While playing the sport is a key part of her fitness routine, she also enjoys hiking and embraces the mental and physical benefits it offers. Anisimova stepped away from the sport in 2023 to prioritize her mental health, opening up about burnout and how it impacted her career. Her honesty about her struggles aims to inspire others to take care of themselves and seek support when needed.

1. She Plays Tennis

One of the ways that Anisimova stays in shape is by playing tennis. The Columbia Association states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Tennis is an excellent full-body workout that releases feel-good endorphins to help you relax and relieve tension. Its low-impact nature also means your joints and bones will thank you. Because tennis includes short bursts of activity, it offers the same conditioning benefits of interval training, which has an unparalleled positive effect on the heart and lungs, slashing your risk of heart disease by 56% (!). Just an hour of play burns between 400 to 600 calories.”

2. She Hikes

Anisimova shared this photo on Instagram of herself hiking by the ocean. Piedmont states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise that builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis. Hiking can help you manage your weight. It is a joint-friendly form of exercise that can keep arthritis sufferers more limber and mobile.”

3. She Stepped Away

In 2023, Anisimova shared what caused her to take a break from playing tennis on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Hey guys. I thought I’d make a post explaining what’s been going on and my plans. I’ve really been struggling with my mental health and burnout since the summer of 2022. It’s become unbearable being at tennis tournaments. At this point my priority is my mental well-being and taking a break for some time. I’ve worked as hard as I could to push through it. I will miss being out there, and I appreciate all the continuous support 🤍✌️”

4. She Has Support

Anisimova has a lot of support out there. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Sad with the result 😢 wish I could play more in front of you guys here, it’s absolutely my favorite place to play. Thank you to all the fans who came out, you guys are amazing. Shoutout to the guys in the corner behind me who were screaming, you guys were awesome 😂 Last year I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to play here this year 🖤 I’ll take away all the positives and lessons with me for next year, see you all then ✌🏽”

5. She Wants To Inspire Others

Anisimova talked about wanting to inspire others in an interview with The New Zealand Herald. “I was happy that I was able to be honest about the reason why I was stepping away,” said Anisimova. “Just being vulnerable about it [was] kind of freeing and takes a little bit of weight off my shoulders and if I can help other people in knowing that they are not the only ones struggling, they are not alone in it. It was really good to post about it and give some insight into mental health and that it is really important and taking care of yourself always comes first.”

Dayana Yastremska, a highly successful tennis player, recently announced an early end to her season due to health concerns. In her Instagram post, she shared, “Due to health issues and some other things, the season for me is done! see you soon 🤗.” Despite these setbacks, Yastremska remains focused on her well-being and fitness journey. Known for her relentless dedication on the tennis court, she stays active with a variety of workouts beyond tennis, including swimming and hiking. Whether she’s enjoying a solo swim or hiking in nature, Yastremska continues to prioritize her physical health. She also emphasizes kindness and love, sharing messages of positivity and resilience with her followers, inspiring others to stay motivated through life’s challenges.

1. She Plays Tennis

Playing tennis gives Yastremska a lot of physical and mental benefits. The Columbia Association states, “Tennis is an ace for stress relief too, which boosts your mood and keeps your heart healthy. And we can’t skimp over the warm and fuzzy traits it instills, like discipline, patience and teamwork, all in a healthy social outlet. A study done at Southern Connecticut State University even found that tennis players scored higher in vigor, optimism and self-esteem and lower in depression, anger, confusion, anxiety and tension than other athletes and non-athletes.”

2. She Swims

Yastremska likes to swim to stay in shape. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself wading in the water. Yastremska captioned the post, “☀️ be private, vibe alone, grow in silence.” Swimming has a lot of benefits. Better Health states, “Swimming is a good all-round activity because it: keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body, builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness, helps you maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs, tones muscles and builds strength, provides an all-over body workout, as nearly all of your muscles are used during swimming.”

3. She Hikes

Yastremska likes to hike to stay in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself hiking. Piedmont states that hiking has a lot of health benefits. “When you’re dressed for success, hiking is a great total-body workout,” says Michael Bednarz, DPM, FACFAS, a podiatric surgeon at Piedmont. “It strengthens the large muscles in your body, while stimulating the feel-good chemical hormones of adrenaline and endorphins that boost your mood and energy levels.”

4. She Believes In Kindness

Yastremska shared some of the things that she believes are important in the caption of this Instagram post. One thing she believes in is kindness.

Agnieszka Radwanska is getting her exercise in while on vacation – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the tennis star shows off her amazing body in a two-piece exercise set while taking a bike ride in the Maldives. “Thank you @sonevajaniresort and @sonevafushi_maldives for this adventure 😍🏝🐠🪸 It was amazing!😎❤️,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Tennis

Tennis is Agnieszka’s main form of fitness. “I feel fortunate that I can stay pretty lean without having to do too much gym work. With tennis, you have to play nearly every day, so I don't get to spend as much time in the gym as I would like. But for as long as I can remember I have been playing tennis, so I have a pretty active lifestyle,” she told ESPN.

2. Running

Her favorite form of training? “Running along the river in Krakow with my sister [WTA player Urszula Radwanska] is my favorite. Running can be quite tedious, so running with Ula makes it much more fun. We definitely motivate and spur each other on. When I'm hurting and tired, it's good to know she's in the same boat, so we can keep going together. I can't really remember any intense battles when we were younger, but there was a spell a couple of years ago where we kept drawing each other in tournaments, and that was awful. She's the last person I want to play against, and I'm sure she would say the same about me,” she told ESPN.

3. Sit Ups

What is the one workout or exercise she can't live without? “Sit-ups, for sure,” she told ESPN. “I like to do more than 300 in a single session. That makes my stomach rock hard. But when I do them, I'm thinking, ‘I wish this were over’ or ‘Now I can eat more chocolate.’”

4. Massage

After a big competition, Agnieszka treats herself. “After a tournament, I take at least one day completely off from tennis. Shopping, getting a massage, and watching TV and movies are pretty high on my agenda,” she says. According to the Mayo Clinic, studies support the many benefits of getting a regular rub down. These include stress reduction, lessening pain and muscle tightness, increased relaxation, and improved immunity.

5. She Fuels Her Body

When it comes to her diet, Agnieszka takes great care to fuel her body with food. “During tournaments, I eat a lot of carbs like pasta and tend to go heavy on the veggies to boost my immune system in case I'm worn out,” she said. She does admit that her “eating habits” may surprise you. “Unlike most players, who eat at least two hours before matches, I can eat a full meal and go straight out on the court. In fact, I prefer to do that. My usual routine is a plate of pasta 30 minutes before I'm due to go on court. If I don't, I end up starving midmatch. That habit dates back to when my dad used to pick me up from school and drive me straight to matches. We had no time for dinner, so I had to stuff myself in the car.” Her go-to junk food? “You can't beat a nice, home-cooked Polish meal. But also McDonald's cheeseburgers or cheesecakes from The Cheesecake Factory. I am proud to say I have tried every single one!” she says.
