Working out and eating well are the norm for Venus Williams.”It’s my job to become healthy, therefore it is something that’s forever in the forefront for me personally,” the tennis pro, 36, told?PEOPLE while discussing her upcoming collection for EleVen. “I’ve been doing this for any quite a while, therefore it is easy to be in a routine of the items I need to eat and just what I have to do to perform at my best level.”Williams varies her exercise routine for the way far out she is from the match, and just how tough the match will be.”If it’s two weeks out, it’s a different routine than the day or two days before,” she explains. “Two weeks out I’m training as hard when i can, and so the day before it’s all about just easing your way in to the match.”When she’s in training mode, Williams says gym workouts are just as vital as tennis practice.
“I usually do the same amount of time in the game and amount of time in the gym,” she says. “Half the battle is incorporated in the gym.”And when she’s not training, she’s sure to give her body the rest it requires.”Taking time off work is also equally important!”As for her eating habits, when Williams is get yourself ready for a tennis match, she’ll bunch on healthy carbs for example steamed rice and yams. Even though she eats a clear, plant-based?diet typically, she does let herself splurge when she would like to.”I do splurge, absolutely, because I’m human and I want to have a great life,” she says. “I happen to love different treats?and?butter, things like that. You just need to live a well-balanced life.”
