It’s difficult to think of tennis superstar Serena Williams ever needing to get in shape after seeing her strong, powerful body on the court, but since January she’s taken a whole new approach to fitness, and it shows. She graces the pages of the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar looking nothing short of hot. She said she’s gone from a size 12 to a 10 and her workouts include Pilates, running, strength training, and hitting tennis balls, but she refuses to diet. She also spoke of growing up with her sister Venus and how she has worked through her body envy over the years. And while she complains that her arms are little “too fit,” she seems to be in a great place as far as her body image and acceptance go. Good indeed, especially when that different body has allowed her to become a tennis legend. Has your body image evolved over the years like Serena’s has? And do you have a sibling with a very different body type than yours? Image via burntfilm/Flickr
