Tennis LegendThroughout her remarkable career, Serena Williams has continuously challenged traditional ideas of femininity in tennis, and her strong, athletic body has frequently been discussed in public.
After years of trial and error, Williams just shed thirty pounds thanks to a weight-loss medication that she freely advertised to supporters and viewers on Today this week.
I have been quite transparent about being on GLP-1s, and many people have been curious about my new fitness path and what I’ve been doing. Williams spoke with pride. For me, the main goal was to eliminate the stigma associated with asking, “Is this a lazy approach?” Is that a shortcut? You did that, but why?
Williams, 43, struggled to lose weight despite her best efforts after having two children in the last eight years. She then turned to friends who supported her most recent lifestyle adjustment.
GLP-1s, also known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, are a class of medications that help regulate blood sugar, hunger, and digestion by mimicking a natural hormone.
She claimed that everything began after she gave birth to her first child. You experience various life cycles as a woman…. I literally was playing a professional sport, and I was unable to return to the place where I needed to be for my health, so I would walk for hours on end no matter what I did—running, walking, etc. Then, after my second kid, it just even got harder. I decided to try something different after that.
With 23 Grand Slam singles trophies, 73 WTA Tour titles, and two Olympic gold medals, Williams had an incredible tennis career and rose to become one of the greatest of all time. Her career was characterized by extraordinary longevity; she overcame times of injury and mockery to become a strong voice for women in business and sports.
Williams’ post-tennis endeavors include philanthropy, the establishment of a prosperous venture capital fund, and his ongoing cultural and fashion influence.
