All Serena Williams knows how to do is win, including when it comes to her fitness goals.
Since early January, the 43-year-old mother of two has taken her followers on a postpartum weight-loss journey following the birth of her second child, daughter Adira, who was born in August of 2023. In addition to sharing her routine and some of her workouts, the tennis goat also shared her weight-loss goal, and it was incredibly relatable.
“I got this Valentino skirt when I was pregnant, and I was like, I’m going to be able to fit this when I don’t have a belly,” she stated in a video posted on Jan. 28, 2024. “I can’t fit it, but this is my goal.”
While she couldn’t fit the floor-length skirt then, struggled to pull it up in May, and had a time zipping it up midway through the year, through an unveiling shared on December 30, she can certainly fit it now.
“Oh, that feels better already,” she said before the skirt went up with no trouble, even fitting a bit loose around the waist. “It fits. An ounce more, it wouldn’t fit. I’m a Laffy Taffy or Skittle away from it not fitting,” she joked.
The clip is something to applaud, and it’s also inspiring at a time when many prepare to come up with New Year’s resolutions that include losing a few pounds.
