Serena Williams uses Power Plate to aid her Australian Open triumph

February 4th, 2010 admin No comments

Last weekend Serena Williams won her 12th Grand Slam singles title, the Australian Open. Serena is one of the all time womens greats but to reach this standard it is not just on-court training that counts. Off court training plays a big part.

For this Serena enlists the help of a Power Plate machine to add to her core strength and increase her power and agility on the court. Serena says “Off-court training is as important to me as on-court. With the Power Plate®, I’m able to accelerate my off-court training and maximize the benefits.”

“On tour, playing back-to-back matches is tough on your body. Being ready the next day is the difference between winning or losing. If I can accelerate the recovery and healing process, I have a definite advantage. With my Power Plate®, I have that advantage,” Williams says.

The star has spent the past year working out and dieting and we think its paying off. She told Look magazine: ‘I’ve lost about 2st, and I’m 5ft 4in and am now down to 9st. I gained a lot of weight in the X Factor house because I wasn’t exercising and was eating whatever I wanted. I just didn’t feel great in my clothes so I wanted to lose a bit.

‘I’m probably still massive compared to some singers out there, but I don’t want to lose any more. I’m not a naturally thin girl.

She added: ‘I bought a cross-trainer, because I hate running, and I try to do 50 minutes a day on it. I also do three sessions a week on the Power Plate at the gym.

‘I got really annoyed with the gym’s personal trainers who were always banging on about only eating protein at night, only fish, only vegetables.

Since last year’s X Factor show, Laura has been working with a team of talented producers and songwriters to help kick start her singing career. Her debut single will be released next week, but its already attracted over views 140,000 views on You Tube
