#TSRHealth: #SerenaWilliams has been using social media to showcase her snatched figure and workout routine, and now she is opening up about what has helped her on her journey. 
____________________________________
During an interview with the todayshow, the tennis legend shared that she has been taking GLP-1 medication to help with her weight loss. She says that after having her daughters, it became a struggle to achieve her weight loss goals.

She said, “As a woman, you go through different cycles in your life. No matter what I did — running, walking, I would walk for hours because they say that’s good. I literally was playing a professional sport — and I could never go back to where I needed to be for my health. Then, after my second kid, it just even got harder. So then I was like, ‘OK, I have to try something different.’”

Serena did not disclose which GLP-1 medication she’s been using. However, she shared that she’s dropped 31 pounds since starting the medication about a year ago. Regarding side effects, she said, “I put my body through a lot. I understand that there are lots of side effects, I just didn’t have any.”

She added, “A misconception is that it’s a shortcut. As an athlete and as someone that has done everything, I just couldn’t get my weight to where I needed to be at a healthy place — and believe me, I don’t take shortcuts.” (SWIPE)—(🎥: todayshow) ✍🏾: #TSRStaffJW
