Serena Williams Shows Off Eye-Popping Abs in New Photos

by

Serena Williams’ fitness routine is an ace.

23-time Grand Slam tennis champion almost blinded the internet with enthusiasm as she flaunted her chiseled abs after a workout session.

On Instagram, July 11, Serena posted a set of selfies in front of mirrors, showcasing her defined abs while wearing an all-black exercise ensemble that included a sports bra and leggings. The caption read, “Exercising and improving my poses.

Following the posting of the photos, the Wimbledon champion received an outpouring of support from well-known personalities. Comedian Amy Schumer acknowledged Serena’s legendary standing by commenting with fire emojis and stating, “GOAT,” which stands for Greatest Of All Time.

Reality TV star La La Anthony chimed in, too, writing, “Always preparing for summer!!!!!”

After Serena, who has children Olympia (7 years old) and Adira River (22 months), together with husband Alexis Ohanian, announced an update that was met with enthusiasm, it’s important to note that this achievement came after many months of dedicated work following the birth of their second daughter in August 2023.

In a January 2024 Instagram Reel, the founder of Wyn Beauty expressed that she was getting reacquainted with her routine after a break. She picked up weights, stating that while this wasn’t her standard weight, it would suffice until she regained her usual fitness level.

Alongside posting about her workouts, the Olympic gold medalist frequently updated her Instagram followers on her weight loss experience by frequently posting about her attempts to wear a denim skirt from Valentino, which she purchased during her pregnancy with Adira. In one post, she expressed her frustration at not seeing enough progress.

In a May 2024 Instagram video, Serena commented, “I’ve been working out intensely, but I’m unsure if the progress is showing.” She struggled to put on a skirt in the video, admitting, “I can’t say I’m pleased about this. It’s coming along. It’s nearly there.

She went on, stressing her determination not to yield, “I feel like I could weep, but I won’t. Instead, I’ve decided to cut down on my snacking.

By December, the athlete had reached her goal and demonstrated the “final version” or “culmination” of the denim skirt fitting.

In her Instagram post, Serena remarked, “It’s perfect. Just a tad more and it wouldn’t be,” followed by “I should acknowledge my own efforts.

Tammy Slaton, who is known for her role in TLC’s 1,000-Lb. Sisters, aspired not to be defined solely by that identity indefinitely.

In a recent episode of her show from April 2025, the 38-year-old shared that she has lost approximately 500 pounds, currently tipping the scales at 238. At my heaviest, I weighed over 700 pounds.

In 2022, she had weight loss surgery (specifically, bariatric surgery), a decision that her doctor commended as appropriate for her.

In October 2024, Dr. Eric Smith told People that Tammy has consistently shown her commitment to adopting sustainable lifestyle changes to fully leverage the advantages of her surgery. He highlighted the significance of making minor daily adjustments for both her ongoing progress and long-term achievement. Clearly, Tammy is deeply invested in her health transformation.

It seems as if every time Jelly Roll hits a red carpet, he’s down a sizable slice of weight.

Speaking on Pat McAfee’s “Big Night Aht” show in April 2025, the artist formerly known as Jason DeFord revealed that he had lost a significant amount of weight. He was initially 540 pounds but weighed only 357 pounds this morning. His goal is to shed another 100 pounds and then fulfill his dream of skydiving with his wife in Sweden!

The 6-foot-1 artist openly acknowledged the necessity of transforming his eating habits to achieve his desired goals. “I’ve consistently maintained that obesity is intrinsically linked with mental wellbeing,” he shared during an October 2024 episode of On Purpose With Jay Shetty. “I understand how simple it seems for others to say, ‘Just stop eating so much, just exercise, it’s a breeze!’ I wish I could view food in the same light.

In my perspective, the once seemingly insurmountable challenge of shedding excess pounds has become more manageable with each passing day. My lifestyle adjustments are yielding positive results and I’m making steady progress.

He stated that he is dedicated to his learning process, taking it seriously, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water, enduring cold plunges, maintaining a balanced diet, and overall doing well.

Al Roker wasn’t kidding around with the title of his cookbook Recipes to Live By.

After shedding a challenging 100 pounds over time, the veteran TODAY weatherman now embodies his message by taking at least 10,000 steps every day, maintaining a careful diet, and making physical activity part of his daily routine.

In a June 2025 interview with People, he expressed his belief, “A little is always better than none.” He suggested that while some might aim for marathons or weightlifting competitions, many individuals simply seek a fitness level that enhances their overall well-being.

In 2002, Roker opted for gastric bypass surgery as a starting point for his health transformation, yet he was quick to point out that there’s no easy fix: “There’s no quick solution.

Surgery is “not the end,” he advised. “You’re still going to have to put in the work.” 

Previously recognized for his “tush push,” former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has recently been displaying his well-toned physique.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but notice the transformation of this NFL veteran. While he was always in peak physical condition during his illustrious 13-year career, weighing a formidable 295 pounds, it seems he’s shed at least 25 pounds since then! In fact, during the 2025 Truist Championship pro-am golf tournament in Philly, he casually mentioned that he’s now around 270. Quite an impressive feat, if you ask me!

Everything included in his retirement strategy is that he intends to weigh around 250 to 260 and be content with his appearance without having abs, as he told GQ in June 2024. He also mentioned that he’ll still maintain some of his impressive stature.

One crucial element for the father of four daughters, married to Kylie Kelce, was ensuring he could match their energy levels.

After tipping the scales at 277, he expressed relief. “My back already feels improved,” he said. “Same for my knees. I hope to be even more agile in playing with my kids by shedding another 20 pounds.

For me, moving my family from the United States to Ireland was more than just switching landscapes. It was a significant shift that brought about change in my life.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d say: “In an exciting update from March 2025, I’ve experienced notable weight loss! This transformation is partly attributed to my journey managing diabetes with Mounjaro. One unexpected perk of this treatment is the side effect of weight loss.

Previously on “View,” the cohost had recently bought more tailored outfits in Dublin as she noted, “I’m among those who have always struggled with weight, and now that I’ve moved from XL or 2XL to a size large, I find it surprising.

In the year 2022, Jazz Jennings embarked on a journey focused on diet and fitness. Two years after starting this journey, she shared on Instagram that she had finally started prioritizing her own health after many years of neglect. She admitted that she had allowed her eating habits to decline significantly. She expressed great pride in her weight loss and felt that her newfound confidence was shining brightly.

Back in August 2024, the celebrated star from “I Am Jazz” announced that she had shed nearly 100 pounds and expressed immense pride over her achievements.

It turns out Christopher Schwarzenegger is a chip off the ol’ muscly block.

Among Arnold Schwarzenegger and his ex-wife Maria Shriver’s four shared children, the youngest one stayed out of sight as Arnold shed 30 pounds. However, he’s now active again.

He admitted during the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in May 2025 that it wasn’t a quick fix, but rather a process of trial and error. He emphasized that eliminating bread from his diet had a significant impact. Remarkably, he added, when comparing past and present photos, he doesn’t feel like he’s reached the ‘after’ stage yet.

Meanwhile, Christopher did not let a certain seven-time Mr. Olympia in on his plan.

Arnold shared with The Times in June 2025 that he never directly told his son about his weight issue. Instead, they consistently offered healthy meals and encouraged gym visits. Surprisingly, the son himself decided to get lean. Now, this self-discipline and motivation are truly inspiring, as it was always Arnold’s belief that the change would eventually come from within, and it did.

Chrissy Metz isn’t fond of running except when necessary (like when being pursued), but she enthusiastically supports strength training. Working out is an essential component of the routine that led to her shedding a total of 100 pounds.

The former star of “This Is Us” shared with DailyMail.com in April 2025, “My goal is to grow old healthily and powerfully, and this drive fuels everything I do.

To Metz, aging gracefully means “staying strong and flexible,” so she tries to be active every day.

In the 1990s, John Goodman, playing his role on Roseanne, was a large and cuddly character, tipping the scales at over 400 pounds as he revealed to David Letterman in 2010. However, by the time The Conners premiered in 2018, the family’s patriarch Dan Conner had undergone some changes in his lifestyle.

In 2007, Goodman decided to give up alcohol as a starting point towards improving his health. He also enjoyed engaging in activities such as boxing and taking his dogs for walks.

In 2010, he shared with People that although he was perspiring quite a bit, he wasn’t feeling overwhelmed. He revealed that he managed to shed approximately 100 pounds by exercising six days a week and eliminating sugar from his meals.

Overall, the 6-foot-2 actor has lost about 200 pounds since he was at his peak weight.

In an interview with ABC News back in 2016, Goodman shared that he had grown weary and fed up with seeing himself. He explained that even the routine act of shaving could become a struggle because he didn’t feel like looking at his reflection anymore. It became potentially hazardous, he added.

Oprah Winfrey has been sharing the highs and lows of her weight loss journey for decades.

From wearing skinny jeans and pushing a cart carrying 67 pounds of fat to impress the audience on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1988, to purchasing a share in WeightWatchers in 2015, she has consistently leveraged her influence to sustain the dialogue.

In March 2024, during a special episode titled “Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution” on Oprah’s show, she disclosed that in addition to eating less and staying physically active, she was also using medication to manage her weight.

“It’s not just one thing,” she said of her secret to staying fit, “it’s multiple things.”

In her own words, Oprah’s objective with this initiative is to gradually eliminate the negative connotations, embarrassment, and criticism associated with being overweight. She aims to prevent others from being judged for their weight loss choices, as well as to discourage self-shaming.

Lizzo simply wanted to feel better from head to toe.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I discovered that regular exercise became an integral part of my journey towards mental well-being. Instead of striving for physical transformation to avoid self-loathing and disgust when looking in the mirror, I realized that exercise serves as a powerful tool for shifting my mindset. In a heartfelt TikTok post from May 2023, the “Good as Hell” singer echoed this sentiment, explaining that through working out, she has been able to focus on cultivating a strong mental state rather than obsessing over her physical appearance.

In a TikTok video posted in January 2025, she openly admitted that she was embarking on a deliberate weight-loss path, with her main aim being to become the optimal version of herself.

At the conclusion of my weight loss process, I won’t be seen as thin by any stretch, Lizzo explained. In terms of the BMI scale and internet critics, I will still be labeled morbidly obese and called ‘big-bodied.’ However, I will find happiness within myself.

In just a moment, the video shifted to Lizzo joyfully proclaiming, “I’m happy!” as she displayed a reduction of 16% in her body fat and a decrease of 10.5 points in her Body Mass Index (BMI), which was shown on a screen.

She emphasized, “This serves as a reminder that you’re capable of achieving absolutely anything if you put your heart into it.” Now, perhaps it’s time for you to establish fresh objectives.
