The COVID-19 pandemic has forced people all over the world, including famous athletes, to spend a majority of their time indoors. While players like Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic have been using Instagram live to chat about their life and experiences, Venus and Serena Williams are being more fitness-oriented with their social media activity.
In an intense live video on Serena Williams’ Instagram page, she was seen sweating it out with her sister in a 40-minute long session. The 38-year-old revealed that she got the inspiration to do the live session from her sister, who has been posting daily workout sessions for almost two months.
The exercises they did included:

After the fierce session, Serena revealed that it was just her warmup for the day, and that she would follow it up with some cardio - while also focusing on her treatment.
Venus, on the other hand, looked in a cheerful mood throughout the session. She giggled her way through the workout and even tried to distract her sister at the start with some dance moves.

Venus did eventually don the big sister role expertly though, showering praise on Serena Williams in the build-up to the workout. She called the 23-time Slam champion the “greatest tennis player to ever exist”.
Serena Williams is NOT missing the court
In a light discussion with her sister at the beginning of the session, Serena Williams shockingly admitted that she has not been missing the tennis court during the lock-down.
Serena Williams might not be missing the tennis court, but the fans definitely miss seeing her on it.
