Nine months after giving birth, Serena Williams is sharing her relatable post-partum fitness journey.
The Olympic gold medalist, 42, took another shot at fitting into her Valentino denim skirt in a hilarious Instagram reel she shared on Wednesday.
'Ok everyone, I have been working my [peach emoji] off!' Williams captioned the clip. 'Let's see what happens with my jean skirt. Can I fit it yet? Check it out!'
She squeezed into the skirt in front of her mirror, getting caught on her butt as she attempted to pull it up.
'Back by popular demand... or in my mind,' she said in the video. 'Ok, so I am going to try on my skirt again to see if it's any closer than it was four weeks ago. ... Honestly, I feel like it's gonna fit the same.'
