In the video, Naomi is seen performing a core exercise so intense, it serves as a reminder of the demanding training that pro athletes undergo every day. With her shoulder blades and feet balanced on gym equipment, her entire midsection—yes, the part that delivered a baby a year and a half ago—remains suspended in midair, while a woman stands on her stomach! But it doesn’t stop there—Naomi adds a challenging twist by lifting one leg, maintaining her balance with just her shoulder blades and one foot.

Fans went wild in the comments, praising the former world No. 1’s incredible strength and control. One fan exclaimed, “Mama, a woman standing on top of YOU!” while another wrote, “That’s some serious core strength.” Others couldn’t help but cheer her on, saying, “We love a strong core queen” and “Yes! You got strong core and glutes!!!!!” One excited fan even predicted, “Mark my words, 2025 is going to be a breakout year for you. Can’t wait to see you on the court—go get that AO title!”

The two-time Australian Open champion Osaka will begin her 2025 season at the ASB Classic in Auckland—marking the first time in eight years she’ll start the season with a tournament outside of Australia.
