Bouchard on Bananas, Fitness


You may never possess the groundstrokes of Genie Bouchard, but you can train like the former Wimbledon finalist.

So what's the secret to Bouchard's fitness?

Watch: Nadal Named Spanish Olympic Flag Bearer

About six hours of training "five and a half days a week" and plenty of potassium from eating a bunch of bananas every day.

“I always have my energy bars and energy gels [on hand]. And bananas, definitely. All tennis players eat like five bananas a day,” Bouchard tells Self Magazine in a new interview.

Asked to select her dinner dream date, Bouchard chose an icon: Oprah.

"Someone that I’m really inspired by, and that I look up to, is Oprah," Bouchard tells Self. "It’s amazing how she created such an empire. I love those inspiring stories. I would just ask her what it was like and what she would say to herself to keep believing or keep going when times are tough.”
