Namita Nayyar:
Being a mother of two, how do you like to spend most of your day now?
Ashley Harkleroad:
I am the type of mom that enjoys being active with my kids rather than sitting around watching TV or reading all day. I have very physical kids and I noticed the more tired they are, night after a long day of outdoor activities then they sleep better! Added plus, I’m always staying fit and burning calories therefor we all are feeling good and sleeping well!
Namita Nayyar:
A healthy breakfast for would look like?
Ashley Harkleroad:
A healthy breakfast is a high protein breakfast. I enjoy carbs but I have learned I like to indulge a little every night with a small dessert, therefore during the day I keep it light with as little carbs as possible.
Namita Nayyar:
Your biggest tennis inspiration?
Ashley Harkleroad:
Kim Clijsters was always my biggest inspiration. I loved her aggressive game style, I love her attitude. She was always the nicest girl on tour. in the end she retired then came back after having her daughter and won the US OPEN. Such an inspiration to be able to come back after having a baby and winning a grand slam. I’m mostly inspired by how well she balanced motherhood and being a sportswomen.
Namita Nayyar:
Having retired from professional tennis, what routine do you follow to stay fit & strong?
Ashley Harkleroad:
I stay fit these days by cross training. I enjoy a little bit of this and that. Two of my main passions are hiking. I love hiking, I love being outdoors and southern California has some of the most beautiful hiking trails. The other obsession I love doing and have always enjoyed (I even did a teaching train course) is Bikram yoga. Not affiliated with the man Bikram anymore. Bikram is a super intense detox yoga workout and when I finish I feel like a million bucks!!!!
