Injured Kvitova gets creative with water workouts

The Czech is taking to the sea while her foot fracture heals.

Published Dec 13, 2016

Petra Kvitova's spirits are still high despite a stress fracture in her right foot setting her back at least two weeks during what should be a very active off season.

Instead of letting it get her down, the world No. 11 has branched out with her fitness options, while out on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. First, she took to the pool for some laps (with a snorkel), and then hopped into a kayak.

If you've ever gone kayaking, you know it's not your easiest or most casual option for fun. The effort of propelling the kayak forward burns your arms more than any gym workout ever can.

Along with the water drills, the 26-year-old is working on getting closer and closer to the court.

At least the world No. 11's upper body will remain as ripped as ever for 2017.
