While Serena continued with her answer to sister’s question, Venus, meanwhile, took a step back to stand behind a speaking Serena. Explaining her workout, Serena said, “It’s a warmup. So, it’s not gonna be as intensive as some of these workouts that you guys did with, like Shawn Tee, Tracy Anderson, or definitely not Grigor Dimitrov.” While the Instagram live viewers hoped to listen to Serena, their focus was distracted by a hilarious dance of Venus.
