Washington
(ANI):
Retired
Russian
professional
tennis
player
Anna
Kournikova
loves
to
exercise
as
it
gets
all
the
negative
energy
out
of
her
system.
Kournikova
does
have
to
keep
in
shape
for
her
job
as
a
tennis
pro,
but
the
main
reason
she
loves
exercising
so
much
is
because
it
helps
her
to
remain
positive.
"I
feel
great
when
I
sweat
and
get
all
the
negative
energy
out," People
mag
quoted
her
as
saying
on
Wednesday
Mar
12
night
at
the
opening
of
KSwiss's
new
store
in
Santa
Monica,
Calif.
As
an
athlete,
it
is
important
to
focus
on
doing
the
"weights
and
machines
to
keep
the
muscle
mass
on",
but
she
finds
that
exercising
has
other
benefits
too.
"It's
all
about
building
muscle
and
feeling
good
about
yourself,"
she
said.
"I
do
some
cardio
but
very
little,
just
to
relieve
the
stress
and
sweat,"
she
added.
Anna,
who
has
had
to
face
some
of
the
world"s
top-ranking
tennis
players,
revealed
that
she
has
also
had
to
face
some
tough
battles
off
the
court,
such
as
the
time
of
Internet
speculation
about
her
weight
loss,
which
she
says,
"really
doesn't
affect
me."
"You
know
that
you're
a
public
person.
You
know
what
you're
getting
yourself
into
and
you
just
have
to
be
okay
with
yourself,"
she
said.
"It's
just
somebody's
opinion
and
you
just
can't
focus
on
that,"
she
added.
When
asked
about
her
relationship
with
longtime
boyfriend
Enrique
Iglesias,
Anna
said:
"everything
is
good."
