“Being active is always going to be a part of my identity,” says Tim Henman, the veteran British tennis player who retired in 2007. He still maintains an active lifestyle and a fit physique. He attributes his fitness to his regular training routine. 

Speaking with Men’s Health, Henman revealed how he stays fit after retirement.

“I’ve got a gym at home, and I try to exercise pretty regularly because I feel much better for it.” 

Speaking further in the interview with Men's Health, added that he believes regular exercise benefits him both physically and mentally. But that doesn’t mean he indulges in an intense training regimen.

He owns dogs, so he walks them a lot. If he is working or at tournaments, Henman changes his training routine, which includes:

• Inclined walking on a treadmill
• Weight training
• Core workout.

“I’m not trying to run any marathons – I’m just trying to stay in relatively good shape,” concluded Henman.

Three elbow surgeries and one shoulder surgery make him cautious with joint-heavy exercises.

To maintain good posture and a strong back, he includes resistance-band exercises. In addition, to build core strength, Henman includes exercises such as:

• Side planks
• Planks 

Post-retirement, he considers himself lucky if he gets on the court twice a year. On the contrary, there was a time when he played tennis every day. Golf is Tim’s new love, but it doesn’t mean his love for tennis has faded.

Tim Henman’s next chapter in tennis  

Henman is closely tied to tennis as a television analyst and commentator. In fact, he is on the board of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, which stages Wimbledon. According to Runner’s World, he will return as vice-captain of Team Europe at the Laver Cup in September. The event will also take place at The O2 Arena in London between 25 and 27 September 2026.

“I’ll be looking at the way that players practice, the way they prepare and then also the way they play on court," according to Lavercup.com. "When you talk about the matchup against a very strong Team World, it’s going to be small margins. It’s about getting the absolute very best out of each individual player.”

It will be interesting to see how players perform under Henman's guidance at the 2026 Laver Cup.
