Jelena Dokic Rebuilds Fitness Balance After May 17 Travel Stretch

jelena dokic said on May 17 that her work commitments and constant travel had left her with “much energy for much else right now,” and that she was not in a consistent stretch with fitness, exercise and moving her body. The 43-year-old said she would get back to “consistency and balance” in her routine.

She told her 342,000 Instagram followers that she tried her best and would not beat herself up, while also saying she needed to find a balance again and take care of her own physical health more. Dokic described her work as “absolutely” loved, “so fulfilling and rewarding.”

Dokic's May 17 update

Her post came after a May 8 message in which she told followers to think “small, weekly, habits and consistency over perfection,” and to choose “progress and growth over perfect unrealistic standards.” That framing carried into the May 17 update, where she said, “I will get back to it and back to work on consistency and balance.”

Dokic has also been working through frequent travel, keynote speaking engagements and broadcast work. She underwent surgery in December 2025 to remove a large fibroid, adding a health backdrop to the routine she says she is trying to steady.

May 15 and April updates

The May 17 post followed the May 15 release of Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story on Netflix in Australia. In April, Dokic told that she and boyfriend Yane Veselinov do not plan to start a family, while saying she was open to adoption in a couple of years.

Her recent comments point to the same message across different platforms: she is not trying to present a perfect routine, only a workable one. For readers following her recovery and public health updates, the next step is the one she named herself — getting back to consistency, without pretending the disruption was not there.
