I was a ballet dancer as a teenager and ran around constantly, was thin. Then at sixteen a growth spurt. Huge body change. Same running around, same diet, same everything, but suddenly a womanly body and muscles. After I stopped dancing I discovered jogging and working with weights, more muscles. The Williams' sisters bodies are perfectly normal for their body type. People don't understand body types.
