Los Angeles Lakers guard Sasha Vujacic has under gone a new training regiment this off season, he’s training with his girlfriend Maria Sharapova at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Maria is down there training for the upcoming US Open and was able to convince the guard to try a different kind of workout.

Now I know you’re thinking Ok Sasha will be the best tennis player in the NBA next season but he’s actually on a basketball court training, not the tennis court. He’s with his girl for the moral support, someone to push him harder while training. I’m sure the after practice benefits helped in making his decision.

What the media hasn’t led on too is that Maria has also decided to help train bloggers in their promotional efforts. Here’s her first attempt in seeing if her training methods work. 12 links for 12 pictures, enjoy!
