Personal Trainer

Sharapova is a food lover. Being a sportsperson, she needs to be strong and cannot deprive herself of the essential foods. So, she eats all the food, by keeping a balance between the carbs and proteins. Maria likes to have three big meals in a day and also eats sweets or cookies, if she craves for them. If she is ever told to not to eat a particular food, then she binge on that food, even more. She also eats fresh fruits during the day.

Regarding workout, her number one activity is playing tennis itself. But, she does yoga and biking to stay away from boredom. To even keep her boredom miles away, she also does dancing. She takes a rope with her on a tour. As it is not possible to go with the usual workout, Maria does jumping ropes, while on a tour.
