Austin Reaves might be one of the Los Angeles Lakers’ most important players, but his girlfriend, Jenna Barber, was not impressed with his workout form during his offseason vacation
Barber shared a hilarious video of Reaves and others working out during the couple’s vacation. The Lakers guard could be seen battling through a set of crunches before eventually falling on the ground, exhausted and covered in sweat

Barber made sure Reaves knew the woman performed better
“💪 Phys ED 😅 / Girls had way better form,” she captioned the post
The snap appeared to have originally been shared by LA-based trainer Ed Streit before Barber reposted it. While the exact location of the vacation is not known, Barber has shared several pictures and videos of their offseason vacation
Reaves certainly has got some reason to enjoy the downtime after a big year with the Lakers, and they rewarded him earlier this offseason with a four-year, $185 million maximum extension, which cemented his position as Luka Doncic’s running mate for years to come

Reaves has also been busy away from his vacation. He recently joined Luka and several teammates for a four-day team trip to Slovenia, where the group spent time together as they got ready for the upcoming season
Fortunately for the Lakers, Reaves’s crunch form should not be very concerning, considering how dramatically his game has improved since he came into the league as an undrafted free agent
And Barber was alongside him for nearly the entire journey
These two have been dating since 2014, after meeting during their high school years at Cedar Ridge High School in Newark, Arkansas. They have remained together since Reaves played collegiately at Wichita State and Oklahoma before he eventually made it to the NBA

Despite Reaves becoming one of the Lakers’ biggest stars, the couple have generally maintained a largely private life
Barber does share moments from their vacations and life together, and she has also supported Reaves during his basketball career. She even helped Anthony Davis prank Reaves earlier this year on Davis’s TBS Foul Play show
Reaves was convinced that a mistake during a fake charity competition had left him responsible for giving contestants two cars and $500,000, before Davis ultimately revealed the setup
This latest moment was far less stressful. Reaves could laugh off getting roasted by his girlfriend, but his basketball responsibilities will become more serious once training camp begins. With LeBron James no longer in LA, the Lakers have completely transitioned into the Doncic-Reaves era. Reaves’s new contract means the expectations will be sky-high since day one
And for now, he can enjoy the remainder of his vacation, even if his girlfriend believes his workout technique needs a lot of improvement
