Fitness and Bodybuilding Championship “Stars of the Volga Region” Penza September 26

Athletes from all cities of Russia are actively preparing for the championship of the Penza region in bodybuilding and fitness “Stars of the Volga Region”, which will be held in our city on September 26. Woman’s Day talked to the fair sex and found out how much it takes to get in perfect shape, and what victory means for fitness babies.

For a long time in the arena of female bodybuilding there has been an endless debate: who looks better – models with ideal shapes or “iron ladies”. Grace versus deep relief, delightful proportions versus mass – for a long time neither side managed to achieve an overwhelming advantage. Now at festivals and championships, girls perform in two main categories – “women’s body fitness” and “Bikini”. The performances of athletes in both categories can be seen on September 26 at the DK im. Dzerzhinsky, where the championship of the Penza region in bodybuilding and fitness “Stars of the Volga region” will take place.

How many years (months, days) have you been in the gym – 3 of the year.

The first time I decided to come to the gym … because I really wanted to pump up my ass, which, in fact, I have been doing for three years now. I started practicing more consciously after a year and a half, probably then I saw my first results. The place where my training began was an “old school” simple rocking chair. Now I train at the First Fitness club, where I work part-time.

I take part in similar tournaments … I started performing in 2014, the first competition “Mister Ural” was held in Ufa, where I got into the top ten. Then I went to the “Volga Region Stars” competition (Penza). Now I’m in preparation for the new fall 2015 season in the Fitness Bikini category. The plans include Penza, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg and, of course, native Ufa. I prefer the category “Fitness” (I will grow), since “Fitness Bikini” is a rather vague category, it is difficult to judge who is better.

Your diet before the competition: egg white, steamed breast, lean fish, cabbage, broccoli, zucchini, cucumber – in the last stage. Nothing else!

Thanks to his advice, help, just support, kind words, trainings have become more productive, and the result is even more noticeable.

At school age, we were assigned to the athletics section. We have dedicated 10 years to the “Queen of Sports”.

The first time I decided to come to the gym … Before that I tried various sports, but nothing “hooked”. Looking at how fitness is developing in the country and many new gyms are opening, I simply could not help but try myself in this area. It was hard work on myself, and I saw the first results after the first six months. But these were not only physical changes, my character changed along with the body! I want to emphasize that after such a short period of time, I felt “more alive” and became much more persistent in all spheres of life. My coach is my boyfriend, he is also my motivator. He has been training for many years and performs at international competitions, and this partially served as an impetus on the way to being called the Best in wrestling. The RunGym, which I work in, is very cozy and has a friendly atmosphere.

I take part in similar tournaments … first time. I think my uniform looks decent enough to take part in the competition.

The first time I decided to come to the gym … Having accidentally won a ticket to the first row to the seminar of the master of sports in bodybuilding Andrey Skoromny and listening excitedly about his life, I realized that real life begins where the comfort zone ends … And I decided to start training !!! (thanks, Andrey, for the motivation!). It is necessary to go to the dream with someone by the hand … My spouse turned out to be my support and main driving force, because there is always a temptation to surrender, but it is he who knows how to remind that work on oneself is the most difficult and not everyone can cope with it.

My sports life introduced me to a real coach Maria Burnina, who taught me to believe in myself in a short time!
