Since childhood, I was an active child: games in the yard (dodgeball, rubber bands, badminton), karate, basketball, dancing. But after surgery on the cervical spine, I was exempted from physical education.
So I cooled off to physical education. And no matter how much my brother tried to drag me into sports (and he is a karateka with a black belt, a coach and a judge), I did not want to listen to him. I was not "burning" with it.
But the day came when I realized (at 29) that I needed sports to cope with a mentally difficult period.
I did not have complexes about my figure, I was comfortable in it, everyone said "how thin you are." But at that moment, I felt that I needed to change a little. I went to the gym to a trainer I knew.
The regime was strict. The diet was very limited, it was hard for me, but I held on. The training was at the maximum of possibilities, I caught the adrenaline and crawled out of the gym with a smile from ear to ear. But then I didn't understand that I shouldn't force myself like that. When I saw the photo after 2 months of training, I was amazed by the result.
That's how I got into fitness.
