The dream has become a reality as one of the most successful TRX-Club Pantera fitness clubs in Zhytomyr. Lyudmyla shared her hobbies and secrets about achieving her goal with Zhytomyr.Travel
«We do not often follow statistics, but some of them are simply astounding. The World Health Organization has conducted research on the factors on which health depends. It turns out that human health depends 50% on lifestyle, only 20% – on heredity, 20% on ecology and 10% – on the level of medical care. Hence the generally accepted international definition of health, as set out in the Preamble to the WHO Charter, approved in 1948: «Health is a state of complete physical, spiritual and social well-being, not just the absence of disease or physical disability.» As for me, a healthy person is one who gets up in the morning, works throughout the day and goes to bed in the evening feeling light, strength, energy, both physical and psychological»
«I have been very illfull since childhood, and my genetics were not perfect. Even at university I was released from physical education. If I listened to the doctors, even now I would not be able to play sports at all. But ten years ago, after the death of my father, who had a stroke and left us at 59, my husband and I began to think about a healthy lifestyle. For ten years now, I have been constantly studying this issue and working not only with my body, but also with my mind. That is, I am looking for my universal formula of a healthy person. My husband and I changed everything in our life: we began to go to bed in time, to eat properly, to run, to participate in competitions. It’s all easy if your family is helping you, and I thank my husband for his support. He, by the way, reduced his weight by 30 kg during this period»
«I clearly follow the daily schedule. Everything is simple for me: lifting up at five in the morning, during quarantine – at six. Then a light breakfast, a jog. After that I do housework and then an online workout. Then lunch, back to work and online training again. At 6 pm dinner, time left for books, and at 9 pm we go to bed. When you start to follow the regime, there is enough time»
«If people want to change their lifestyles, mistakes are sometimes made. The most common mistake is when people want to change everything right away: they begin to sharply reduce their daily calorie intake and exercise too much. And as a result, stress for the body, and sometimes illness. What to do? To act gradually, changes in nutrition do not immediately translate – first, the quality of the products, not the quantity. To start training better at first in a light mode, every other day to give the body a chance to get used to it. When you have been training for a long time,just like me, you can go to daily classes. Even now, with a long experience, I sometimes change the type of load depending on various factors»
«In nature, I have always been a leader. When I came to the conclusion that I wanted to be a trainer, I immediately set myself the ambitious goal of opening my own fitness club. Eight years have passed. All these years I have not just dreamed, but studied, collected information, attended special fitness forums, business conferences, read special literature. In the family I always felt the support of my husband, from the first day he helped me, motivated, encouraged and said: «You can do everything!». By the way, now the slogan of our club «You can do everything!». And it is not just a slogan – the whole story»
«When I started my fitness career, I could do quite a bit. Training for two to three days of intensive practice with theoretical blocks. It was difficult for me because I was often the oldest in the group. It was hard to just work one hour in coach mode, and two workouts in a row and ranks. Now I can work all day. But that’s not all: at this time I master not just coaching, but an interesting and rather difficult sport – obstacle courses. Today I have the status of a multiple medalist and participant of all-Ukrainian and world obstacle races («Wild Racing», «Spartan Race», «Race Nation», «OCR European Championships», «Bison Race», «Be More Human»). All this in my 37 years. When clients firstly come to me saying they can’t do something, I say to them, «You can do anything! You just don’t know it yet»
«Now our club has recruited to work during self-isolation, as everyone went online. However, this is not my element: I love live communication, I love seeing people live – how their muscles work. At home, people begin to do the exercises as they understand it. Often do the exercises carefully, but not correctly. This is dangerous because improperly distributed load can lead to injury. When training begins with the club under the supervision of a qualified professional, the chances of reaping benefits are increased many times over. In addition, coaching tips prevent injuries, and psychological support creates additional motivation. I love my fitness club, I love the atmosphere it created there. It’s not just the atmosphere of a fitness supermarket. «TRX-Club Pantera» – sports center, sports family, comfort and communication. Often people came to us to just talk and drink coffee. And this I miss a lot now»
«Life has not stopped, and you can also work online. I ran my first online marathon two years ago. I have been pushing for its realization just by my clients. Nine marathons have been held today. The actions of such on-line marathons are to promote healthy eating and keeping the essentials of a healthy lifestyle. Many participants took part, many positive results, many changes in people’s lives. If at least one of the ten participants after the marathon embarks on the path of a healthy lifestyle, I am glad. I believe the goals have been achieved and I cannot say that nutrition is the basis of a healthy lifestyle. This is just one of the Components, and there are many of them: sleep, physical activity, nutrition, psycho-emotional state, water consumption, tempering, even self-realization – it is also important. I have always been, and still am constantly afraid to get a «four». People and victories inspire me to fulfill my dreams. When something goes wrong, you spend a month on hard work – and then everything goes well. That’s cool!»
«Everything must be seen in a positive way. What is happening to people now must form an understanding that health is a value and must be taken care of. In order not to get sick, you need to move more, eat properly, get better sleep. Then doctors will need to contact less often, and we will look into pharmacies only for the sake of purchasing vitamins»
«I love Zhytomyr for simplicity. I come from Novohrad-Volynsky, and Zhytomyr I like because it is not as big as Kyiv, but at the same time not as small as Novohrad»
