Continuation of the story of a losing weight "Russian woman"

Hello! And again, Anya is in touch with you. I am a girl with the figure of a Russian woman who has experienced all the popular weight loss programs. You are already familiar with the reviews about some of them. It's time to take apart the rest.

Perfect ass

usmanovateam.ru Ekaterina Usmanova. Professional athlete, participant and winner of fitness and bodybuilding competitions. She never lost weight, on the contrary, her goal was always to gain muscle mass and relief.

In 2015, Ekaterina opened the online training service "University of Fitness".

Fitness subscription from Ekaterina Usmanova costs 3,900 rubles. per month, "Course on the creation of an ideal priests" from 3 300 rubles.

The course includes 5 workouts per week, which are designed to reduce weight no more than 10 kg. Access to the course is closed at the end of the paid period. The workouts are given in the text with the video in the cut for the exercises.

There are dietary recommendations, but this is more like an electronic cookbook, and not the usual menu for the day. But at your service is a nutritionist who can compose a personal menu for a separate sum of 5,000 rubles. What is in it, I cannot say, I did not order, in my opinion, the price is somehow unjustified. But a whole list of food supplements is recommended for use, including protein amino acids and active fat burners. I didn't buy them for myself either, I'm sorry, I didn't come as a jock - to build muscle, my goals are simpler, but my health is the same.

Consultations are also announced, and questions can be asked to a whole team of specialists - a nutritionist, psychologist, doctor, curator, nutritionist - this is also a nutritional specialist. But in reality, there are many comments and questions on the site without answers or with formal unsubscriptions from the curators. And such small troubles are everywhere.

A list of sports equipment necessary for training is given, by the way, rather big, but the list, as it turns out later, is not complete, and you sit like that on a step platform with dumbbells for 2-4-6 kg, looking at the kettlebell in the hands of the trainer, which is on the list, as in training - not a word, and you think bad.

The load is given a serious one, if you take a three-month course at once, then it is designed first for gaining muscle mass, and then for drying, in order to create a relief. In my opinion, this is more likely for those who already have good physical fitness, or did not take a long break between workouts.

Well, as mentioned above, I don’t like switching parts of the video with individual exercises. Another unpleasant surprise was the difference between the external part of the site, and what appears to the eyes in the personal account after registration. As the saying goes, "two big differences."

It is very inconvenient to use your personal account, it is difficult to find information, some kind of everything is antediluvian. It seems that Usmanova made all this back in 2015, when she opened it, and did not go there anymore, as they nailed it, she is holding on, and the money, nevertheless, is dripping.

Probably, her courses are bought more because of the Usmanov brand. It is not entirely clear why you need to fill out a huge questionnaire at the very beginning, if there is no smell of individual work there.

Unfortunately, only after payment I realized that the system itself does not suit me, I am afraid to swing without a coach, because where am I then, except at VDNKh, instead of a Collective Farm Woman with a Worker to stand, and no one will take responsibility for this disgrace …

Booty like a nut

vk.com/vixfitness with Katya Vicks, a 23-year-old fitness trainer from the Rostov region.

Katya graduated from the Ben Weider College of Bodybuilding and Fitness in St. Petersburg. Together with her boyfriend, she launched a startup combining fitness and online training.

The course "Pop is like a nut in 21 days from the Kati Vicks School of Nutrition and Fitness" cost me 2,000 rubles. In the course - 3 workouts per week, a nutrition plan, articles, consultations and a lot of thematic content - in a closed community on VKontakte.

Access to training records is blocked 7 days after the end of the paid period.

A distinctive feature of this course is that the trainer not only does the entire workout with you, but also does it online in VK. If you don't have time, you can practice recording.

In training, there is a lot of communication, Katya reads the messages of the participants, responds to them, in general, harnesses them for a very long time, and then also pauses during training, starting to explain in detail and show where we are pulling. But if it does start, then I generally feel Spanish shame from her. All these her iha, yuhu, oh kamon, hey and opa-let's go freeze me straight.

I will also say a few words about food. The menu is no frills, very simple, so simple that you have the same dish for lunch and dinner. Here, as they say, Katya, thank you for your honesty, very few people can cook for themselves 250 grams of fresh food for each meal.

In general, an interesting format, Katya is sincere, active, gives a lot of strength and energy to her groups. But my butt is still that nut, for 21 days the promised miracle did not happen to her.

Perfect body laboratory

bodylab.ru/melo/ The Ideal Body Laboratory BodyLab project was launched in 2014 by professional concert director Anastasia Anisimova, her husband, in collaboration with the already known Ekaterina Usmanova. Now the face of the course Natalia Merlot is the winner of international fitness competitions.

The cost of a subscription to Natalia Merlot's course is 3,900 rubles. for a month, but in fact you can buy it for 2,500 rubles. Three workouts per week is a list of exercises with separate videos.

There is a menu for every day. There are no consultations on the site, only in a closed VK group.

With training, I didn’t work out right away. Firstly, to get access to them, you have to fill out a very detailed questionnaire with photos in three angles for a long time, secondly, they are dubbed into Russian, which somehow I didn't like right away, and thirdly, it turned out without any warning, that a bunch of additional equipment is required: all sorts of elastic bands, inclined benches and dumbbells "with the right weight." I’m still wondering, with what?

Why then did I fill out a huge questionnaire, which clearly states that the complex is needed not for the gym, but for exercising at home. Yes, and rubber bands can somehow still be understood and forgiven, but the exercises, exercises, could it be found?

For example, in one of the workouts, an exercise is given in which you need to lunge forward, transferring the weight from one leg to the other without interruption, and at the same time move forward 10 meters. There are two options, or change the house, or workout. The second seems like a smarter solution.

But on the other hand, only with them I found the function of freezing classes, for a period from 7 days to 1 year, it is convenient, you never know, I got sick or the plans changed. The payment term for the subscription will be automatically extended for the duration of the freeze.

In any case, 1,400 calories and three workouts a week will always do the trick, only in this case I would like to ask why 3,900 rubles were paid for. There is a lot of such kindness and for free on the Internet, and the reviews of celebrities who allegedly do this way, I, to put it mildly, caused great doubts, given the direct attitude of the organizers of the service to show business.

The results of trial and error, or which program is better?

So how did it end, you ask me. How to make an adequate choice out of all this and get the desired result as comfortably and quickly as possible.

What is most important to me, and I think, to you too, if you are an ordinary woman who wants to look like candy, and for this she trains at home, and there, what a bad luck, there is no super equipment, no home gym, no winter garden with swimming pool. But there is a husband who needs to be fed normally, and children who cannot be left for a long time. Ultimately, it all comes down to just a few of the most important criteria.

1. Complete workouts for the home. This is when a normal video, with a coach who is with you all the time, with explanations in human language. Your workouts should be completely appropriate for your home workout. Which automatically means: no steps 10 meters into the distance, sudden sports equipment, and with maximum effect.
2. Health care. My health is, perhaps, the most important thing. Moreover, I will emphasize separately, not only physical, but also mental. I want to receive not only benefits, but also the joy of training, nutrition and communication that the coach offers. Moreover, it is important to be able to adjust the workout to fit your particular characteristics, be it diastasis, varicose veins, or even more breastfeeding.
3. Price and quality. Yes, and here too, as always, I want to get all the best for the least amount. By the best offer, I mean the convenience of the platform and the maximum number of options included in the package. Here Natalya Kuzmich obviously wins, who at a very pleasant price is in no way inferior, and in many respects even surpasses persons well-known in this field. By the way, I can't help but mention #Frenzy drying. The service is very high quality, growing from season to season and currently the only one who has a full-fledged mobile application.
4. The devil, as usual, is in the details. For all the external similarities, all courses are actually different. And it's not about bench presses and squats, no one has invented anything new here, like, in fact, not in oatmeal in the morning. For me personally, the difference lies in the approach to my work, in relation to people and conscientiousness.

My personal choice is Natalya Kuzmich and #Secta. #Sect has a very high-quality offer, and the lack of workload can always be compensated for by switching to another, more loaded program of theirs. Kuzmich wins significantly in price and, as it seemed to me, gives an ideal format specifically for housewives, everything is tailored for real life, but at the same time she remains at a professional level, does not go down to the pots.

I can safely recommend them, and I myself plan to return to training in the near future!
