Who of modern people does not go to the gym? Probably, many of you have been going to the same gym for years, where, with the help of professional instructors or on your own, you keep your body in shape. Public figures are no less demanding of their appearance. However, due to constant filming, traveling, photo sessions, it is more difficult for them to allocate at least half an hour for training in a busy schedule. Alexander Pryanikov is just that. Despite the fact that he had to deal with enormous physical exertion, at the moment there is no question of going to the gym regularly. The organizers of the "Beauty for a Million" project decided to fix this and invited the showman for a training session in the "Air" fitness room. How it went and what surprised Alexander - read in his fresh diary!

When I saw the photos of the "Air" gym, where the organizers invited me to train, I realized that it was equipped specifically for CrossFit. True, I did not come to this idea myself, my daughter suggested. There was nothing in the photo that I expected to see in the gym. Free space without treadmills, shells, dumbbells. What can be done there - I could not even imagine. The organizers also remained silent.

I do not shy away from physical activity. If you only knew how we were drilled at the drama school! The choreography teacher was a real ballerina from the Bolshoi Theater. She didn’t let anyone down!

And then I got to Broadway. Including due to its good physical shape. Here classes at the ballet machine continued, but regular performances were added to them. Absolutely all musical artists needed this, since our task was to maintain the high level for which Broadway shows were famous!

The body gradually adapts to physical activity, even then "asks" for them. But over time, I abandoned all this, now is far from the same Broadway youth with a toned torso. Working on television and radio is a little different, here you really don't go too far in terms of training.

But on my life path there was a project "Beauty for a Million". I managed to get acquainted with many procedures and manipulations, it was my turn to take care of my body.

It was thanks to the persistence of the organizers that my first visit to the Vozdukh gym took place. And this place turned out to be very colorful. Especially the meeting with the instructor Ulyana. The woman to be looked for! I associate her image with the heroes of American films about the army - a real lump of muscles!

Having exchanged a couple of welcome phrases with Ulyana, I realized that a quiet life for my body was over. It took me only 20 minutes of training to make my body in pain for the next few days. Within five minutes from the beginning of the lesson, my strength began to leave me, and my body was out of control and stopped obeying me.

Of course, the muscles are not the same. My arsenal of physical activity consists only of the bar, which I do for five minutes, but I also manage to skip it. But even thanks to this minimum, I managed to drive fat from the abdomen and remove the belly. I even notice that real abs cubes are gradually beginning to appear through the fat!

I don't know if I can go to the gym again on my own. Perhaps only if the organizers of the project apply penalties to me. But even then I'll think about it! (Laughs).

project coordinator's comment: For a long time we could not persuade Alexander to attend a workout in the gym. All his objections and excuses were somehow related to his image and his reputation. Allegedly, the procedures at the beautician are not enough for him, and now there is also stretching. I confess that I don't even understand why he connected fitness classes with stretching? But when he saw his coach Ulyana, I think his opinion about fitness changed. The training was actually quite extensive and really productive. After 25 minutes of the lesson, it was clear that Alexander was “ready”. There is a chance that he will not repeat such an experience, but he will definitely think about improving his physical shape and increasing activity! Alice Framm

daughter Polina's comment: Dad really benefited from participating in the project. He began to take his health more seriously, his dietary habits changed, and he began to do the bar every day. The organizers of the project had been persuading him for a full-fledged fitness training for a long time, but he still did not agree. He postponed the decision, explaining that the loads were unlikely to be serious. But finally he had to agree. And, you know, judging by his exhausted state, which I observed after training, the lesson was very specific! And the coach, according to him, is cool! I confess that, looking at my dad's results in the project, I was also eager to try CrossFit. Perhaps the two of us will go to the next training session!
