Yana Kuznetsova is a popular fitness model that is known throughout the world. During her career, she won many significant victories. Initially, Yana did not even think of becoming a fitness model. But fate was such that now for her, training has become an integral part of life. From the competition, Jan is waiting for her only son, Nikita. He supports mother and wishes her only victory.
Athlete's hobby
Yana Kuznetsova was born in 1987 in the city of St. Petersburg. In her homeland, she trains to this day. From childhood, Yana actively mastered everything new. In elementary school, she attended the judo and ballroom dancing section. In the sports areas that Kuznetsova studied at school, she did not achieve high results. Since childhood, Yana loved physical education and was happy to attend this lesson. There she had only fives. With school standards, Kuznetsova has always dealt with ease.
Every summer, Yana left for 3 months south. There, sports became her daily habit. The girl also engaged in swimming for a short time.
In the 10th grade, Yana took part in the competition "Best driver (in category" C ")." There she had to fulfill the task of the jury driving a truck. According to the results of the competition, she became the winner and received the prize “Hope of Russia”. At this contest, Yana was the only girl. She managed to succeed among a large number of young men. By the way, Yana was the first girl in the history of the truck race. In 2004, Yana Kuznetsova became a student at the International Institute of Economics and Law.
First visit to the gym
In 2007, Yana Kuznetsova begins her classes in the gym, the main goal that the girl set for herself is to gain at least a little weight. Her weight at that time was only 43 kilograms. Each gram obtained was worth its weight in gold. Yana grew up in a family in which they adhered to the principles of proper nutrition. But, despite the regular use of balanced food, she still failed to gain weight.
In the hall, the girl met with a fitness trainer who guides Yana Kuznetsova in her work to this day. Thanks to their common work, she still managed to gain 3 kilograms. Yana started working with her body at the moment when she was pregnant. Despite this nuance, she did not spare herself in training. With her personal fitness trainer, Kuznetsova worked on the muscles of the back, lower back and upper abs. She had to completely abandon the use of sweets and sushi, as she slowly began to gain weight. From the 7th to the 8th month of pregnancy, Kuznetsova decided to change the situation and go south to her grandmother. There she spent a lot of time in the fresh air. She swam regularly, sunbathed and moved a lot.
Birth of a son and return to the gym
In 2009, she gave birth to a son, Nikita. Mom accustoms him to a healthy lifestyle from childhood. Yana carefully monitors her son’s nutrition and teaches him how to properly exercise. Nikita is already pushing out 35 times. In the same year, she graduated from a university in absentia.
Six months after the birth of her son, Kuznetsova again returned to the gym to restore her body. But she never dwells on one thing. Yana also likes to sew, and even tried herself as a designer. She enjoyed attending hairdressing courses. Not so long ago, the girl plunged into the restaurant business, but she had to stop this occupation for the sake of a fitness model career.
Moral state before the first performance
Yana Kuznetsova very calmly transfers performances. Of course, before her first public appearance, she was very afraid. It was held in 2016 during the Alex Fitness Men's Physique & Bikini Stars 2016 competition. Before going to the podium, Yana tried to understand whether she would have a jerk. But after the model entered the scene and posed, she felt better. After the first success, she decided that she would continue to study and go to competitions.
In this fitness bikini tournament, she won. Even Kuznetsova claimed that it was morally difficult for her to go out in Murmansk. At international competitions, this model (in her words) always feels comfortable. “There are friendly people who always meet you with a smile,” said Yana.
Merit in sports
Initially, the fitness model did not plan to participate in competitions, and even more so - to win prestigious competitions. Her main goal was to return the body to good physical shape after childbirth. Yana, along with her coach, worked hard on the tasks. But then she was offered to take part in the IFES. In this tournament mainly newcomers from different parts of the country compete. Yana Kuznetsova managed to win over 200 models. After this event, the career of this fitness model began.
Then there was success in 2016 at the Alex Fitness Men's Physique & Bikini Stars 2016 fitness bikini competitions and in the championship in St. Petersburg. Then everyone started talking that Kuznetsova is the new star in the “Bikini” category. Immediately after that, she became the winner of the Russian championship.
The most difficult competitions
The most difficult moment in Kuznetsova’s career is the tournament in San Marino. She had to be in optimal shape for a long time. In addition, she became very ill. An elevated temperature undoubtedly complicates the preparation process. Given the health problems, Yana had to prepare with a vengeance. Despite this, she won another gold medal. Yana Smith Kuznetsova is the name by which this strong girl is known all over the world. She is not going to end her career as a fitness model and will continue to continue to maintain her excellent physical shape. Although every year it becomes harder to do this. Yana has a contract with VP Lab, so she has all the conditions for training.
Competition ration
In preparation for the competition, the diet is usually poor, Kuznetsova claims. She is not a fan of hard drying. On the contrary, usually Yana eats well. The number of meals depends on how long a particular day lasted and whether there is a training schedule. As a rule, her morning begins with a meal rich in carbohydrates and protein. At lunch, this is protein and fiber (mainly vegetables). For dinner, bet is on protein.
In preparation for the competitions of the popular fitness model, you have to give up your favorite food. She categorically does not consume dairy products. Yana already knows how her body as a whole responds to certain manipulations with food. But not always the preparation goes according to the planned diet. Sometimes in the process of preparation it is necessary to decide what to reduce in the diet or, conversely, what is doubled.
The biography of Yana Kuznetsova is an example for many other fitness models. Even when she has hard times, she does not give up training. Yana Kuznetsova, whose height and weight (164 cm and 50 kg respectively) are standard for fitness models of our time, confidently wins almost all of her tournaments. Now it is a decoration of every championship. It is hard to believe that in addition to her career, Yan alone brings up his son, who has been accustomed to sports since childhood.
