It is all started with Zumba 
We met when Karina Gavrikova became an instructor. Unfortunately her knee stopped her to teach, even to move.
She did not give it up, she was searching for the possible way to exercise, went to the gym and the results are just simple impressive!
European Professional and World Professional Champion!!!
We met last cc 4,5 years ago just before Karina became a PRO. This time I had the opportunity to follow the last days of preparation.
First step was to buy all food ingredients required for the carefully prepared nutrition plan. Surprisingly the amount was quite large, however limited water, fats and salt is quite challenging.
One of the probably evergreen sentence from Karina: “I was one of them who did not know that there is strong connection between the level of my energy, health, sleeping quality and my nutrition. Thanks for all I learnt about during the year about nutrition I feel much better. I know that I not only can change how I look but also can change how I feel!”
Second Karina wanted to check the stage. We managed to get into the room in the hotel. When she entered to the room, without saying a single word, she went on stage and started her routine several times for over half an hour. The routine that she did probably a million times.
The daily posing practice was ON every day for cc 2 hours. The competition is absolutely advanced, all the other ladies / athletes on stage are super prepared, only way to win / stay on top is to give 100% again, again and again.
It was great to see Karina’s happy and relaxed smile when she won the first place in Malta!
The show must go on this weekend next competition. As Karina says this one is BRUTAL: The IFBB Elite Pro World Championship! A spectacular event will feature the presence of professional athletes from all continents and categories. Karina won so many 1st places, but this weekend being between the TOP 10 would be a great result. This is the nature of competition https://arnoldsportsfestivaleurope.com/…/ace…/
CONGRATULATIIONS for the 1st place in Malta and all the best in Spain! Thank you for all the inspiration
