How to look 25 at 43? Secrets of beauty and youth of Tina Kandelaki

In November this year Tina Kandelaki will celebrate her 44th birthday. You must agree that she looks much younger than her years, and the taut figure of the TV presenter can be envied by any girl. Tina’s most active fans are interested in how she manages to keep in shape, and often leave comments under her photo in Instagram. Kandelaki, in turn, does not keep training plans and nutrition system in secret and gladly shares them on her own page. Let’s find out what allows the journalist to look so good?

Conscious approach

Often to trainings and diets are approached with a forced attitude: I do not want to, but it is necessary. Such an attitude can lead to breakdowns and skipping classes, for which then becomes a shame – and therefore not easier. Tina Kandelaki, on the contrary, approaches training consciously and voluntarily. She looks for the benefit of each of them for herself and this motivates her readers.

For example, Tina is sure that exercise directly affects growth hormone, testosterone and estradiol levels. Daily exercise will simultaneously make your bones strong and awaken in you “the desire to live and achieve results”.

In addition, the TV presenter is convinced that due to the multitasking that is heaped on our shoulders on a daily basis, we become more irritable. Excitability and aggression negatively affect relations with others. Therefore, according to Kandelaki, unloading in the form of sports is simply necessary for every person. After all, after an active workout, the body produces and accumulates dopamine, responsible for the feeling of pleasure.

In the end, Tina Kandelaki in search of motivation turns to simple truths: nothing is impossible. When asked about her age, she answers that with the right attitude to herself and her body, you can be in great shape even at 60.

Daily workouts

Every morning Tina finds time for sports exercises. Kandelaki does not allow herself to forget about them even on vacation. Her day steadily begins with rising at 6:45-7:00, an hour’s workout at 8:00 and breakfast at 9:30, and then – depending on the plans. So what exercises does the TV presenter prefer?

Interval training

Highly effective interval training helps to save time, gives good results and develops endurance. The Tabata method, a system of short interval training of very high intensity, is gaining popularity. In the complex of exercises Tina advises to include simple actions with your own weight, which can be repeated many times with full commitment. But the main advantage of such training is that you don’t need a gym membership or expensive equipment. All you need is the desire and time.

Among the exercises are:

• squats and lunges;
• burpees with palms off the floor;
• plank with frontal bending of the knees;
• body flexion with alternate touching of the feet;
• gluteal bridge;
• quadroplex with knees on hanging;
• push-ups;
• twists on the abs;
• running in place, jumping with hands or jumping jacks;
• jumping rope;
• pull-ups, etc.

Before performing interval training, the TV host recommends stretching thoroughly, and after it – pay attention to stretching.

Vacuum of the abdomen

Kandelaki treats the vacuum as an indispensable exercise. It not only helps to put the abs in order, but also pumps the transverse muscle, which holds all the organs and intestines. For herself, Tina chose the following technique for performing the abdominal vacuum.

– Spread your legs shoulder-width apart and bend your knees a little, tilt your body forward and place your hands on your hips.
– Slow exhalation. After it, pull the abdomen “under the ribs” and hold for 15-20 seconds.
– Relax the abdomen together with the inhalation. Restore breathing and make a new approach.

The exercise should be repeated 1-2 times a day, on an empty stomach or at least 2 hours after eating. The main condition for proper performance Kandelaki calls a full exhalation before retraction.

Circle training

In the circular workout, Tina Kandelaki includes two circles of exercises and performs them twice.

The first round:

• squats (15 times);
• lunges on the spot (12 times for each leg);
• staggers on a chair (10 times for each leg);
• sumo squats with jumping out (15 times).

Second round:

• single leg squats (12 times for each leg);
• dynamic lunges (12 times for each leg);
• jumping out of a squat (15 times);
• leg swings backwards while standing (15 times for each leg).

Weight exercises

Of course, to build muscle mass Kandelaki does not do without training with additional weight. In the list of exercises performed by her there are:

• lateral leg swings with weights from a standing position on a step platform;
• side lunges with dumbbells in her hands;
• squats with a barbell;
• bending arms with dumbbells, etc.

A coherent nutritional system

Tina Kandelaki intentionally does not call her nutrition strategy a diet. She believes that this word is associated with painful refusal of favorite foods and breakdowns. The TV presenter herself eats on the principle that the daily ration was and full, and tasty, and useful. Nevertheless, from some products Tina still voluntarily refused to build a personal nutrition strategy.

Here are a number of her principles

• Complete absence of meat and dairy products, except for yogurt and cheese. Instead, Tina gets animal protein from fish, seafood and eggs.
• Elimination of sugar, protein shakes and baked goods from her diet. Only gluten-free pressed bread and flaxseed flour as an additive (for example, in cheesecakes or casseroles).
• Strict adherence to calorie and protein, fat and carbohydrate counting.
• An abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables.

It is thanks to daily labor and self-care that you can look young and energetic at any age. And if there is a desire to give up, Kandelaki advises:

If you start feeling sorry for yourself, remember that others will not feel sorry for you. Therefore, young and able-bodied, we depend only on ourselves, and weak – on others. Choose what is really closer to you.
