At the V International Festival of Sports and Healthy Lifestyle SN Pro 2017, you could find a lot of interesting things: from competitions in powerlifting, bodybuilding, mas-wrestling, wrestling, vorkout, boxing to sportswear and nutrition. At the festival one could meet many famous athletes. Among them were Fedor Emelianenko, actor and powerlifter Hafthor Björnsson, bodybuilder and personal trainer Ulysses Williams, Adam Abakarov, Sergey Badyuk, Denis Gusev and other iconic athletes.
In addition to numerous competitions and conferences, SN Pro 2017 featured booths with sporting goods: clothing, food, and fitness equipment. One of the most unusual stands, which caught the attention of guests and participants of the festival, can be called a workshop – “Team Vladimirov” with a simulator “PravIlo”. “Vladimirov’s Team” has existed since 2010, since the first simulator was made. According to the creator of its modern version Alexey Vladimirov, the simulator has existed since ancient times. Ancient warriors used it, thanks to which they won wars, kept themselves in shape and achieved success on the battlefield.
– Alexey, tell us how this simulator appeared? Is it really ancient Slavic?
– It is a gift from our ancestors. This is an ancient Slavic simulator for training warriors. It came to us from the depths of centuries. We have only realized it. Seven years ago I made the first simulator, and today it is the apotheosis of design thought.
– Your motto is “heals body and spirit.” What does the simulator heal? What does it promote?
– There is an expression – in a healthy body, a healthy spirit. PravIlo simulator is the secret to preserving and maintaining the body. The strongest and healthiest men in Russia were called “araks”, they achieved their strength thanks to this simulator. Today the simulator is unjustifiably forgotten, but earlier every warrior knew about it. We are only resuming its history.
– Is it possible for an untrained person to train on it?
– This question is very important. We tell everyone that one should practice without fanaticism. There are different levels of exercise. The first level is stretching. This is the simplest, without excessive loads. A person stretches, the body only gets used to it, the muscles relax. Then it’s more complicated.
– Why is it called Pravilo?
– “Pravilo” from the word “rule”, the simulator rules the body and spirit!
Anyone could practice on the simulator during the festival. We asked one of the volunteers after the class how difficult her first workout was.
Christina: “It was the first time I practiced on this machine. It stretches my back and lower back quite well. It doesn’t hurt at all, as it may seem at first glance. However, people who come unprepared may get a little pain in the wrist. I do sports myself, so it wasn’t very difficult for me. I liked it!”
A few interesting facts about the simulator. What effect can I expect from training?
– Exercise on the simulator is the fastest means of building up the entire musculoskeletal system by straightening the tendon and muscle framework.
– The internal organs fall into place, the pelvis and thoracic region turn into the correct position relative to each other.
– Building one’s basic structure gives a significant leap in the rest of the practices, including spiritual ones.
– The rule has long been considered a unique means of straightening the body structure and releasing the life force trapped in tension.
