49-year-old Polish lawyer from Warsaw, Claudia Kotuszynska, decided to change her life after many years of work in the legal field and realize her dream of becoming a bodybuilding champion. This is reported by the British tabloid Daily Star..
As a mother of two at 49, she wanted to fulfill her lifelong desire to achieve results in what she loved most recently - sports. For many years, the gym and fitness were her outlet after a series of problems in her professional career and personal life.
Two years ago, her life changed dramatically after one of the trainers complimented her on her figure and invited her to engage in professional bodybuilding..
" But I myself never thought that I would be on stage. And then I figured it out and thought - why not Just one time. Feel it. And here I am,” the woman admits.
Ms. Kotushinskaya says that she began to improve her form in order to prepare for super-heavy competitions. Starting in March 2024, already in October she competed in professional competitions and received first place.
Further more - Claudia became the champion of Poland, received two more golds in different disciplines, and received recognition from professionals. However, the biggest surprise was that the woman received the right to compete at the World Bodybuilding Championships in her age category.
Now the bodybuilder is one of the eight leading athletes in the world, and experts consider her one of the favorites of the competition. He describes the secrets of his success in a few simple phrases - discipline, responsibility and the desire to get results..
She sticks to an uncompromising schedule - waking up at 5am every day and going to bed extremely tired at 10pm. But she admits that she never even thought about giving up for a moment..
" Discipline is everything because along the way I faced two serious challenges - psychological and physical pressure. It made me rethink everything. Despite a good job, a wonderful family, a house, a car and everything I might need, I felt stuck,” admits Ms. Kotushinskaya.
She says this is what made her seek changes in her life. That's why a message two years ago from a professional trainer made her think about what she wanted and where she planned to go..
" So, I began to look within myself - not what others wanted from me, but what I really wanted.. And I was able to find it. “I found my goal,” the woman admits.
Despite the large number of trainings and exercises, the athlete tries to have time to care for her two teenage children, and even makes certain sacrifices. However, he receives support from relatives, friends, colleagues and children.
\? Stop complaining and start changing yourself. Bad day? Then off to the gym. Broke my heart? Gym. No motivation? Gym. Discipline will take you where motivation cannot.. Nothing is impossible if you really want it and strive for it. Never give up,” sums up Ms. Kotushinskaya.

It was also reported that one woman became a beauty queen after an accident. During her school years, Danette Burzlaff-Haag had to wear special clothing, splints and face masks, which made her life physically and emotionally painful..
