One way to fight for health is by playing sports. People spend hours in the gym trying to find the perfect proportions and get rid of chronic diseases. Advertising and articles in glossy magazines convince that a modern person without fitness simply can not exist. Probably, in something they are right. But it happens that people from the fitness club go straight to the hospital bed. "Izvestia" tried to figure out who they are, the victims of fitness, and what motivates them.
"Fitness is a drug. But I'm happy! ".
- About five years ago I changed my seat to a fitness club, - says Natalia Shekhovtsova. - One day my husband gave me a fitness club card for his birthday. Not to use it would be disrespect for her husband, and elementary greed spoke: money is spent. I then at an increase of 155 centimeters weighed 70 kilograms. In general, I normally felt with this weight, there were no special health problems, although I already started to go to doctors: if you cant and you feel dizzy, you feel tired - it's wrong. Plus stress from a big city, ecology. I started going to the gym - a 1.5-2 hour gym plus a swimming pool. And she began to lose weight very quickly. No diets at the same time did not adhere to, guided only by the good old principle: "breakfast you eat yourself, lunch is stripped with a friend, dinner is given to the enemy", did not eat after six o'clock in the evening. To me gastroenterologists and before spoke, that is after six evenings it is harmful: you fall asleep - and your digestive system falls asleep.
From work, I quit, and I had the opportunity to go to a fitness club at least a day later. For six months I lost 20 kilograms and feel great. Immunity was strengthened, and the emotional state became completely different: I come from classes and everything is glowing. If I do not get into the club for two days, at first my mood deteriorates, then there are folds on my stomach, and then I feel like an amorphous. If you want to say that it's like a drug, yes, it's a drug. But I'm happy!.
How not to become Sharon Stone Natalia, although "hooked" on fitness, this is her health did not inflict damage. But there are also tragic stories. American doctors even had their own name for excessive physical activity craze - "Sharon Stone Syndrome". It's about sports, which in theory should preserve the youth and beauty of a person, but in fact only lead to a loss of health.
They say that to look younger, a Hollywood actress for three hours a day exhausted herself with physical exercises. She looked fifteen years younger, but after a charity run, she had a stroke. Eleven days the doctors could not diagnose: they were looking for a small bursted vascular, and the cervical artery was bled, the blood from which was poured into the brain. Fortunately, the actress managed to save.
But even those who have not lost their health in the gym, fitness classes do not always bring exactly the result they dreamed about. For example, instead of admiring men - their pity.
- Before our group of karate in the same room are fitness classes, - says 20-year-old Sergey Vasilyev. - A woman throws herself into the eyes - tall and terribly thin. It looks completely unattractive, rather - vice versa.
It seems that, with all the desire, you can not find a single gram of fat, but she perseveres - I do not remember that she missed one lesson. Once I accidentally heard her talk with a classmate. She said that at any opportunity she runs to the gym or pool, no matter how tired for the day. Strives to achieve the ideal proportions of the body. And it seems to me that it is better for her to eat, but not to engage in sports.
