Taboo products
Want to get in an intense workout? Do not load yourself with heavy food before training. Otherwise you will move like a seal. Heavy food is meat and legumes. It is better to eat such dishes three hours before training.
Well, if you are planning to lose weight, it is advisable to eat no earlier than an hour after training and the taboo product after training for weight loss is sweets.
The difference in weight loss between women and men
Physiologically, it is easier for a man to lose weight; metabolic processes are higher due to the fact that a man has more muscles in his body. Muscles are a kind of anatomical “stove” for burning calories. The more muscle you have, the faster and more calories you burn.
In addition, one of the main hormones that helps a person lose weight is testosterone and, as you understand, the man is also a favorite here. But if you take into account the laziness factor and the fact that women are more persistent when losing weight, physiology may give way and women can lose weight no worse than men, but they just need to put in a little more effort.

Ways to motivate yourself to go to training
Take off your clothes, look at yourself in the mirror and before you know it you will find yourself on a treadmill. Objective self-criticism in assessing your appearance is the key to success. Also, rummage through your wardrobe and you will probably find a dress or jeans that, for unknown reasons, have become a size smaller. This will be an additional incentive to go to training.
How to replace cardio at home
The point of cardio training is to maintain your heart rate at a given level. If you want to lose weight, your heart rate should be 130-140 beats per minute. And here it doesn’t matter what kind of work you do. To maintain your heart rate at this level, you can run, jump, ride a bike, ring a bell, rearrange your apartment, the main thing is that there is no rest and you work in a constant mode.
But the easiest way to implement this is to buy a jump rope. It’s cheap, doesn’t take up extra space, but the main thing is to turn on energetic music when you jump. This will make your workout more challenging.

About the eternal female problem - cellulite
First, let me remind you of physiology. The effect of cellulite appears due to the fact that in some girls the fat cells grow, fill unevenly and as a result, such unevenness appears.
By performing exercises, we affect the muscles and cannot influence the growth and location of fat cells. Therefore, there are no exercises that will help cope with uneven growth of fat cells. And in order to remove this visual defect, you need to reduce the percentage of adipose tissue to normal. And for this you need to simply lose weight. The fastest way to do this is to combine strength and cardio training.
About walking
My personal opinion is that, regardless of age and gender, the minimum norm per day is 5 km. And it is necessary not only for correcting and maintaining weight, but also for simply staying healthy. While walking, we breathe, train the heart and strengthen the musculoskeletal system.
Alcohol and exercise
“To drink or not to drink,” everyone will find the answer to this question for themselves, but if we consider it in the context of training, I would categorically not recommend running to an intense workout in the morning after having wild fun in the evening.
In this case, you will do more harm to the body than benefit. If the next day you still feel the effects of yesterday's feast, but the workout is planned and you can't miss it, give preference to walking on a treadmill and don't forget to take a bottle of water (a larger one) with you.
Let us remind you that everyone can take part in
Igor Obukhovsky is a fitness trainer who became very popular after he began collaborating with the Ukrainian STB channel. His charm and at the same time strong character won many women's hearts. Reality shows with his participation are watched by thousands of viewers. With the help of his exercises and advice, thousands of spectators got their bodies in order.
Biography of Igor Obukhovsky
The young man was born on March 24 in Sevastopol. In 1981, a long-awaited son was born into a family of ordinary workers. Since childhood, the boy showed interest in sports and a healthy lifestyle. Igor Obukhovsky devoted all his time as a teenager to training in the gym and eating right, which he continues to do to this day. In 2003, the guy wins the funk aerobics cup.
The young man is actively engaged in karate. Such perseverance led him to victory in the Crimean Championship in 2008. In the same year he received a black belt. This was followed by a victory at a coaching competition in Ukraine.
The young man actively collaborated with NIKE. He developed trainings and sets of exercises specifically for new collections of clothing and shoes, which were demonstrated in commercials and posters.
Personal life
For a long time, the guy was credited with an affair with his colleague in the “Weighted and Happy” project, Anita Lutsenko. Romantic relationships began in the first season of the show and were actively gaining momentum. But soon the couple broke up. The relationship could not survive the couple's constant presence together both at home and at work. In addition, Anita has a quick temper, and Igor is a rather gentle person, and it was quite difficult for Obukhovsky to withstand the girl’s emotional outbursts.
Recently, the 36-year-old coach admitted that he secretly married his girlfriend, whom he had been dating for about three years. The couple did not want to make a sensation out of this event and got married in a modest company of friends and relatives. Later, Igor Obukhovsky in the show “Everything will be fine,” in which he often stars, announced his wedding and that he and his wife had their first child.
In September 2017, the couple had a daughter. The coach himself spoke about this news on his page on one of the social networks. The first photo with her daughter was also posted. The couple is keeping the baby's name a secret for now.
Where did you meet your wife?
Coach Igor Obukhovsky met with Ksenia in the gym. The girl decided to take up sports seriously and chose her future husband as an instructor. Gradually, the relationship with the coach moved beyond the walls of the gym.
Igor recalls that what he liked about Ksenia was her neatness and calm character. He also likes women who can realize themselves in life and career. And Ksenia, despite her young age, is already a fairly well-known dentist in Kyiv and works in a large clinic.
Then the girl and Igor went on a fitness tour with a project on the STB TV channel “Weighted and Happy.” At this time, the guy was 100% convinced that he had found his soul mate for the rest of his life. During the trip they had to go through many difficulties, and their relationship became even stronger. For example, at one airport a couple had to wait for the plane all night. His flight was delayed due to snow drifts. However, the girl behaved with restraint. And there was not a single flaw in her appearance.
Television career
After success in the coaching competition, Obukhovsky moved to Kyiv and began working in popular fitness centers. In 2011, the STB channel began filming the show “Weighted and Happy.” It involves two teams of very overweight people who must last in the show as long as possible and lose weight. Two coaches help them with this.
One of them was Obukhovsky. The guy has excellent diction, good looks and behaves well in front of the cameras. Thus, these qualities and successes in his sports career brought Igor to television.
The coach participated in the project for 5 seasons. He then left the show and began creating his own project. The young man realized that a sense of competition and receiving a prize as a reward for losing weight can motivate any person to get their body in order.
Forms are normal
Igor created his own weight loss program, which is similar to the popular “FatKiller”. Anyone can take part in it by registering in the project on the Internet resource. After paying a certain amount and filling out a questionnaire, the participant is developed a set of exercises for 4 weeks and a diet.
All registered participants send a video report of their workouts daily and weigh themselves once a week. After a month, the winners who lost the most kilograms in the “Normal Shape” project are selected and they are given expensive prizes.
Diary of weight loss with Igor Obukhovsky
The popular show “Everything will be fine” has been broadcast on STB for several years. Here, presenter Nadezhda Matveeva gives useful advice to viewers on various issues in life. One of the program’s headings is “Healthy lifestyle and weight loss.”
Igor acts as a trainer here and conducts classes with a group of people who want to lose weight. Each program broadcasts a set of exercises that participants perform under the guidance of Obukhovsky. A month later they weigh themselves and the winner is determined.
Viewers can use these exercises to lose weight at home. They are quite simple and do not require special equipment. The exercise routine uses plastic water bottles instead of dumbbells and chairs as exercise equipment. The trainer guarantees that with daily work a person can safely lose 2 to 3 kilograms.
Television still plays a big role in our lives. The reality show “Weighted and Happy,” which is broadcast in several dozen countries, has made it possible not only to promote a healthy lifestyle, but also provides very valuable knowledge regarding proper nutrition, a healthy lifestyle and proper sports training. One of the trainers of the TV project, Igor Obukhovsky, offers weight loss exercises, the effectiveness of which has been proven by the participants of the program. Nowadays you can find a lot of videos that clearly show how to exercise to lose weight. You can see one of these videos in this article.

November 12, 2015Igor Obukhovsky is a professional trainer and regular host of many Ukrainian reality television shows on the Ukrainian STB channel. In this article we will take a closer look at the personality of the coach and briefly describe his biographical data and interests.
About personality
Despite his relatively young age, Igor was able to achieve great success in the teaching field. He gives a lot of different professional instructions on how to start a healthy lifestyle, how to love yourself and your body, and achieve success in losing weight. The main activity is the development of sports complexes for the rapid and effective reduction of body fat levels or for increasing muscle mass.
Igor Obukhovsky, whose photo is presented in the article, has repeatedly collaborated with the world-famous company NIKE. He developed special trainings to support new collections of sportswear and in order to instill in his compatriots the love of sports that he himself possesses. The man’s teaching experience is ten years, which once again indicates his professionalism and love for his own work.
In 2008, Igor won the All-Ukrainian coaching competition. The guy practices karate professionally and in the same year received a black belt and won the Crimean championship.
Among his professional achievements, it can also be noted that Igor Obukhovsky at the beginning of his career won the funk aerobics cup (in 2003). This subsequently made the guy believe in himself and pushed him to further professional and personal development as a coach and TV presenter.
Family
At the moment, Igor is not married and is not in an official relationship with anyone. During the second season of a Ukrainian show about weight loss, he was accused of having an affair with a fellow TV presenter.
Igor Obukhovsky was born in 1981 (March 24). Zodiac sign - Aries. He was born into a family of ordinary workers and all his life he dreamed of teaching people and playing sports, which is why he became a coach. Hometown - Sevastopol.
Coming to television
After his professional success in 2008, Igor was invited to work in various prestigious fitness halls and sports complexes to develop personal training programs for visitors, so he did not participate in any projects. However, in 2011, the STB channel launched the pilot season of a world-famous show, which is designed to help people lose extra pounds after three months of hard training with a trainer and through proper nutrition.
The project required finding two judges whose teams would compete with each other. Igor Obukhovsky was invited to take the place of one of the coaches, who did his job perfectly, because in addition to the fact that he has professional skills, he speaks fluently in front of the camera and has good diction, which is very important for any TV presenter. That is why Igor has been one of the trainers of this program for the fourth season. He also participates in other projects of the STB channel, in which he shows new exercise programs, gives advice on caring for your body and normalizing physical well-being.
Personal life
Igor Obukhovsky, whose personal life is not widely publicized, nevertheless showed everyone his real girlfriend. This happened in one of the programs of the same STB TV channel, in which Igor appeared as a participant with his support group, and his beloved was there. According to Igor himself, his girlfriend’s name is Yulia, and she works on the staff of the STB television channel. 
The relationship is quite serious, and there are rumors that Igor is going to legitimize it. However, there was no confirmation or denial about this from the couple. They prefer to remain silent and not answer provocative questions from media representatives.
Igor Obukhovsky: biography, family
Igor has no children; he has never been married. He describes himself as cheerful, sometimes boring, enthusiastic and goal-oriented. 
According to an interview with a colleague, another popular trainer, Anita Lutsenko, she and Igor had an affair, and everything even went as far as a marriage proposal. However, the constant presence of the couple in each other’s lives played a cruel joke, because they hosted the same television show, constantly crossed paths at the same events and after all this came to their joint apartment. That is why, after a certain time, the relationship began to fail; constant disagreements led to the couple deciding to break up and remain friends. It is worth noting that during the period of their relationship they did not talk about it and kept everything secret, but now Anita has spoken about this stage of her life.
Personal projects
Igor Obukhovsky, whose biography characterizes him as an incredibly purposeful person, is constantly looking for new directions for his activities. 
Most recently, he presented to the public his personal project called “New Body”, in support of which he travels around the cities of Ukraine and collects flash mobs of people for exercise and physical exercise in nature. According to Igor, this approach is designed to take people away from computers and helps them get used to a healthy lifestyle, because if a person came to a flash mob, then he probably wants to change his lifestyle.
Some advice from a famous trainer:
Coach Igor Obukhovsky. People's opinions
This guy is a real diplomat. From the first minutes of meeting you, it may seem that he is a very kind, smiling boy, but then you will see that he is a truly serious and purposeful person. This was noticed by the losing weight project participants from Igor’s team in absolutely all seasons. 
People never cease to thank him for his help and for helping them get in shape by teaching them how to properly exercise their body, as well as explaining the principles of healthy eating.
Physical parameters
Igor's height is 181 cm, and his weight is 79 kilograms. The trainer does not have a magic weight loss complex; he constantly eats healthy food and does cardio exercises, as well as pumps up his arms and trains endurance.
There are not many beautiful, smart and single people in our country, but the coach of the show “Zvazhenі and Shchaslivi”, expert of the TV magazine “Everything will be good” on the STB channel, 34-year-old Igor Obukhovsky, is one of them!
I wonder what kind of girls the eligible bachelor likes? Exclusively for “Relax!” Igor shared his thoughts on this matter: “I appreciate a sense of humor, interest and the ability to maintain a diverse conversation. I like it when a girl is sexy, when she flirts well and knows how to behave during communication in such a way that you want to conquer her. I don’t prioritize everyday skills. Of course, the chaos and dirt in her apartment would alarm me, but, fortunately, such extremes have never happened in my life. I believe that anyone can learn how to cook borscht and clean the house. And never after dinner together will I choose washing dishes over a pleasant time together!”
“I’ll forget about all the rules...”
Igor, does your sports regime hinder or help you in your personal life?
It doesn’t interfere at all; on the contrary, it disciplines. For me, the best way to wake up in the morning is not a cup of coffee and a hearty breakfast, but exercise. Of course, I balance work, sports, and personal life. After all, if one of these areas begins to dominate, it will immediately affect the other two.
It seems that you are very demanding. Did you force your girls to exercise or go on diets?
How can you force a girl to take care of herself? Of course, I didn’t specifically drive anyone into the gym and force them to pump up their abs. But I don’t hide the fact that I like a beautiful, toned body and strong muscles. Therefore, I try to motivate a girl to play sports, explaining that a good figure can be maintained for a long time and sports are the right investment in one’s health and appearance.
Which part of a girl's body do you find most attractive?
A beautiful, toned “fifth point” is what adorns any girl!
Can you like a curvy girl?
I recently watched a performance in a Brazilian show where a very curvaceous Brazilian woman danced the samba. She did it simply amazingly. And, despite its shape, I really liked it. So yes, there is such a chance (laughs). Although I prefer ladies with a normal and thin body type.
How do you feel about office romances?
From a practical point of view, this is not very good, because in a situation where such a romance reaches a dead end (and people rarely break up by mutual consent), working together can instantly turn into an unpleasant burden. Therefore, before starting an office romance, I will weigh the pros and cons a million times. But if the sympathy is very great, I’ll calmly forget about the rules and give in to emotions.
To lose weight, you need to fall in love!
What are you like in everyday life?
I like to clean my room and office, wash and put things away so that during the week I know where and what I have. I don’t really like cleaning the kitchen, but I take this responsibility in my bachelor life philosophically: it’s as useful an activity as sports. I can cook everything - from side dishes, meat and basic salads to first courses.
Where else can we see you besides the gym?
At the cinema. I really like visiting restaurants in shopping centers. I choose them intuitively. If I see a pleasant interior and smell pleasant aromas, I will definitely go in and try what they cook there. In the warm season I like to roller skate and bike. Often I just walk in the center alone with my thoughts.
You are a confident man, but have there been cases when girls left you?
I think this situation has happened in the life of every man. I was about 28 years old. Our relationship with the girl had the shape of a sine wave: sometimes everything is good, sometimes everything is bad. I repeatedly thought that there was no point in continuing, but at one point the girl decided to be the first to put an end to it. I won’t hide it, I probably worried for the rest of my life then. Today I remember this situation calmly, even with a smile. I learned a lot of lessons and realized where I reacted correctly and incorrectly. And now I take all processes related to sorting things out quite calmly. I believe that such moments should not lead to conflicts.
Admit it, do you meet girls easily?
Although I seem to be a self-confident man, I, like any person, am worried about possible refusal. When I want to go up to meet a girl I like, I always think about the possibility that they might turn me away. This, of course, is unpleasant and annoying, although I understand that there is nothing terrible and life will not end there. I never go ahead. First, I carefully test the waters: I ask how to get to this or that place, if she will show me where I can drink coffee, if she will sit with me, and so on. (smiles).
Have you thought about starting a family?
A week ago, my friend’s son was born, after which I thought: “Obukhovsky, this is the last bell! Need to do something". All my friends are either married or already parents. I'm the only bachelor (laughs). I seriously think that a period has come in my life when it’s time to think about family. I am ready for such a step, but marriage for me is a serious decision that must be made once and for the rest of my life.
You probably have a lot of fans, especially on social networks...
Yes, I even think that I need to appear less on my pages. Messages from girls asking me to get acquainted come constantly. One of my fans lives in Latvia, she is only 13 years old. But she seems to be watching the moment I appear online. As soon as I go to my page, I immediately receive a message! The girls offer to give me a massage and meet, but I don’t respond to such offers. I won’t lie, there have been several cases in my life when I allowed myself to meet a girl after some correspondence on the Internet. Now I have come to the conclusion that virtual communication is not what I need.
Express weight loss from Igor Obukhovsky?
The most important express method that works flawlessly is to fall in love. Your heart rate increases, your metabolism speeds up, you move more, and you do all your daily activities faster. And, being in a state of euphoria, you yourself do not notice how you are losing extra pounds. The main thing is not to stop there, but to gradually resort to the help of sports and consolidate the result.
