Anna Victoria

Anna did not have any proclivity towards choosing fitness as a career while growing up or well into her youth. She herself confessed that she was happy to indulge in junk food and not think about the consequences of that lifestyle. As a result she started developing health problems resulting from her eating habits. By end of 2012, Anna had moved to China with her partner Luca who then forced her to change her eating habits and start exercising.

She has admitted that she hated working out initially. She hated pushing her body to its limits. Then she thought of creating an Instagram account to keep her motivated through creating goals and making a note of keeping a note of her progress. Her Instagram account caught the attention of other women who were in a similar situation to Anna and she quickly gained a lot of followers who were keen on observing her progress. Gradually she reached her goals and soon fans began asking her for tips and advice for losing weight.

Anna decided to apply her self-learned knowledge and create a fitness program of her own. She named it The Fit Body Guides. She claimed that this is the complete meal planning guide and exercise regimen directed to induce overall wellness and help women (and men) reach their fitness goals a lot quicker. The guide list her intended program in detail and splits it into various stages. The first stage is the warm up stage which includes five minutes of cardio exercises like running or jumping rope. The second stage consists of intermittent High Intensity Strength Training is a bit more complex where she introduces bodyweight exercises such as squats, lunges, planks and pushups, dumbbell lifting, other weight training. Anna advises her followers that they should alternate between Low Intensity Steady-state (LISS) Cardio, Low-intensity, Medium-intensity Training (LIMIT) Cardio, and High-intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Cardio for better effectiveness of the plan. Followers are also instructed to include 15 minutes of Stretching within their regimen after every workout and even on rest days. Her perfectly proportioned body is inspiration enough to give her program a try.

Anna Victoria is one of those very few fitness experts who give importance on overall happy state of mind than an absolutely toned, perfect body. She advocates her programs but also reminds women that it is okay to accept the flaws and not feel ashamed about it. In a series of Instagram posts, Anna Victoria illustrates how imperfect she herself is.

One of the pictures illustrates side by side her beautifully toned abs while in the other she bravely puts herself up in a sitting position with stomach rolls! Continuing the tradition, Anna also posted a picture showing after dinner bloated belly side by side with a perfectly flat stomach before dinner. The social media erupted with appreciation with thousands of women posting pictures of them showing off their imperfect bodies. She busted the myth of having a perfect body and proudly declared that it is all about finding that perfect angle and nothing else. They were all cheering for Anna for being brave enough to come out to social media and show off her imperfections.

The move could have seriously jeopardized Anna’s image as a fitness guru, putting her reputation on the line, but instead she was lauded by women from all over the world for her raw honesty. Even the media is in awe of her and is going gaga over the bold move.
