Shakein Ruslan Biography

Daria Ignatchenko April 12 Ruslan Shakyin is an extraordinary personality. A successful entrepreneur, a venture investor, an exemplary family man and a large father. However, we decided to talk with him not about business, Silicon Valley and Work-Life Balance, but somewhat more unexpected-physical form. For some reason, it is not customary to talk with men about their appearance.

And in vain. Ruslan with his history could well become the hero of the show about amazing transformations. And a good example for imitation. Read more in an interview with Esquire. About my previous life up to a year, I weighed almost kg. He gained excess weight gradually - in his youth, one might say, launched. It was always difficult for me to choose clothes: in ordinary stores I never managed to find something suitable, so everyone was sewn by individual standards.

Even if I bought something, then the thing still had to overcome. I always felt more or less normally. Until now - literally! Even with small physical exertion. It was very difficult to climb the stairs, and it is not easier to descend. But subconsciously, even with such weight, I considered myself a handsome man: I perceived the weight for granted and absolutely did not pay attention to the attacks from others.

This is probably why I did not want to leave this "comfort zone" for a long time. From the middle of x to a year, I conducted projects in various fields - from construction to mills. There was a lot of work then. And it must be taken into account, in the years a mortgage collapse came, and therefore there was a strong decline in construction, we went into a deep minus.

The turning point of February 4, walking in one of the shopping centers of Kuala Lumpur, I tried on various things: T-shirts, tennis, and so on. Next to me was the nephew Temujin, who in every possible way criticized me for excess weight. I, as usual, dismissed it: "Someday I will definitely drop it." Suddenly he could not stand it and, pooping a finger at me, said: “It is you who will never lose weight!

As it was possible to lose more than 30 kilograms in sports over the year - the most important thing is discipline and constancy. Even minor efforts with a long -term approach can give a noticeable result. It is very important to have the right coach who correctly calculates the load so that you do not process and not burn out. Of course, both nutrition and massages ... A complex approach leads to synergy.

In the beginning, of course, it was very difficult to rebuild. In addition, my coach put classes at 8 in the morning, and I always had to get up in the early morning. The first month or two is difficult, and then you get used to it, and such a regime becomes a life norm. Twice in a year, my weight for about two months stopped for me. At this moment I was very worried: you work, but nothing practically changes.

They explained to me that the body is experiencing severe stress, which is why it begins to rebuild. Ultimately, perseverance and desire to achieve the goal prevailed over biology, and the weight continued to decline. There were no attempts to return to the previous way of life, because I saw the result. And this stimulated to play sports even more actively, to go to its normal state.

A schedule and a clear plan that I adhered to, despite difficulties, was built.

What changed in life was surprised, asked how I succeeded. Many did not recognize me and asked me: did I get sick? Of course, there were those who followed my example. Moreover, they became triathlonists, participated in Ironman competitions. In general, everyone reacted very positively and only supported. Much has changed. For ten years I have been going to the gym.

Discipline has developed. I really loved a healthy lifestyle, because there are a lot of positive moments in it: you look younger, you buy clothes without problems and set a good example to your children. What is the secret of success in sport really disciplines and forces you to always be in shape. This, of course, affects all spheres of life: from business to family relationships.

More creative energy appears, which contributes to growth in all directions.
