Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?
Anastasija Samoilova:
I think it’s always important to move a lot, our ancestors were walking for 12-20 km a day… I do a lot of different kind of training, but I would recommend beach volleyball for everyone because it’s the best sport and it’s also healthy and you get to practice outdoors. As well as going to the gym and focusing on an abs, back and hamstring/glute workouts for a good posture.
Namita Nayyar:
How do you train your abs? One secret to your toned body.
Anastasija Samoilova:
I do abs every day, abs exercises help me to avoid back pain. I do 100 attempts at least of different kind of exercises, around 20-30 attempts each, until I feel burning.
Namita Nayyar:
Do you take a special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Anastasija Samoilova:
I eat healthy. I don’t add sugar; I usually don’t drink soft drinks. Just a good balance between carbs, protein and fats. I try to increase protein intake. As I lose a lot of calories I can’t eat only salad (how many people would imagine), I really eat a lot, meat, eggs, porridges, good bread, veggies, fruits, cottage cheese.
Namita Nayyar:
Five foods you absolutely love and five you keep to a minimum.
Anastasija Samoilova:
I absolutely love hard cheeses, cottage cheese, Latvian dark bread, berries, and avocado. Keep to the minimum- cakes, chocolate, fries, soft drinks, syrup.
Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your hair care and skincare routine.
Anastasija Samoilova:
I don’t do anything special to my heart, just wash with shampoo 2 times and put a conditioner. Once a year I do hair Botox (sometimes like keratin but more healthy) to get them not so fluffy.
My skincare routine is washing my face with cleanser in the morning and afternoon, putting a face hydration cream, serum. Sometimes in the morning I do a face massage with a guasha stone. I try to go to skin procedures as hydration and cleaning once in 2-3 months, because of sun and sand exposure.
Namita Nayyar:
You must have a Coach who has been a catalyst who helped you pave the way to rise in your career with discipline and a never stopping attitude. Elaborate about his/her influence on your professional life?
Anastasija Samoilova:
I consider myself lucky as in every moment of my career I had best possible coaches in Latvia. I think the biggest impact on my career left Genadijs Samoilova with whom I spent many hours practicing alone as Tina was studying in USA. He is a hard coach, I was crying a lot, but he is a perfectionist that’s why my technic is so good, we worked a lot on technical elements. I got also stronger mentally.
