Eugenia Kuzmina is a top international model and an actress is in conversation with Namita Nayyar President Women Fitness
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Your modeling career started at the young age of 13 years when you participated in a Ives Saint Laurent runway show and latter propelled to the height where you have been at the top of the world as a leading model, an actress in films and television. Tell us something about this fairy tale journey?
Ms. Eugenia Kuzmina:
LOL! Thank you for calling it a “fairy tale”! It’s such a fun way to describe my career although it has not been all “fairy tale”! I believe everyone has a great story to tell and I live mine one day at a time. To be really honest, nothing on my journey thus far has been just “pure luck”. I was born in a country that restricted most creative ambitions, but I always believed in pursuing my passions. I was lucky to stumble into modeling and I succeeded by working hard because let’s face it…how many girls really make it in the the competitive fashion industry? No many. I believe you have to work on not just your physical appearance but also on your mind. You have to keep focused, show up on time, be in the moment and always remember to be professional. For me listening, positive thinking and flexibility are as important as eating healthy and exercising every day!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have selected a profession of acting and modeling that requires a lot of hard labor, technical soundness and excellence in different faculties to finally succeed, how do you achieve that?
Ms. Eugenia Kuzmina:
You have to love what you do and keep your mind on the goal of achieving the end result, whatever that may be! Many days I put in a full 24 hours and often times there are no guarantees in the end. I have shot for magazines and campaigns for hours in uncomfortable conditions like being in a bathing suit in the snow and in the end, they end up not using those particular set ups. It is not all fun and games but you keep doing it. I have prepared for hours and hours for auditions but I did not get the part but I keep moving on to the next audition. I am still fascinated by the fashion and Hollywood industries so the hard work only makes me more determined and willing to keep learning everything about my crafts.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine would you like shall like to share?
Ms. Eugenia Kuzmina:
On a daily basis I do Bikram Yoga. It has become very popular. It is basically yoga in a room that is very hot so you end up sweating a ton. I also do Krav Maga and I enjoy lifting weights to keep my muscles toned.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you have some special diet or do you have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Eugenia Kuzmina:
I don’t believe in being strict on myself when it comes to diet although I do eat low calorie foods like fruits and vegetables and I try to avoid fatty foods and foods that are heavy in carbohydrates. I believe in trusting my body to know what’s good for me based on how much energy I have and how healthy I feel. All of our bodies are different and what foods work well for some might not work well for others. We all know what is healthy and what is not. It is common sense. We just need to trust ourselves to make informed decisions and every once in a while we need to treat ourselves to a food that may not be the best for us. A scoop of ice cream every now and then is good for our souls!
