After this exercise, Ani gets out of bed and begins to do exercises, which last at least 20 minutes. It is based on classical “Soviet” gymnastics: bends, squats, turns, “mill”. According to the singer, nothing has yet been invented better than these time-tested exercises for morning exercises.

Diet menu

The singer is confident that a healthy diet should be based on fresh foods. Those left for more than 1 day lose most of the nutrients and become useless.

Before going to bed, she does not consume salty foods or water to avoid swelling. He also does not eat before the performance (3 hours before), because it is difficult to dance and sing with a full stomach.

It is not recommended to eat after 7 pm, and in order to get rid of belly fat, you need to include 5 vegetables and fruits in your menu every day. Fresh vegetables should be consumed separately (used for snacking). After heat treatment, it is better to combine them with cereals or protein products.

An approximate daily diet looks like this:

1. Breakfast: vegetables and 2 egg omelet.
2. Lunch: borscht, grilled fish.
3. Dinner: cabbage salad.

You need to drink a lot of liquid, but not in the evening.
