Here is what the first representative of the respected jury shares about the "Inspire" campaign.
Hi, I'm Desi and I'm part of the MultiSport team. The things that are characteristic of me are the huge amount of enthusiasm, will and love for sports. I have been training since I was 7 years old -basketball, volleyball, swimming, running, these are the activities thanks to which I developed a culture of movement.
As a child, I have no memory of a day when I was not active. This passion for movement led me to contemporary modern dance, which I have been practicing professionally for almost 10 years. It cost me between 8 and 12 hours of working out a day, especially in preparation for performances or competitions.
Unfortunately, one day I got really bad low back and leg pain caused by the overtraining and maintenance we were doing. Tomography showed a disc bulge or, more easily,a swollen disc in the lumbar region. This discomfort necessitated me to stop professional sports and start physiotherapy, injections and a long rest until full recovery.
Like any person dedicated to sports, this was a hell of a pain for my psyche, because the only thing I wanted was to put on a sport clothes and just go for a run! But what I was prescribed was
complete rest.
And so nearly three years passed in which I thought I would never regain my physical capabilities. I was on all sorts of anti-inflammatory and physiotherapy treatments, I had a subscription to the local sanatorium, where I even celebrated the Christmas holidays, and the doctors filled the list with prohibited activities.
One morning I woke up and said to myself that I would no longer wait for it to pass me to visit thegym.I decided to start with light exercises - back to basics..improving mobility, stretching and strengthening the ligaments around the waist.I was looking for alternatives with which I could work
and regain muscle tone - I enrolled in water gymnastics and Pilates. There was no workout after which I didn't have muscle fever and the inflamed nerves around my waist didn't remind me, but I gritted my teeth and was patient. I kept saying to myself: "With small steps towards progress ..." I included visits to massages, I visited saunas and steam baths - I felt how every small step makes me feel better.
Day after day I improved my endurance, included moderate sports 3 times a week, reminded myself of what it's like to run, paid serious attention to the technique of running, sneakers and the surfaceon which I run or train.
And here I am today, training 5 times a week, quite often and twice, but I listen to my body and I know what it needs.I keep experimenting, but I'm always looking for balance and 100% recovery.
