stay healthy with me

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very difficult to keep up, for my DA I have come up with an idea to ethnographically research the online healthy lifestyle field. I have always wanted to be healthy all my teenage years, I would just never get the opportunity to and the strength to press “start” and go on my journey, ounce corona had started I had pressed “start” for that to be a successful journey and to do it the right way I had to take a gap year of university, why is that? I had to go on a calorie deficit, it was horrible the process to get used to it, requires a lot of stress, power, and time and of course patience is believing that you can do it and not having a negative impact on yourself, that also requires you changing your interest in life your hobbies, the people who you used to hang out, because you would always have anger stress till you get the rhythm and so that you can control your self how to act in a situation when for example everyone is eating and you are on a diet and usually when all your friends go out they usually eat somewhere and you have to look at all that and be patient so you don’t break. This made me get a vivid image of how to be healthy in a situation like that and how to control my hunger and what is good to eat and as well what is bad to intake in your body I have learned a lot about nutrition on my journey of being on a calorie deficit, the community that was on Instagram were very supportive for me especially talking about “Victoria Zavadovskya” is a very talented influencer and she is an owner of her ski club that she had opened and she attracted mainly clients because of her hard achievement that she had accomplished throughout her journey of becoming an influencer and owner of a ski school the name of her school is “ Zavadovskaya club” Victoria was also participating in the winter Olympics in 2018 that was in Korea I have decided to explore more about her get to know what kind of people she attracts in her blogs as well.

I have chosen to talk about in my story is “Olga” the name on Instagram is @olga_efimo she is one a client of “Victoria” she always has the passion of learning, ounce “Olga” just started she did not have that motivation she would always have some sports but Olga was never determined to have a goal she would do what she wanted and eat freely, it had changed her she started being more on time everywhere being more sure about any situation in life, she is an owner of a fashion brand and she always had problems with having the perfect body and since she started going to classes with ‘“Zavadovskaya ski club” she changed Olga started to have a fresh brain and she also started to have goals of success that will help her in her journey in fashion and her body goals. In my story I have also talked about 2 other business people that are very famous in Moscow that have joined also training and traveling with Victoria are leader of Skolkovo Triathlon team, CO founder of the international sport project “IRON-STAR” Triathlon and also Angelina Strechina had played one of the main roles in the short horror movie by “Evgeny Puzyrevsky” “Mom is always nearby” where her partner in the film was “Alexandra Kharitonova” role in “Olga Cuevas” drama on the district, produced by the popular Russian actor “Daniel Kozlovsky”

“Victoria” had helped them keep their minds straight she had different attention to them they needed to be focus on their jobs she would always make time for them to train them because they always have their hands full on their plates, they like going to “Victoria” since any place they would go everyone would treat them differently, they are so grateful to be part of her team she always helps them Victoria tries her best to motivate everyone, that they have a goal of themselves and as well victory always makes tours to travel she does not make her training boring she trains everyone so that they are ready to go on a ski slope on the Alps, “ Zavadovskaya ski club” is not only winter season she also prepares her clients for a winter season by fitness workouts. 

After conducting my research on my instagram influencer , I realized that I have so much related to Victoria Zavadovskya her lifestyle in being active and she is always trying be better at everything for a better result and if that does not work she will get there same as me I will try my best to have the result that I want even if I fail I will try to get the rest done I always have this say in my head “without failing there is no success” so it is okay to fail that mean you are in the right track , as of Victoria had many bad paths through her journey to build her legacy she wanted to give up many time she failed she got up Victorya kept her head up and she went to the maximum to succeed and she always believed her self and same it is for me when I was loosing weight I wanted to give up , so many times I did not look back I kept my head in the game , and I continued , the main thing is that I did not give up no matter what , I and Manny time I was about to break I did not I kept looking and Victoria the made helped me achieve my goal . I have decided to write my creative story since I can relate to Victoria life as she is having a healthy lifestyle and influencing a lot of people, and so do I, I always try to make people join a healthy lifestyle journey and I have mutual people start their healthy lifestyle journey because of me.

During the story, we analyze the obstacles she faces, how she went through so much with her skiing career how she opened her ski school and how hard it was to do it on her own without any help, and why she had decided and dedicated her self to do it for a living. This ethnography should be an inspiration to start a healthy lifestyle, it helped me that is for sure, it demonstrates that you are never alone and even if you are, the digital influencer may seem to have the perfect image life, the also deal with daily struggles since they are just like us a human being. I assume the process of diving deep into every influencer and their fans really helped me discover how many people are going through that phase right now, and there are some people who have been trying to stay healthy for years and can not do it correctly, but the positive is way more than the negative. It helped me to be more inspired by how many people need the help of being heathy a training program because I am really interested of one day to open my own training school and I look at Victoria success and I am trying to follow her path. But based on what everyone sees online it is not always real you can easily get fooled into glamorizing a healthy lifestyle that does not even exist. Reflecting back on this ethnographic journey, one thing I would have done differently is trying to help others who are really needing help put myself more out there since I was in that journey, it would have been great for me to explore the field more and since I want to one day be an influencer and as well have my own training school.
