Book Description
From Beginner to Pro. Behind the Glamour.
By Yelena Yermolenko
From absolute beginners in weight training to experienced gym goers, first-time competitors to Pro Champions, first-timers in the training business to elite coaches, this book revolutionizes the common beliefs around bodybuilding.
Through a transparent and forthcoming personal story, Yelena takes you on the transformation journey that started right before she turned forty when she was going through a career change leaving Real Estate and getting into the fitness industry as a dance fitness instructor and later becoming a trainer and world-class winning professional athlete.
Early into her training career, despite her "genetically gifted predisposition" and efforts put into clean homemade food, as many of her clients, Yelena faced the shocking truth about non-negotiable aging and made a conscious decision to find a way to slow down the aging process. That decision led her to the first bodybuilding competition, where she quickly discovered the antiaging effects of weight training, balanced nutrition, dietary supplementation and hormonal supplementation designed explicitly for her bodybuilding purposes.
In this book, Yelena will share how she was breaking through all her illusions of knowledge, such as "muscles are just for man," "I want to get toned but don't want to get bulky," or "I don't take supplements because all nutrients are coming from food" etc.
In her book, she will offer her perspective on the importance of checking all the hormones and explain the dramatic damaging effect when they reach low levels as we approach the early forties and what happens when we don't put effort into upkeeping them.
"A career change landed me in a field I knew nothing about, and looking back, the only word that comes to my mind is blessed. That's how I feel now for taking a leap of faith and diving into the fitness field with everything I had.
This book is about my journey as a single parent, businesswoman, trainer, nutritionist, and fitness competitor who took up the challenge of staying strong, young and healthy, developing an award-winning program that helped hundreds of my clients do the same." Yelena Yermolenko.
