Showing top class requires a lot of work. Skill, professionalism, persistence, success - all this depends only on the individual. Contrary to the most widely spread misconception - regardless of where you do it and whether you have access to any expensive tools, institutions or coaches, it is only desire, persistence and an adequate approach that you need to achieve financial wellbeing or simply show everyone that you can do seemingly impossible things on the horizontal bar (or the high bar that you can find practically everywhere). Everything's simple regardless of what it is you are after. The key is not resources, it's how you use them. You may have no time to go to the swimming pool or money to buy fitness equipment, but this is no excuse to sit and swell with fat in your chair - you can go out, find a structure that looks, even remotely, like a high bar and then your imagination and desire will be the only limiting factor.
Simply showing an example
Those who managed to achieve great results deserve respect. But it is more important for them to popularize what they do and believe in to improve other people's lives based on their style of life and examples of their achievements. Now you can often hear that alcoholism, drug addiction, corruption, crime is all around and the only way out is to leave Ukraine for good and as far as you can, for example, to Cyprus. But few people say that the world can be changed for the better without finding excuses for inaction.
Dnepropetrovsk decided to gather such initiative people not only from Ukraine, but also from all over the world. On 28 May this city hosted the First International Workout Competition organized by one of its recognized masters - Denis Minin - and sponsored by Forex Trend. This competition, like the sport itself, is open to everyone without any physical or financial limitations.
What does workout mean?
Workout is a social and sport movement of people who not only love doing sports and being healthy, but also want other people to be healthy and fit. Originating in American ghetto, this movement of street fitness fans was transformed into a workout in Ukraine and Russia without losing its key idea - taking children away from cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, thoughtless and senseless waste of time by using their own example that it is very simple to become successful, healthy and beautiful.
You need no special conditions to work out - just go out and adjust any handy gear - the high bar, beam, stairs or anything - where you can pull yourself up. Then you just train to impress everyone with what you can. Very many members of the movement film and upload their stunts to the internet for general viewing and getting young people interested in sports rather than alcohol or cigarettes.
It is quite organized, widely networked in regional societies and available in such popularization media as the internet. So any interested person can not only analyze videos of active members, but also use their recommendations with a set of routines and drills, get a consultation or find the closest group of activists that work out on the high bar.
Why the workout
Based on similar substance and conditions of working out and trading, Forex Trend, a broking company, decided to support Denis Minin's brainchild (by the way, he is one of the company's investors). Indeed, what do you need to make money in the forex market? The bare minimum, like in the workout: an internet-connected computer and desire to learn to find your way around the world of finance. The rest will depend on the trader and his or her persistence. Besides, this decision was made by the company's management because of the social nature of the event itself. In most cases, some firms sponsor a soccer team or a 'promoted' club to state they support sports for appearances' sake. It is one thing when all popularization of sport comes down to having the firm's name nicely printed on the door of a cool race car, and an absolutely different thing when sponsor's money serves popularization of a healthy way of life among teenagers and young people.
