Favorite actresses are sometimes not only beautiful, have many talents and can often stand up for themselves in earnest. Possession of martial arts helps them keep their figure in great shape, perform tricks without the help of understudies, and even sometimes defend themselves from annoying fans. In addition, a rare director is not able to feel sympathy for a sports girl. Our today's heroines choose different areas of activity - from shooting and throwing knives, boxing to more exotic taekwondo and kung fu.

Evgeniya Brik

The passionate member of the Komsomol from the movie "Hipsters" spent her childhood on the stage of the theater. Her family tried to instill in a beautiful girl a love for the world of arts, so little Lilya studied at a music school, and also participated in children's shows of the All-Union House of Models. In addition, her parents saw in her more of a scientist than an athlete. Therefore, the actress was able to really get carried away with physical exercises only in adulthood.

At first, it was preparation for a future role - Evgenia trained strikes, and then she became so involved that she could no longer imagine life without boxing. As the actress admitted in an interview, for several years she has achieved serious success in this sport. So now she can perfectly cope with the roles of professional athletes and star in action films.

Diana Pozharskaya

Like the previous member of our list, Diana was also forced to play sports by the director. For filming in the film "Hotel Eleon" the girl was advised to take several lessons of martial arts. However, the actress liked it so much that she did not stop there. So Diana became a karateka. However, it cannot be said that the girl had not been friends with sports before.

In her youth, physical education was her favorite subject at school. And she was fond of sports ballroom dancing since childhood. And she even fulfilled all the standards for the title of candidate for master of sports. But a knee injury at the age of 19 dashed the hopes for a professional career. Now a new hobby has not only helped to do without an understudy on the set, but also to maintain excellent physical shape.

Ekaterina Vladimirova

Sometimes it is not easy to find a worthy actress for a role in a film. Especially when it comes to professional sports in the film. Director Ara Hovhannisyan did an excellent job with this - for the role of charming twin boxers, he found a girl who dreamed of a career in sports. Ekaterina Vladimirova has chosen this sport, which is not at all female, since childhood, but, as she says in an interview, it is most suitable for her in temperament.

Over the years of professional training, the girl did not have time to perform any significant competitions, but she had already experienced the trauma of this sport. In addition to four back injuries, the girl received another very serious one during the filming of the trailer for the film "Katyusha". She even had to undergo treatment in an Israeli clinic, where, in order to pass the days of boredom, the future actress started sending out a trailer.

The video got to the director Oganesyan, who was literally struck by the sight of a boxing girl. So the actress gained fame, starring in the film "Take a hit, baby."The purposeful girl has now left professional boxing and is engaged in yoga and surfing.

Anastasia Dubrovina

In addition to her musical data, the girl also had talents in the field of sports. For 10 years, Anastasia was engaged in karate. And she gave all her strength to the hobby - the future actress has many awards in fair competition in her arsenal. The girl even became the owner of an orange belt in karate. But she did not choose a career as a professional athlete - love for cinema and theater prevailed. Nevertheless, the skills gained in the new job were very useful - many directors fell in love with the flexible sports actress.

Anna Mikhailovskaya

The star of the series "Kadetstvo" once quite surprised the entire film crew when she refused the services of an understudy and performed several difficult stunts on her own. Love for sports has become a tradition in the Mikhailovsky family. Following the example of her father, the girl took up martial arts, and her younger brother even won a silver medal in this sport at the Russian championship.

Over time, Anna switched from taekwondo to sports ballroom dancing. Remarkable stretching and plasticity helped the future actress to become a master of sports in a new field. However, the case prevented the continuation of his sports career. Once the producers of the Mosfilm film studio dropped in for a training session at the choreographic school, looking for candidates for the role in the film The Most Beautiful. They liked the girl, and they invited her to audition. So Anna's fate changed again - she chose a career as an actress and soon entered VGIK.

Christine Asmus

This Russian actress has more than 22 film roles on her account, and in the last year alone she has starred in six films. Such a busy schedule is simply impossible without excellent physical fitness and incredible organization of the actress. And our heroine was able to find them even in childhood, when her parents sent the girl and her sisters to the gymnastics section.

In her memoirs, the actress somewhat negatively recalls the period of her youth, since she had to study for 13 hours a day. Of course, it was also important to monitor nutrition - the girl was constantly on a sports diet. In her relationship with her father, the actress is still ambiguous - she cannot forget that her father forced her to go to training, having two fresh bone fractures.

But the years of work were not in vain. Now the actress has a candidate master of sports degree, an excellent figure and incredible determination. But the choice of profession was influenced by a childhood dream - during her school years, Christina was a fan of the Brazilian TV series "Wild Angel", and, following the example of Natalia Oreiro, she decided to become an actress.

Natalia Rudova

The star of the film "Tatiana's Day" and the TV series "Univer" believes that it does not matter at all how you feel and what time you started your day. A sports girl does not spare herself and spends several hours in the gym every day. Despite her fragile figure, Natalia has very muscular muscles and excellent stretching. Another secret from the star - you don't have to be next to professional simulators to practice - a girl can perform effective exercises even in between filming.

Fans have repeatedly asked her questions about how the girl manages to achieve such success. To which Natalia invariably recommends adhering to a simple formula - a minimum of food with a maximum of classes.
