Ann Louise Freitas - Brazilian "Centaur Barbie" with a wasp waist and an incredible bottom of the body
Sports, proper nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle - all this, of course, is just wonderful, but sometimes it also happens that athletes are "a little" addicted ...
Yes, bodybuilding is a sport where athletes simply have to get bigger and drier, but when it comes to the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity, then human indignation and misunderstanding simply know no bounds. Many do not understand why women become like this, why they sacrifice their natural beauty and femininity for the sake of titles and medals...
10 PHOTOS
1. Meet Anne Louise Beke Machado Freitas, a 47-year-old former professional bodybuilder from the Brazilian city of Criciuma (State of Santa Catarina).
The first thing that catches your eye when looking at the photo of this athlete is, of course, her huge and very muscular legs.
2. How did she manage to pump them up like that?
Louise trains her legs three times a week, and her three favorite exercises are squats, leg presses, and lunges with dumbbells.
The Brazilian strives to visit the gym up to 5 times a week, allowing herself to relax, recover and chat with friends on weekends.
In terms of cardio, Louise runs on a treadmill or pedals on a stationary bike 2 times a week - she relies on her strict diet to keep her body fat percentage to a minimum.
3. But, of course, Louise was not always so athletic and muscular. In her youth, she was a thin, petite girl who lived an ordinary life.

5. Louise went to clubs with friends and, of course, did not plan to become an athlete with huge pumped-up legs. But once she saw photos of famous bodybuilders in a fitness magazine, she realized that this is exactly what she would like to devote her life to. And so began the sport's history of Ann Louise Freitas.
6. In 2008, Louise competed in the Figure category and won both local and national competitions, and in 2009 she moved up to the Bodybuilding category. At her first Olympia in 2012, Louise took 8th place, which can be considered a good result for her debut at the main tournament of the bodybuilding world.
But at her next Olympia, she could not even enter the TOP-5, and her best result was 6th place in 2014.
2013 - 9th place
2014 - 6th place
2016 - 16th place
2018 - 16th place
7. Louise is not a tall athlete at all. Her height is only 157 cm, and her weight is about 58-65 kg. But because of such low growth, her muscles seem even more massive than they really are. Yet it is not in vain that they say that bodybuilding is a sport of illusions.
8. Unlike most professional athletes, Louise still managed to lead a normal life, combining sports with the role of a parent and wife. The Brazilian is married to her former coach Ricardo Pennine and they have a daughter. Now a happy sports family lives in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
9. In addition to bodybuilding, Louise is also studying foreign languages. She is now fluent in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. In her free time, Ann plays tennis and also has a weakness for ballet and jazz.
10. The athlete, of course, has an Instagram page with over a million subscribers, which only confirms her fame and popularity.
