Briefly about the life of Mikhail Kazakov

The full name of the Russian actor is Mikhail Sergeevich Kazakov, who is now in business. Mikhail gained popularity as an actor during his participation in the TV series "Yeralash" where he played the role of a chubby boy. And since 2007, he took part in "Daddy's Daughters" for his role, he gained a lot of weight to seem like a sweet and friendly young man. While the shooting was underway, Kazakov did not limit himself to food, but at the end of the series, he decided to pull himself together and went in for sports. Now you don't recognize him, not a trace of the plump guy is left.

In 2018, Mikhail turned 30 and, looking at him, it's hard to imagine that this man of athletic build was previously a well-fed guy. Now, with an increase of 180 centimeters, he weighs only 77 kilograms.

The secret of Polezhaikin's slimness

According to the actor himself, all his life he walked in hand with sports, ran, swam, was in continuous movement. One incident on the set surprised everyone when the actor lost 30 kilos, but the director told Mikhail to gain weight again so as not to deviate from the image.

When the filming of the series ended, Mikhail again lost weight thanks to sports, he exchanged his car for walking. On the day, the Kazakov walked about 30, and sometimes 40 km. The result of such intense exercise was a weight reduction of up to 77 kg. The actor has incredibly changed and claims that in the fight against weight can only help:

1. Regular walking long distances;
2. Give up any means of transportation, even an elevator;
3. Physical activity and sports;
4. You should not resort to a rigid diet;
5. And a lot of effort is the only way you can achieve the desired result.

Recently, Mikhail appeared in public in a completely renewed image, having noticeably lost weight and changing his hairstyle, he does not at all look like the well-known Polezhaikin.

He was able to achieve his success in the fight against excess weight only thanks to heavy loads and completely switching to walking. Mikhail argues that it is better to give preference to sports than to exhaust yourself with exhausted diets, after which you can quickly regain your previous weight.
