Anfisa has a highlight on her Instagram page showing her preparation so far in 2019 and in a recent post, she noted how it’s “getting serious!” The former 90DF star posted an update less than a week ago, revealing that her car was broken into. “I have two exams next week … yet I’m over here like,” she captioned a video, showing her practicing her onstage poses. “Just improvising based on videos I watched,” Anfisa spilled, adding how she needs to start taking actual lessons.

“I gained ~10 lbs in the last 5 months and happy to see they went to all the right places,” Anfisa wrote via another update in early April. Back in December, she opened up about her fitness journey and revealed what compelled her to take things to the next level.

“As you know(or maybe not know) my husband got sentenced to 2.5 years in prison on September 7 (for details check out my YouTube channel),” Anfisa began. “To be honest, it has been very hard on me because Jorge [Nava] and I are not just husband and wife but we are truly best friends and we used to share everything with each other and since we aren’t together physically now and only get to talk to each other once a day it feels like a big part of me was taken away.”

Anfisa explained that she wanted to focus on becoming the best version of herself while her husband was away “to fill the void she felt after Jorge was sentenced.” She explained, “I was left on my own I decided to try to stay busy and do what I enjoy the most and it was working out. And ONE DAY I want to take it on a higher level and compete in NPC bikini division.” Way to go!
