Bulgarian Princess: U60 with bulging muscles, face with complications and stiffness

Princess Kalina was born in 1972, the fifth daughter of King Simeon and Queen Margarita. In 2002, she married Spanish explorer and scientist Kitín Muñoz.

Previously, she was said to have a delicate beauty, harmonious features, and a slim figure. However, Princess Kalina has recently attracted more and more attention with her muscular image, looking extremely strong.

Princess Kalina is known to have been passionate about fitness for more than two decades. She said: "If I don't exercise, I don't feel healthy. The only reason I do it is to be healthy and feel comfortable."

As a child, she spent time skiing and hiking with her father. Later, when they got married, her husband became her close companion during training sessions.

Princess Kalina has a clear training schedule for each exercise, alternating regular training days with running sessions. She can pull 70kg dumbbells, lift 30kg dumbbells for shoulder exercises and lift 20kg dumbbells for biceps exercises. In addition, she often walks her dog in the mountains for about 4 hours a day and enjoys outdoor activities such as horseback riding, skiing, surfing...

In addition to exercising, Ms. Kalina also shared that she always maintains good nutrition and gets 8 hours of sleep to stay in good shape.

What are the benefits of exercise for women?

Marc Matarazzo, MD (a licensed orthopedic surgeon at the Palm Beaches Bone and Joint Surgery Center in Florida, USA) said: Physical exercise brings many benefits to mental and physical health, including increasing muscle size and strength, improving cardiovascular health, increasing bone density, stabilizing and protecting joints, reducing fat, improving sleep quality...

Gym workouts help women lose excess fat, gain muscle, and achieve a firmer, more balanced body. Regular exercise also helps the body burn calories more effectively, supporting the weight loss process and maintaining an ideal weight.

Exercise strengthens the heart and lungs, improves cardiovascular function, reduces blood pressure, cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease.

Weight-bearing exercise or strength training helps increase bone density, prevent osteoporosis, and reduce the risk of fractures. This is especially important as women enter perimenopause and menopause.

Regular exercise helps the body become stronger, more flexible and more resilient, helping women cope with daily activities with ease, as well as feel full of energy.

5 things to remember when exercising to keep your body in shape and avoid injury

1. Maintain a reasonable diet: Nutrition plays a very important role in maintaining and improving your figure. Eat enough protein to support muscle growth, combined with fiber from vegetables and healthy fats. Avoid foods high in sugar, fat and eating more calories than your daily needs.

2. To keep your body fit and avoid boredom, change your exercises regularly: Combine cardio exercises, strength exercises and flexibility exercises like yoga or pilates to develop comprehensive muscles and burn excess fat.

3. Drink enough water: Water helps maintain muscle flexibility, supports metabolism and removes toxins from the body. Drink enough water before, during and after exercise to keep the body hydrated.

4. Work out regularly, but don't overdo it: You need to have a scientific training plan, for example, working out 4-5 times a week and taking at least one or two days off. Rest helps muscles recover and grow.

5. Sleep is an important time for the body to recover after exercise: Getting 7-8 hours of sleep each night helps the body repair muscle tissue, produce hormones and maintain energy for the next workout.

The appearance is increasingly different

Not only her body, this princess also caused controversy because of her deformed beauty. At the age of 52, Princess Kalina's appearance is very different from when she was young. During her appearance with her family at the end of May, Kalina attracted attention with her strong arms, prominent muscles and deformed face.

Hello reposted photos of Princess Kalina when she was young, showing her elegant and harmonious features. When she studied Art History in London, Kalina had short, platinum blonde hair that stood out. However, in the early 2000s, Kalina's facial features became strange, sparking rumors that she had gone overboard with cosmetic surgery. In 2018, Princess Bulagria's husband later confirmed that his wife's appearance was the result of a childhood accident.

"All the absurd theories about Kalina's surgeries and cosmetic treatments are just false information," Spanish scientist Kitín Muñoz denied rumors that his wife abused cosmetic surgery.

Mr. Kitin shared with Hello Spain that Princess Kalina had fallen and broken two front teeth when she was 8 years old. In 1999, Kalina had a crown but complications spread to the cartilage of her nose. At the time of the serious complications, the Bulgarian Princess and her husband were on a sea expedition and did not have enough medical facilities.

"The inability to get to hospital and the conditions at sea made her condition worse, affecting part of her eye. It caused cosmetic damage, but at that time it was important to save her eye and nose from the above condition," Mr Kitin said.
