She assures that, for her, the time she " self-

kidnaps" to train"

has become a magical moment of "

disconnecting and recharging her energy

to face whatever comes."

Ambassador, along with the AC Milan player Zlatan Ibrahimovic, of Buddyfit -online training platform-, for Pilar Rubio, her motherhood was a real turning point in her sporting habits.

"The truth is that, before becoming a mother, I didn't have that

perseverance to train

that I have now. I guess it was because I felt that I didn't need to be as fit as I am now to work and take care of my four children and, in addition, it gave I didn't care what I ate because I didn't get fat. However, when I first got pregnant, I told myself:

'I want to remain the same!

"That's why I started to investigate, train and learn from the best."

There is no doubt that her method works because the pregnancies seem to have left no mark on her anatomy (at least not apparent), not even as soon as she left the delivery room.

"I know that I was criticized for the photos I published after giving birth, but I ask: Why do you have to have a bad face?

I have not given birth at home, without an epidural and

having a bad time . My four births have been wonderful I remember looking at the monitor and imagining that I was playing Super Mario Bros. When the contractions came, I breathed and thought: "Come on, calm down, this one has already passed.

Let's go for the next one!'"

What is your secret?

"I don't have any. In fact, I've always wanted to share with the people who follow me what I was doing to recover after giving birth. What if the skin on my belly hangs when I do planks? Well, no, it doesn't hang because

. .. I put everything inside!

", he confesses between laughs.

That graphic "everything inside" has become one of her maxims since she was a mother for the first time.

"In the postpartum period, the hypopressive method

came in handy

to recover. Once you are aware of your abdominal girdle, everything goes better. So... everything inside!"

What's more, the model and presenter is convinced that motherhood has helped her "

know my body better

and be more aware of my needs."

After four pregnancies, she continues, "I no longer think of doing crunches because I know they create outward pressure on my stomach that could

deepen the opening of the diastasis

. Because, whether you like it or not, there is a separation of the rectus abdominis and what I have to do is try to close it".

It doesn't run either.

"

My pelvic floor does not benefit from

an impact that, in the end, could cause a prolapse (the pelvic muscles and tissues, being weakened or damaged, cannot support the weight of the organs that they have to support, which can cause (they press or even fall into or out of the vagina.) I don't need to. That's why I prefer to go for other

non-impact cardio routines

that don't damage my pelvic floor or joints."

GET HOOKED ON THE SPORT

Before becoming a mother, she says, "I wasn't aware of any of that. But now, I try to pay more attention than ever to one of the basic principles of training,

personalization

, and that is one of the many reasons why I train. with Buddyfit, because, it designs a

'road map' tailored to each person according to their goals, time or even their mood

".

Rubio assures that he has found in Byddyfit the perfect ally to caress that complicated balance between body and mind that we all yearn for: "Sometimes, I am

so tired that I almost start crying

, but once the application started and the session with the trainers started, I It totally changes the mood. I get into the role of being super strong and, shortly after starting, I already feel better. What's more, if that day I've had an upset or a problem

, I channel that anger to turn it into strength

to give my best in my sessions".

For her, going to the gym is "a

super-necessary 'self-hijack'

. If I don't do it, then my back will hurt or I'll be in a worse mood. hour, four days a week, to train. Sometimes, it's at 6 am. Others, at 12. But I don't fail".

Triggering that

mental click

that makes us get hooked on sport can only be achieved, in his opinion, "if we convince ourselves that we are going to do something fun. We have to change the thought that going to the gym is a pain in the ass for that of 'I'm going to do something I like and, besides, it's good for me'".

The secret, beyond showing off a 'perfect' body, lies in adopting healthy lifestyle habits, "in doing physical activity on a regular basis, eating a good diet and resting".

The latter is his pending subject.

" I

'm a terrible

sleeper. The mindfulness part of the app has been really good for me and now I manage to get into a deeper sleep but by five or six I'm already awake. And then throughout the night I hear a cough and I'm on my way. We mothers live in a state of permanent alert!"
