• ALICE CAMPELLO "Sometimes I would like to be like other people, who can count on their partner on weekends"

• BOXING The fitness method that will knock you out arrives in Madrid

She is an all-terrain woman.

An unstoppable eternal smile.

The presenter

(Gijón, May 29, 1986) is encouraged by any sporting discipline.

In the same way that she accepts new challenges before the cameras no matter what they say.

She doesn't like boxing gloves.

Neither is she the jungle that sometimes appears on television.

The Asturian journalist clarifies that the reason to vent training has never been to put on the exotic bikinis that she wears on shows like

or

.

Almost camouflaged with the orchard, those ethnic outfits in which she shows

are already her hallmark.

But she sweats for his

That is not negotiated.

She is clear.

We have seen her as an expert choreographer dancing with Dani Miralles, running with her dogs, doing yoga, strength training... Which of these sports options is her secret to taking care of herself?

But not the body, the mind!

Notice that I started training because of the opposite of what people will think.

It was having routine, perseverance and what made me calm down again.

I'm very nervous.

My head doesn't stop.

The only moment in which I can truly disconnect is the hour and a half that I dedicate to myself.

At first I chose fitness routines on my own, especially with machines in the gym.

And I kept spinning in my head, I wasn't listening to the music or concentrating on anything.

Boxing got me focused, because either I did it or I took it.

[laughs].

It has helped me so much that instead of a routine it has now become a necessity.

It is what makes that for my head there is only the specific objective of that moment. And now that you are recording a 'reality' with Mediaset in Cádiz, do you take the kit?

Because the ring can't...

The first thing I put in the suitcase was my complete kit.

I have a step [portable box], the kettlebell [Russian weight], a TRX [bands for suspension training], my dumbbells... If I know that I am going to be working in a fixed place, like Cádiz or before in Honduras, I I set up my gym and do my routines.

How much time do you dedicate to training? At least one hour three days a week and sometimes I manage to make it four.

For me it is a necessary time.

I try to mix strength and cardio training with a bit of mobility, even if it's just stretching for a few minutes in the morning.

Until not long ago there was a lot of mythology regarding strength training and women.

But there we have the arms of Queen Letizia, which monopolize numerous headlines.

And her muscles on television. I'm also a fan!

Strength seems essential to me.

Is taking Lúa and Noah out for a walk also a sport?

Does he reach 10,000 steps?

It seems that training is just sweating hard and not at all.

Although I need it if I want to be more active, because of the vitality I have, being in nature with my dogs helps me to connect a lot.

It all depends on the moment and how you feel.

Do you have a personal trainer or do you use apps?

Now I'm with Crys Dyaz and we make video calls.

When we can't combine schedules, I'm very used to training on my own because I've been training for many years.

I have in my head the types of exercise, the time I should spend on each of them and I do my circuit.

I promise myself not to cheat.

And even if I don't feel like it sometimes, I do it.

In addition to exercise, another of the legs of care is rest.

Does it reach that recommended minimum of between seven and eight hours?

This has changed over the years.

Today I sleep six hours and I'm full.

It already seems like a luxury to reach those six.

In addition, I am an early riser and very daytime.

I live the morning since 7 that I take Lúa and Noah out.

Since the loves of my life, the furry ones, are in it, it's not that they adapt to me, it's that I adapt to them.

For me it is essential that wherever I go they are well received.

And I have the most pampering grandparents in the world.

That is enormous peace of mind for me. Food, another pillar.

Do you diet?

More than diet in terms of setting weight goals is learning to eat.

Generate stability in the nutrition you carry.

And there are already things that do not compensate me even if I have my whims.

I make the famous

: regular clean food and one day off a week.

Above all, eating is knowing what feels good to you and having a balance.

After hiring nutritionists and trainers at specific moments in my life, I have managed to reach him with my own experience. What does he have in his toiletry bag? Cleaning and moisturizing products for my cosmetic routine.

During the day I wear a very natural make-up: blush, mascara and on the street.

When I want to feel sexier, I apply a few drops of my Sensual Soul perfume by Equivalenza and put the corner of my eye and my lip red.

Do you meditate or go to therapy? Every day.

The part of self-knowledge completes all this that we talk about nutrition, exercise, the soul... We are a whole.

What we eat.

What we feel.

What we say.

Everything is connected in a very deep way.

The part of how you talk to yourself and how you approach what surrounds you also marks your health.

If you are not mentally well, the body physically does not work no matter how much you want to pull it.

I believe that the success of good health is to have it inside and out.

Being a famous person means being constantly in question.

We have just seen her partner Cristina Pedroche answering a girl on social networks who messed with how she dresses.

How does she clean herself of the comments?

Does she enter the rag or ignore them?

Totally, there is a public exposure due to our work and my way of dealing with it or not disconnecting from myself is to do everything I can every day to listen to myself.

Because it's not the same when someone criticizes you if you haven't slept well that day, if you accumulate a lot of work, if you haven't had time to play sports... That day you don't feel good about yourself and everything outside affects you much more.

But if you manage to reach balance it is very difficult for someone from outside to destabilize you.

Although we all have our moments and one day you may have the bad luck that it happens in an event in front of everyone and you jump, the greatest shield you can put on what comes from outside is to have clarity on the inside.

Society reacts more sensitively to everything that is said or seen since we all have a mobile phone in hand.

Do you feel the weight of that responsibility?

Do you live in fear of the public's reaction? Being a well-known person who transmits messages that reach so many homes or on social networks, I attach great importance to self-control.

Less noise outside, more inside.

Less expectations, more work.

Less waiting, more looking at you.

It is a commitment that I have acquired with my work but, above all, personal to be able to continue dedicating myself to this.

The public exposure has to be there because the moment it disappears, it will no longer make sense to continue in this.

What interprets the one in front is already his problem.

There comes a point where if you believe your values ​​are good for you,

you try to share them with others because they have helped you.

It is not about imposing them on anyone.

If in this society in which everything goes fast, sports and meditation help me, I won't tell you to do it, but I do show you that you can get something positive out of it.

Where they take good care of it is in Asturias.

Is she as much a surfer as her Bosco brother?

[laughs].

Nope!

I like more to see that

that he has surfing while I contemplate the sea and the sunset.

I'm lovin 'it!

I've tried several times and I manage to get up off the board, but my brother's level is another problem.

He goes every day, even if it's cold, it rains... Instead of boxing he has found surfing.

My brother Bosco is my favorite adventure partner in life.

Being nine years younger than me, he has taught me a lot with his way of enjoying the little big moments. He is in great demand at Mediaset... It's a good moment.

I defend my own values, what I think and what I feel.

They tell me that I am now taking out my character.

I have always had it and I show it when necessary.

The difference is that there is no longer a fear of showing what I am and who I am.

I can be wrong, but I try to take my steps consciously.

The important thing is your own judgement.
