Fitness Model Ruba Ali in Two-Piece Workout Gear is “Back With a Big Surprise”

Women’s Best.

Ruba is a fan of progressive overload. “My training philosophy is simple, keep it functional, fun and challenging. The human body was designed to adapt to stress, so making sure that we are progressively increasing the intensity while following proper training protocols helps keep our progress moving,” she says.

“I believe that training is not ‘a one method fits all’, in fact there is no such thing as the ‘right’ training method – we all have different goals and genetic makeup. This is where trial and error comes into play, only the individual who goes through the process will eventually discover what works best for their own body,” she tells Women’s Best. “The area of my specialization is a combination of training methods such as, stabilization endurance, functional strength training, hypertrophy training and power training. The goal with any training program is to make sure it is well-balanced, versatile and looks after every component to keep the body strong from the inside out.”df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

Does Ruba restrict herself when it comes to food? “No, I don’t believe in diets – fueling the body to repair, recover and grow requires all macronutrients, fats, proteins and carbohydrates. By consuming every macronutrient without restrictions, we prevent undereating or even worse, binge eating. The 80/20 rule is a place to start where you shape 80% of your meals with whole natural unprocessed foods, while the other 20% is left for treats. This method helps you make wiser decisions and with time you’ll naturally opt for healthier options so that your body can actually benefit from the food you are consuming on a daily basis,” she tells Women’s Best.

What was her surprise? In another post, she revealed she had become a Sweat Trainer. “The secret’s out… Welcome your newest Sweat Trainer, @realrubaali,” the fitness app wrote. “Ruba’s bringing her unique blend of strength, vulnerability, and energy straight to the Sweat app. After a decade dedicated to fitness, she recently took a much-needed pause to reset and reconnect with herself.
