“There is so much love and so much respect between Sergio and me that there is no room for a crisis, especially now that we need to support each other,” he says.
The Law of Best Effort. It is the golden rule that governs the career of Pilar Rubio, a woman who even when she sunbathes on the beach feels that she is “wasting time.” It was instilled in him at home. “As a child, if we were doing multiplication in class, I was already doing square roots with my father.” And so on until today. “The only way to evolve is not to stay in the comfort zone,” he says. At 43, the hyperactive Pilar is divided between Paris, where she lives with Sergio Ramos and her four children, and Madrid, where she works in television, fashion, advertising … And now she also publishes a book. The ‘superwoman’ manual? No. But it is a guide for us poor mortals to discover how so many sticks can be played without dying in the attempt … He has titled it: ‘My method to lead a healthy life’.
The book, in which the nutritionist Elisa Blázquez, the physiotherapist Caroline Correia and the personal trainer Noe Todea also collaborate, includes from exercise tables to advice on how to eat, and is designed for all women, «from their fertile stage to postpartum , the climacteric or menopause, moments in which we sometimes feel misunderstood ». Rubio preaches that you have to take care of body and mind in the same proportion because they are ‘hyper-connected’. And he warns: «We must banish the conception that training is suffering and dieting is horrible. No. Training is enjoying yourself, having some time to yourself. And eating healthy is wonderful, because you have a thousand options. You just have to change the chip.
Within a few weeks of its publication, Pilar Rubio’s method has already become the best seller on the Amazon platform among training and coaching publications. “I am not a ‘Midas queen’ who turns everything to gold, but in all the projects that I get involved I give one hundred percent. In the end it shows and people support the effort. I am happy with the welcome I have ». Above all, because the benefits obtained will go to children with butterfly skin, a disease that Rubio is highly sensitized to. “I have met several mothers whose children have this problem and it is terrible. The WHO defines it as one of the most painful ailments that exist.
The five pillars of the Rubio method are “Rest, training, nutrition, physiological knowledge and, above all, mind.” But there is one that she does not fulfill as she would like: to sleep eight hours. I can’t there. I don’t know how to do it anymore, really. Eleven o’clock arrives and I still have some exercises in French or English to complete. And I get overwhelmed … In the end I start doing things and sleep three, four hours … »
– And that does not harm your marital relationship?
–Noooo, because I have time for everything, except to sleep, ha, ha, ha … A few days I dedicate myself more to one thing than another, but I try not to neglect any of my facets.
Behind this lack of sleep are also his four children: Sergio, seven years old, Marco, six years old, Alejandro, three years old, and Máximo Adriano, only one year old … «I try to do with them what my father used to do with me , but I go little by little, in a subtle way so that they don’t notice that pressure. I say to them: Go on, guys, if you already know how to add! Well, let’s see if we now take something away and this is called subtracting ». But, above all, the teacher Pilar Ramos learns … «Thanks to them I have learned more to listen than to speak, because I already know my life but what others have to tell me enriches me».
These days the talk has been his supposed new friendship with Antonela Rocuzzo, Leo Messi’s wife. And it is that the wife of the former captain of Barça and that of the former captain of Madrid have begun to follow each other on the networks … However, the Torrejón does not want to go into details. “I have always thought that a team is a great family and as such we all support and respect each other. Our children at the end participate in birthdays and there is a very good tune ».
Nor does Pilar want to hear about the recent rumors about a relationship crisis with Ramos, burdened by an injury that has kept him almost five months without playing for his new team, PSG. «Crisis in my marriage, they say? The first news I have … But obviously it is not like that, there is so much love and so much respect, that these things do not fit and less in times when we need to support each other much more. The changes have been changes for everyone and a united family is much stronger. That at least is what both Sergio and I think ».
