Need to get shredded fast?

Coach Ruben Tabares can get

you in shape quick with light

weights and kale. No kidding!

1 )Nutrition is

number one

“This is your first fix,”

says Tabares. “Drink

more water, consume

more chlorophyll

(from green veg) to

alkalise your body

and eat for your blood

type. That means less

pork and more fish for

type A, less chicken

andmoreredmeat

for type B. When I first

worked with Haye he

was struggling with

cramp but switching

from processed

supplements to natural

sources cured him

overnight. Small

tweaks to your diet

like these can help you

shift4%bodyfatin

just a week. Whatever

tendons, ligaments

and joints using very

light weights and

high reps. That’ll last

two months, then it’s

strength training, then

strength endurance

and power work. Only

then will I unleash

you do, make it fun.

Can’t stand kale? I

berries and almond

ice cream to my kids.”

2 )Don’t get fanatical

about food

“Alldietsarevalidbut

they do have flaws.

You miss crucial brain-

healthy animal fat on a

vegan diet, for example.

Read the science, trust

your experience and

adaptifyourhealth

is jeopardised.”

3 )Earn your HIIT

“I’m a longevity expert.

When I start training

someone I put them

through a process

called “adaptation”

to condition their

power endurance,

aka HIIT, on them. If

you dive straight into

it you’ll get hurt.”

4 )The world needs

more Versa Climbers

“Theyonlytakeup

onesquaremetrebut

they’re the ultimate

cardiokit.Ifyoufind

one, do this challenge:

record how many

metres you can climb

in 60 seconds. 65m

is fit, 80m is fit for an

athlete, 95m+ is elite.”

5 )The deadlift

is king

“A strong posterior

chain — hamstrings,

glutesandback—

makes everything

easier, including

HIIT. Deadlift every

week. Never go

abovefivereps.

Builduptoyour

lifting weight slowly,

stay there for three

to five sets. Rest

then recover.”■

The great thing about

the Versa Climber is

you can even use it in a

small apartment. It’s the

ultimate space-friendly

kit: excellent for HIIT

workouts and improving

cardio output and health. It

also has a voice guidance/

feedback module display.
