Currently one of the world’s most in-demand trainers, Ruben shares fascinating insights into the journey he takes with the individuals he works with. This podcast was created at the David Haye Gym and the very special atmosphere is captured as part of this engaging podcast.
KEY TAKEAWAYS • The jumping and plyometric work involved in ballet was a positive basis for my success in sports. An extended and unexpected illness that manifested itself as flu-like symptoms due to viruses attacking and destroying my immune system propelled me onto a path that led to me becoming a nutritionist, a sports therapist and a strengthening and conditioning coach studying biomechanics. I am always interested in anything that is alternative and will extend my knowledge base.
• I’ve taken different bits of information from lots of different sources and I piece it together, try it on myself and if it works I’ll then try it with my clients.
• I seek to give my clients a platform of complete health so that they are to springboard to do whatever they want.
• Water If you want to have more energy - drink more water. When you're born you are 90% water by the time you are an adult it is 70% and when you die you are made up of 50% water. You are fighting dehydration from the minute you are born. So, it makes sense to think about what you drink because it’s what makes up the most of you.
• Nutrition Nutrition is highly important, and every food has a certain energy We each have a different frequency and wavelength, when we are healthy it’s like a fingerprint. Everyone and everything has a wavelength and frequency.
When you measure the frequency of food wavelengths the higher the nutrient value or the density of the food the more the frequency will nourish you. A virus coming in will distort your wavelength frequency.
If you are in love, your wavelength frequency is small but if you are depressed or unhappy the wavelength frequency you give off is larger, fast foods also have the same large frequency. Like attracts like which is why when you feel unhappy you are attracted to junk foods.
• Taking Things Out The more toxins you can cut out from your system the better. When you’re talking about high levels of performance it’s the little things you’re taking out of the equation and what you are bringing in that create a breeding ground for amazing athletic performance whether you are an athlete, a business person or mum. You will find amazing levels of energy you didn’t think possible because you’re not bringing in toxins and have taken things that cause inflammation in the body such as wheat and dairy away.
• Training Strength training is good for athletes across all areas and it is particularly important for longevity. When training it’s important to do something that takes you out of your usual routine if you are exercising and not thinking about your work you are getting respite from it.
BEST MOMENTS ‘When I learnt about nutrition I had more questions than answers’ ‘David Haye is probably my most famous client and I’ve worked with him for 10 years’ ‘I am able to do what I do because of what happened to me, wouldn’t change it as it’s given me a foundation of knowledge’ ‘Nothing is a substitute for food, superfoods are a nutritional tool’ ‘I can give them 20 years of knowledge and experience that they can benefit from’ ‘The best investment you can make is in yourself’ ‘The more toxins you can cut out from your system the better’ ‘People should look into strength and conditioning coaches to look after them’ ‘I like solving problems’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study Podcast ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful.
