We were lucky enough to grab our sexy Torso of the Year winner, 38 year old personal trainer Fabio Domingues, for a chat about how he keeps his body looking so hot and how it felt to have a landslide victory (he got around 2000 more votes than number 2! Wow!) in the toughest Torso competition Heat has ever seen…

How does it feel to be the Heat torso winner?

It's just an amazing feeling. I have to respect everyone who took part. There were some really good people on the shortlist, really good looking people. I'm just lucky that I made it.

You're a personal trainer so what did you think of the competition? Were you looking at them how we would look at them, at their bodies?

Yes exactly, there were a lot of fit guys in there. I think it was a bit tough, you know. It's nice to see that there are a lot of people looking after themselves. It's quite cool.

What do you do to get your torso looking so good?

I work hard. I mean, I have fun also and I don't make that my lifestyle. 

Really? You've got a ten-pack surely?

At first I was a completely unhealthy person, I was a really fat guy, I was like nearly thirty stone when I was 22 years old.

Oh my god. That's quite a big turn around. So what made you change then?

I wanted to live long. I wanted to do things that normally I couldn’t do, I'd get tired really easily. I knew that my body couldn't support that so I just made a big change. 

So you now go to the gym everyday?

Yes. But I don't preach that. I don’t think everybody has to do as I did, there are lots of ways to get fit. Getting fit is not just about appearance. Although appearance is consequence, it is just a reason for you to get better and for you to feel better about yourself.

Readers will want to know how to get your body or how to get their boyfriend's body like yours. What shall we tell them?

I do completely different stuff, I’m very creative with my movements, I don’t like people going in there and always doing the same thing. You think ‘oh no, why should I go to the gym? To do exactly the same stuff every single day, step on the treadmill for like 30 minutes, an hour’ So no, my workouts are really dynamic, very creative.

Do you do weights?

Yes, lots of body weights. I train myself and I train my clients. It works really well actually. I like to see their happiness and see that they are getting better.

Do you do one to one personal training then?

Yes I do one to one, and I do boot camps.

Have you ever trained any celebrities?

No I haven't actually. It's not something I feel like I have to do.

Have you got one top tip for getting in shape?

I'd say start eating properly. I don’t believe in extremes. So start eating properly, and start to move more.

Who would you want to look like? Obviously you look great already, but is there anyone who you think has an amazing body?

I've been to the cinema to see The Avengers and Chris Evans has the body.

Which female celebrity do you think has the ideal figure?

Well there are lots of them! Jennifer Lopez. She has an amazing body and she's worked really hard.

And who nominated you?

A client of mine, Alison. She's a really super girl. She trains really hard. She's been with me for nearly a year now. She came to me and said ‘you should do that’ so I said ‘OK!’

What do you have to say to the people who voted for you?

I would like to thank everybody. Anyone who just looked at a picture of me in the competition and thought "I am going to vote for this guy".

So what are you going to do next, now you are the heat reader torso winner? Modelling?

Not really, that was enough. It was good fun but... I'll stick to personal traning.
