Eine führende Personal Trainerin hat die fünf Dinge aufgelistet, die sie nach 15 Jahren in der Branche zur „gesündesten und glücklichsten“ gemacht haben, die sie je war.

Rachael Attard, eine australische Ernährungsberaterin und Trainerin, die dafür bekannt ist, Frauen dabei zu helfen, ihre Traumkörper aufzubauen, ohne „massiv“ zu werden, sagte, sie habe endlich herausgefunden, was für sie funktioniert, nachdem sie jahrelang darauf hingearbeitet habe.

Die erste besteht darin, HIIT-Workouts zugunsten weniger intensiver Übungen aufzugeben.

„Low Impact Workouts anstelle von langen, hochintensiven Workouts, die mich erschöpft fühlen ließen“, sagte sie.

Sie entscheidet sich auch für Gehen statt Laufen und Spinning-Kurse.

“Gehen bringt mir bessere Ergebnisse und ist auch weniger belastend für meinen Körper”, sagte sie.

‘[I also] Ruhen Sie sich aus, anstatt mich bis zum Äußersten zu treiben, kümmern Sie sich um sich selbst, weil es eine Notwendigkeit und kein Luxus ist, und entscheiden Sie sich für intuitives Essen anstelle von extremen Diäten und restriktivem Essen.

Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass Rachael, 35, das Gehen lobt, wobei der Trainer regelmäßig sagt, dass es das Geheimnis für schlanke und straffe Beine und Oberschenkel ist. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

„Gehen ist die beste Übung für schlanke Beine. Es wird helfen, überschüssiges Fett an Ihren Beinen loszuwerden und sie zu strecken “, sagte sie zuvor.

'[I also rest instead of pushing myself to the extreme, do self care because it's a necessity, not a luxury and choose intuitive eating instead of extreme diets and restrictive eating,' she said

What are Rachael’s top five tips for health and happiness? 

1. Low impact workouts instead of long, high intensity workouts that left me feeling exhausted

2. Walking instead of running and spin class – walking gives me better results and is also less stressful on my body 

3. Rest instead of pushing myself to the extreme 

4. Self care because it’s a necessity, not a luxury  

5. Intuitive eating instead of extreme diets and restrictive eating

When you do cardio at a low to moderate intensity, she explained, the body burns stored glycogen (carbs) first, then fats.   ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

‘The longer you exercise, the more fat your body will burn. So, by doing longer power walks, your body will burn more fat and it will help you get lean legs,’ she said.

Rachael said she tried ‘every single workout under the sun’ but found ‘nothing is as effective in getting thinner thighs and legs overall as walking’.   

‘Through my years of working as a PT with girls that had the same goal (specifically to get skinny legs), this has always been the best method,’ she added.

What does your body type say about how you should train? 

ECTOMORPH

Ectomorphs are usually naturally slim (like Victoria’s Secret models) and they find it difficult to build muscle.

If you are an ectomorph body type, you probably already have naturally thinner legs. So, your goal here is to maintain (or perhaps lose a bit of stubborn lower body fat) while building lean muscle. 

This way your leg will get tone and definition and you’ll avoid the skinny fat look. 

MESOMORPH 

Mesomorphs can be quite athletic and respond quickly to exercise, which means they build muscles easily.

They can lose weight very fast, but can also gain weight quickly too. Usually, they are of average size.

If you are a mesomorph, overdoing workouts like squats and lunges can easily result in bulky legs. So, your goal here is to reduce body fat percentage and avoid exercises that will bulk up your legs in the process. 

ENDOMORPH 

Endomorphs naturally have a strong build and larger frame. They can build muscle very quickly and it’s slightly harder for them to lose weight. But, it’s not impossible!

If you are an endomorph body type, your goal is to really focus on reducing overall body fat and to completely avoid any workouts that may cause you to bulk up. 

'Your body type plays a massive role in how you tend to build muscle and lose weight and some body types are more likely to bulk up,' Rachael added

Rachael added that a walk first thing in the morning will lead to better results.

‘If you do cardio before you eat in the morning you will have less stored glycogen, and your body will, therefore, burn more fat and muscle,’ Rachael said.

‘Less fat and less muscle size equals slimmer legs but for this to work, you need to eat low carb (try not to eat carbs for dinner the night before so your glycogen levels are already low) and you need to do cardio for a fairly long period of time (over 60-90 minutes).’ 

She is often asked by clients whether walking or running is better for the legs - she always advises them to walk

Rachael Attard, the Gold Coast-based founder of the Lean Legs Program, prides herself in helping clients lose extra body fat and weight in the most efficient way; to do this she teaches them the 'fat burning zone'

‘Walking is the best type of exercise for lean legs. It will help get rid of excess fat on your legs and lean them out,’ she said

How can I slim down my inner thighs and burn fat? 

1. Maintain a healthy, balanced diet in order to lose any extra weight/body fat

2. Lots and lots of walking! This is the best exercise for slimming down your legs

3. Avoid exercises that will bulk up your legs

4. Don’t overwork your inner thigh muscles. Doing inner thigh leg exercises won’t get rid of fat here. It will make the muscles bigger. Resistance training will help, but you need to work all muscles in your butt, hips and thighs to help lift and tone, not just your inner thighs

Bottom line is there are three main steps to reducing muscle size and sculpting slim, toned legs: learning your body type, doing the right type of cardio (walking) and eating at a slight calorie deficit with low carbs. 

‘Your body type plays a massive role in how you tend to build muscle and lose weight and some body types are more likely to bulk up,’ Rachael added.

Knowing your body type (ectomorph, endomorph or mesomorph) is super important, she says, as some body types tend to bulk up more easily in their legs (and in general) than others.
