Rachael Attard Lean Legs program for mesomorphs- In a nutshell.
Mesomorphs are one of the three types of bodies.
Some characteristics Of Mesomorphs
- They are well built and have an athletic figure.
- They show some muscle definition.
- They gain weight easily
- They also at times can lose weight quickly too.
By the way, I have prepared a one-week workout program that will help you slim down your legs easily,you can check it out Here

That been said, the Racheal Attard program for mesomorphs recommends 3 things;
1. HIIT (3 times a week)
2. Resistance Training ( 3 times a week)
3. Low carb diet high in protein.
4. Power Walking (5 times a week)
Let's get into the details
CARDIO.
Rachael Attard recommends POWER WALKING as the best form of cardio for mesomorphs. This is because walking burns so much fat without causing bulk. Power walking is basically walking for 45+ minutes at a slow pace and hitting 14000 steps.
Try to aim to do walking 5 times a week for best results.
HIIT
Try to do some HIIT at least 3 times a week. The best form of HIIT would be boxing and nonbulking HIIT(some in Rachael's Instagram)
RESISTANCE TRAINING.
The biggest mistake that mesomorphs make is doing the wrong kind of resistance training that causes them to bulk up their legs. As most women do( including myself)squats and lunge thinking they will reduce bulk. This kind of workout will actually make their legs bigger.
The best type of workouts is those recommended by Rachael Attard on her Instagram and YouTube channels. They are so effective yet they do not cause bulk. Most of them are what we call Low-intensity interval training. This blog Here will help you understand why they are the best workouts.
I can also suggest Sanne Vander workouts they are also lean leg workouts.
DIET( low carb diet)
Mesomorphs should have a diet consisting of;
(30%-35%) carbohydrates
(35%-40%) proteins
30% fat

Will it help slim my thighs and legs as a mesomorph?
Than you for trying the workouts. Yeah just checked out Lena's workout it is great and should work for you
Deleteresistance training is not similar to weight training. Weight training uses weights which I do not like to overdo because they can easily bulk especially for a mesomorph. There is booty workouts on YouTube which can grow your booty without using weights
ReplyDeleteis rollerskating a good workout for mesomorphs? if so, how long should i rollerskate for?
ReplyDeleteAll workouts are great and if you love doing it you should not stop. The only thing I would advice on is not overdoing it too much. So an hour for 3 days a week should be good
DeleteIs there any ab workout that you can share ? I like doing planks and crunches so i just want to make sure that it doesn't make me look bulky
ReplyDeleteThere's this I have, https://youtu.be/kmV7naSnSnw
