A GUIDE TO GETTING LEAN

  Recently I left a little quiz on my YouTube Channel about what burns fat more efficiently. Is it running or power walking?  The right answer is walking; Power Walking.  Here's the thing, the body creates energy in two ways; with oxygen(Aerobic) and without oxygen(Anaerobic). Hold on tight we are getting there. Now depending on the type of workout, one is doing the body will choose to either use fat or carbs for energy. Fat is usually what is stored. For most women, it is stored in the thighs and booty while for most men it is stored in the belly area. Carbs are usually what is available in the body at the moment. Maybe that piece of bread you just had. (Hold that thought right there) Let's take running and walking as our types of examples. When you are running you are most of the time running out of oxygen what we say 'gas'. You might be panting and breathing heavily trying to look for gas. On the other hand, when walking you are not panting, you can hold a simple ...

  I love to express my thoughts in any way I find convenient at the time. (well that is a weird way to start lol) My story with learning about lean legs and slimming down your legs started in  January 2020 after realizing I had bulked up and that was why my legs could not get smaller after all the workouts I did. If you have not read about my bulking up story read that first  here . Since it was something very close to my heart and something that really bothered me. I set up to know everything I could about bulking up and why my legs kept getting bigger. First up I did tones of research about body types and body shapes; things like are all ectomorphs rectangles? or are all mesomorphs pears? Hourglasses all this things. What I realized and have learnt is that different body types react differently to  different workouts. For instance an Endomorph who does loads of HIIT will most likely bulk up while an Ectomorph who still does the same amount of HIIT will ...

They have a small body frame. They are often slim, tall, and lanky. They do not gain muscle easily. They have a very fast metabolism. WORKOUT GUIDELINES.

Resistance Training  3 times a week Cardio 3 times a week 1 recovery day             Resistance Training These are the model type of workouts. Find the workouts done by Rachael Attard, Sanne Vander, and even myself on my YouTube Channel.  They are meant to help you tone up without building any ext...
