Hi lovely! It’s true that we recommend stretching right after your workouts because this will help relieve muscle tension and soreness. However, if your legs get bulky easily and you want to avoid building more muscle, the best exercises to avoid are those where you can feel your quads burning. This includes squats, deadlifts, lunges, and overdoing it on the HIIT exercises including burpees, jump lunges, jump squats and box jumps.

Also, you can check out our Lean Legs Program which is designed to help you get slim and toned legs without causing any unwanted bulkiness. If you have any questions, you may reach out to us at info@rachaelattard.com. :)

[…] Your muscles might not feel super sore like they do after a weights session, but you still need to stretch! If I don’t stretch after a run, I get really tight quads the next day. I know stretching is the last thing you feel like, but even 5 minutes is enough. Stretch your quads, calves, hamstring, glutes and hip flexors. Bonus points if you can do some foam rolling!
