Hello Rachael!!
First i justo wanted to thank you for this amazing program, it has allowed me to retch my goals and feel the most comfortable with myself yet.
So, i run about 3 days a week, and do around 6-8Km in 40-50min per day, but if one day i wanted to slim my legs again what would be the running/ walking racius a week for me to see results?
Thank you a lot!!!

Hi lovely,

Running and power walking are both great cardio for burning calories and losing fat. Running is a type of high-intensity cardio that actually builds muscle so it’s not recommended for some women especially endomorphs. Power walking is light-intensity cardio where you walk at a faster speed than normal.

There’s also a difference in the motion that you use. Running engages your quads a lot and can cause unwanted bulkiness while power walks won’t cause bulkiness at all.

If you need more help or tips, feel free to email us at info@rachaelattard.com

Love,
Len

Hey lovely,

Thanks for reaching out! :)

It is so exciting that you are starting this fitness journey! :)

It would be best to track the appearance of your legs for a couple of weeks and see how it affects your legs.
Some girls benefit greatly from running while others tend to bulk up from it.

If you notice them bulking up, it would be best to swap running with more power walking.
Rachael recommends doubling up on the time invested – e.g. if the run was supposed to be 20 minutes long, make sure that you do a 40 minute power walk instead. :)
Also, make sure that you do it on a flat surface to avoid any chances of bulking up due to the incline. :)

If you have any other questions feel free to contact info@rachaelattard.com and we’ll gladly help. :) xx

Love,
Ana

Hi, Rachel! I just started the program. I’m a endomorph. I’m used to heavy functional training that resulted in unwanted muscle and I feel very unconfortable… I’m used to run 5-6km in a flat surface… Would that add muscle to my legs? Or should I avoid so many km? Thanks in advanced!
