Three reasons why you don't look toned
- Rachael Attard, from Sydney, said you won't see results if you focus on cardio
- Need to incorporate regular weights and eat right for your shape to look toned
Rachael Attard, from Sydney, said in order to have the appearance of being fit, you need to have enough muscle and a low enough body fat that you can see your muscles.
Rachael attributes a lack of overall body tone to three reasons and said she saw a huge difference with her own body when she started paying attention to them and doing something different.
The first thing the PT said you absolutely have to stop doing is relying on only cardio to keep you fit and looking good.
'If you only do cardio, you won't build muscle and you will never look toned,' Rachael wrote on Instagram.
'Tone is muscle, you don't need lots of muscle to look toned, but be sure to add some resistance training into your workout routine.'
Rachael said she sweet spot is between three and four sessions of weights or body weight exercises like planks and mountain climbers each week.
You can then supplement this with a couple of cardio sessions, which can include walking.
Rachael is a huge fan of walking and aims to get 8,000-10,000 steps every day. She said it's one of 'the best' exercises to tone your legs.
2. Stop eating incorrectly
The second thing Rachael said you need to stop doing if you want to look toned is eating either too much or too little - both of which will result in a less-than-ideal physique.
'If you eat a lot more than your body needs, then you'll likely have too much body fat for your muscles to be visible,' she said.
'On the flipside, if you eat too little, then you're damaging your metabolism (and hormones) and making it harder for yourself long term.'
