Since the Victorias secret fashion show was aired over here in the UK last week, Girls have been flooding in to the gym asking the same question, ” how can i look like a Victorias secret model?”. Its great to see girls want to get in shape and look fit but for the vast majority of you, the answer is… you won’t ever look like one. Not because you don’t have what it takes to train intensely for months on end and follow a strict diet but because your GENETICS will not allow you to. The girls that walk the runways are models for a reason. All of them are naturally thin and can maintain a low body fat with little effort. Yes alot of them do train like crazy also, but i think you will find that if you looked at some of their first shoots as models, they all still had good figures. With that being said, you can still get in GREAT shape no matter what kind of genetics you have. It doesn’t matter if your 5,10″ with long legs and a naturally thin stomach or your shorter and carry excess fat.
So how do i actually tone up and lose weight?
If you follow these 5 key steps i can guarantee you will see great progress and start to achieve your fitness goals in no time.
1.) Train often and stay consistent – To make progress you need to be staying consistent with your exercise and diet.
2.) Eat clean – I always say its 70% diet and 30% exercise. Cut out all junk food and bad carbs and start eating healthy and more nutritious meals.
3.) Do cardio – The easiest way to lose weight is to get on some sort of cardio based regime. High intensity cardio mixed with body weight exercises are perfect.
4.) Body weight exercises – Resistance training for girls is hugely effective, it doesn’t only aid weight loss but doing a mixture of body weight exercises and actually lifting light weights for high repetitions will tone and shape your muscles and give you that look you’ve always wanted.
5.) Don’t be fooled – There is so many diet plans and weight loss courses that promise girls certain results. The majority of them are useless. A mixture of regular exercise and maintaing a healthy diet will work just fine.
