A word from Rachael:
”If you’ve been following me on Instagram, or reading my blog, you know how much our amazing community members (and us!) love to learn about other women’s transformation stories. It is beyond motivating and reminds us that hard work pays off!”
In this interview, we’ve learned about the journey of 39 y/o Chaya. She is based in Switzerland and she completed 2 rounds of our Lean Legs 1 Program after realizing she got too bulky for her liking by lifting weights.
I really hope you enjoy reading about her journey and feel just as inspired by her as we are :)
CHAYA’S REVIEW OF THE LEAN LEGS 1 PROGRAM
1. Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
CHAYA: Hi, my name is Chaya, and I’m from Zürich, Switzerland. I’m 39 years old and work as a marketing manager.
I’ve been into fitness for more than a year. I was always skinny, but over the years, I gained some weight and became skinny fat. It was time to do something about that.
First, I started with running, and then I tried the 12-3-30 method for a couple of weeks. Not seeing the results I wanted, I switched to heavy weight lifting for 5 months. However, my legs became very bulky, and I didn’t feel good in my body. At that time, my weight was 60 kg.
Feeling kind of desperate, I looked for a solution to get slimmer legs and lower body fat. That’s when I found Rachel’s Lean Legs program in February this year. My body started transforming quickly. The quick progress I saw kept me motivated. Thanks to the program, I learned what my body type was.
Also, I started to eat right (80/20) and the right amount to see quick results. I counted calories but stopped and now listen to my body and its needs.
Thanks to Narelle and Rachel, I got into the best shape of my life :)
By now, I have completed two rounds of LLP1 and reached my goals (slimming down my legs and toning up my body) thanks to that :) Today I am 5 kg down and started this week with LLP2.
I finally feel great in my body! THANK YOU!!
To all women who struggle with self-love and how they feel about their bodies, I really recommend this program.

2. Did you know your body type before starting our program? Did finding out your body type changed your fitness routine?
CHAYA: No, I didn’t know my body type before the program. And yes it really changed my fitness routine finding out my body type :)
3. What was your fitness routine before you started the program? What made you change it?
CHAYA: I got bulky after lifting heavy weights. Before that I always did cardio and I became skinny fat.
BTW, Chaya is an Ectomorph body type and she followed my Lean Legs Program for Ectomorphs. :)

4. WHAT is your diet like? Can you tell us what you typically eat in a day?
CHAYA: I‘m vegan and I love to eat healthy. I follow the 80-20 rule. The times calorie counting are over and no more struggle with „bad“ food. I usually have a protein banana shake for breakfast. For lunch/dinner I have most of the time vegetables, tofu and whole grains.

After 4 weeks I start seeing results and it motivated me to go all in :)
6. What was your absolute favorite part of the program and why?
CHAYA: I loved the way Narelle and Rach kept me motivated through the program. My favorite part was stretching after resistance training, and I love to get 10k steps in most of the days.
