In reply to Mya. Hi lovely! The key is to do it in moderation. That's why in Rachael's program, she recommends that you only run 2-3x a week in order to avoid overtraining and putting a lot of stress on your body. :)

I completely agree with this. Cortisol can make it extremely difficult to lose weight. My question is when it does come to exercise, I’ve heard and Rachael has said herself, that running can create high cortisol levels. I’ve looked at the exercise plan for mesomorphs and it says to do high intensity cardio 3 times a week. (It especially mentions running) Why would suggest that to lose fat when it raises cortisol levels, and makes it harder?

Hey lovely,

Thanks for reaching out :)

Yes hun, working out 5 times a week is plenty, it is definitely good for you. But be sure to listen to your body and not push yourself, you are still very young and your body is still forming :)
As for balancing your studies and fitness, you can make your studies a priority and do fitness in your spare time or when you need to take a break and relax. Exercising helps a lot with stress, and that way your breaks will be both fun and healthy :)

Let me know if I can help you with anything else <3

Love,
Sandra

Wow! This enlightened me,i’m eighteen going to nineteen in December,few weeks back I crave and feel stressed out as I would workout the 6 times a week but now after visiting Rachael’s blogs I’m going slow like working out 5 times a week. Is that OK for me (i’m mesomorph) I’m also following the 7 day cardioworkouts at home by Rachael cause presently I can’t hit gym or out but here’s a question;for a fresher in the university,how would you suggest I balance my studies with fitness routines so I won’t stress out cause definitely wanna reach for my lean leg goal?
Thanks,mardiyah

Hi lovely,
I’m so sorry to hear that! :( I would recommend working out and doing resistance training at least 3 days per week. On other days you could either go for a run or power walk. Walking throughout the day also counts!

Hello Rachael,
Thank you for this truthful and interesting testimony
I am very young, 25 years old, but I have a stressful life. My job is hard, long hours and pressure all day long. I have a good career but it’s really hard to feel great and relax after a work day. I don’t sleep well, I don’t eat well, because I am afraid to gain weight, and I have no pleasure at all to cook. I know I need to slow down, but I am following your Long Lean Program, and working out 6 times a week is pretty intense. I don’t want to feel guilty if I am skipping one day, but maybe it is the best thing to do…what do you think, can your program suit with a busy schedule ?
