“It’s wild that people don’t prioritize their steps on their fat loss journey.”
The fitness coach (pictured) also shared other tips to help you reach your weight loss goals. This includes being 10-25% calorie deficit in your diet and eating less than you burn.
The fitness coach said there are five other things that can help you reach your weight loss goals faster.The first is what you eat.
“Being 10 to 25 percent calorie deficient in your diet means eating fewer calories than you burn,” said Vicki.
You should also eat 100-120 grams of protein each day. Good sources of protein include lean meats, eggs, fish, yogurt, and dairy products.
Finally, Vikki recommends doing resistance training with your own body weight or dumbbells three to five times a week.
“Prioritize consistency,” added Vikki.
Complete a consistent workout routine each week to build muscle, improve posture and stability, and reduce your chances of injury.
Vikki (pictured) previously revealed what she eats a day to hit her protein goals, including high-protein yogurt, scrambled eggs, and avocado on toast.
Vikki has a large following on social media for fitness tips and tricks.
Previously, she revealed what she eats a day to meet her protein goals, including high-protein yogurt, scrambled eggs and avocado toast, smoked salmon, rice and edamame, and a chicken burger with corn. .
“Before a workout, I always eat carbs to fuel the workout.
“After a workout, consuming carbs ensures that the glycogen stores that have been depleted within the muscles are replenished.”
PTs also always consume protein before their workouts to ensure their muscles are primed and “ready for action.”
“Protein is good after a workout because it helps the muscles you train grow and repair,” said Vicky.
“To aid further growth, try to consume protein within 30 to 60 minutes of your workout.”
