Vikki added about her instagram page: ‘The easiest way to lose fat is through NEAT – non-exercise activity thermogenesis.
‘This means the energy spent on everything we do other than sleep, eat or exercise.
‘Normal everyday movement requires energy, so without endless intense workouts we can move and burn calories without breaking the bank.
“It’s crazy that people don’t prioritize their steps on their fat loss journey.”
The fitness trainer (pictured) also shared her other tips for reaching your weight loss goal, including having a 10 to 25 percent calorie deficit with your food, or eating less than you burn.
The fitness trainer said there are five other things that will help you reach your weight loss goals fast, and the first one depends on what you’re eating.
“Have a 10 to 25 percent calorie deficit with your meal, which means eating fewer calories than you’re burning,” Vikki said.
You should also eat between 100 and 120 grams of protein every day. Good sources of protein include lean meat, eggs, fish, yogurt, and dairy products.
Finally, Vikki said it’s a good idea to do some resistance training, which involves using your own body weight or dumbbells, three to five times a week.
‘Prioritize consistency,’ Vikki added.
Complete a consistent training routine each week to build muscle, improve posture and stability, and reduce the chance of injury.
Vikki (pictured) previously revealed what she eats in a day to reach her protein goals, including high-protein yogurt, scrambled eggs, and avocado toast.
Vikki has amassed a large following on social media for fitness tips and tricks.
Previously, she revealed what she eats in a day to meet her protein goals, including high-protein yogurt, scrambled eggs and avocado on toast, smoked salmon, edamame rice and beans, and a chicken burger with corn on the cob.
“Before a workout, I always eat carbs to fuel that workout, giving me the initial energy to perform good reps and weights,” Vikki posted.
‘After your workout, the carbohydrates will ensure that you replenish those depleted glycogen stores within the muscles.’
The PT also always has protein before a workout to make sure your muscles are primed and ‘ready for action’.
“After a workout, protein is good because it will help the growth and repair of the trained muscles,” Vikki said.
‘Try to consume protein within 30 to 60 minutes of your workout for additional support for growth.’
