It takes work and knowledge to look this good, so when Instagram fitness superstar Krissy Cela shares six of her fat loss secrets and exactly how she sculpts that perfect booty, we're listening
If you haven’t yet heard of fitness sensation Krissy Cela, then you need to get to know her.
Not only is her Instagram full of real life transformations and badass workouts, but she is also one of the most down to earth women in the fitness industry.
With a no-filter and no-nonsense approach to everything from fitness to her skin troubles and everyday lifestyle issues, Krissy is an inspiration to all who follow her.
Plus her body is so insane that she eptomises #bodygoals. Don't believe me? Have a stalk of her Instagram @krissycela ASAP - 1.8 million followers - she must be doing something right.
She looks THAT amazing that if she told me her secret was cleaning her teeth with vodka every morning whilst doing some lunges, or something equally as crazy, I would probably do it - religiously.
Krissy, 25, launched her own fitness app Tone & Sculpt just over a year ago (January 2019), that offers subscribers hundreds of personalized workouts, custom meal plans and a community forum where members can connect, share tips and ask for health and fitness advice any time they need to.
Available from just 23 pence a day, the fitness app also features a water tracker, progress tracker and a weekly shopping list.
Along with Instagram, the Tone & Sculpt app gives Krissy fans a helpful insight into exactly how Krissy trains and eats herself.
But we wanted to know the particulars. How much cardio does she do? How does she stay motivated? And how, oh HOW does she sculpt that amazing bum?
Healthista simply had to find out, so we interviewed her and these are six fat loss secrets Krissy Cela told us exclusively.
Fat loss secret # 1 You don't have to spend hours in the gym, 28 intense minutes is enough
Ever been to the gym and completed a sweaty 30-minute session, but then as you go to leave you're filled with guilt that you haven't been there for a whole hour? Krissy has too.
"When studying law at university, I simply didn't have time to spend an hour in the gym everyday," revealed Krissy.
‘I was waitressing to try and make money while studying at the same time and I didn’t have time to train. I would always beat myself up for not being at the gym for longer than an hour.
‘Lots of people say that you need to workout for at least an hour a day to make the workout worthwhile, but newsflash! You honestly don’t.
‘Of course if you do have time to train for an hour, then that’s great, enjoy that time for yourself. But, for those who don't have the luxury of time, a 30-minute intense workout 3-4 times a week is honestly all it takes to see results.
This short yet effective exercise is what inspired the new addition to the Tone & Sculpt app that is launching this March (2020), called '28 minute Workouts'.
‘The new app addition is a four-day-a-week program where you only exercise for 28 minutes - though, to be fair we are talking about 28 intense minutes. But it’s still only 28 minutes, for four days a week. That’s just under two hours weekly. None of this one hour every day or every other day nonsense, and I promise, you WILL see results.
The new 28-minute workouts by themselves are intense, but if you do want to make it even harder, add free-weights and dumbbells - and good luck! '
Fat loss secret # 2 Do HIIT training for the weight-loss win
I need to lose weight but I don’t know how much cardio I should be doing compared to lifting weights? 'Does this sound like a familiar quandary?
In fact, when asking friends and family members, the cardio or weight training ratio is a recurrent question. So we asked Krissy what she thinks, 'For starters, everyone is different and has different goals,' explains Krissy.
‘Let’s take someone who wants to bulk up and gain muscle for example. I would recommend not doing that much intense cardio and instead opt for steady state cardio such as going on some gentle walks and only doing a couple of lighter cardio sessions per week.
‘Take me as another example, I can’t think of anything worse than cardio - oh no, it’s just not for me. Which is perfect because I don’t need to lose weight, I need to maintain it.
‘So I avoid running and spin class like the plague and instead take my dog ​​for a walk every morning for about half an hour, which I love because that’s my quality time with her.
‘But if your goal is to lose weight, I strongly recommend HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), exercise around three to four times per week.
‘An example of a HIIT session would be a super fast sprint for 20 to 30 seconds on a treadmill, cross-trainer or stationary bike, then resting for 30 seconds and repeat this for ten minutes.
‘It’s an absolute killer, but you are seriously going to feel it and the results will be insane if you incorporate that into your other workouts three to four times a week.
"That’s only around half an hour a week, but the intensity is a whole different level and will seriously burn fat".
Fat loss secret # 3 Don't cut out any food groups
Low carb, low fat, no sugar - so many people look to cut food groups in an attempt to get into shape, lose weight and have a healthier lifestyle.
But should we be depriving ourselves of our food? According to Krissy, the answer is a stern, NO.
‘Stop and I repeat STOP cutting out your food groups. Just stop it. If I hear one more person tell me they're not eating something I am going to - I just can’t even, ’asserts Krissy.
