A 39-year-old mum has shared how she transformed her body in just six weeks without difficult gym exercises or a restrictive diet.
In fact, walking was one of the key secrets to her success.
Jenna Sanders, a mother of three and flight attendant from Canada, completely transformed her approach to health and fitness thanks to the help of Australian trainer Rachael Attard. Lean Legs Program.
Rachael is a sports nutritionist and scientist specializing in women’s bodies and sculpting lean, strong legs.
The Queensland-based trainer also advocates the 80:20 sustainable diet rule, which sees you eat healthy 80 per cent of the time and eat whatever you feel like the rest.
Jenna’s journey into fitness began at a young age. He always liked sports and kept fit at school, so when he left he joined the gym to stay as “fit as possible.”
“I got into all kinds of training: kettlebells, Zumba classes, all the things that were fun to do but never got the results I wanted,” Jenna said.
‘Then I found a personal trainer who made me lift weights and do a very intense and hard workout. I would spend a couple of hours a day in the gym.
A 39-year-old mum has told how she transformed her body in just six weeks without difficult gym workouts or a restrictive diet.

Jenna Sanders, mother of three and flight attendant from Canada, completely transformed her approach to health and fitness through Australian trainer Rachael Attard’s Lean Legs program.
“I was getting stronger, sure, but I didn’t feel like I was seeing the shape I was looking for. Instead of feeling thin and light, I felt heavy and didn’t love the look of my legs and arms.’
Jenna said she gained a lot of muscle and noticed that friends and strangers commented a lot about her calves.
‘In my opinion, I didn’t want to have these big calf muscles. “I wanted to look slimmer,” he said.
‘Then I found Rachael online. I took the body type quiz and was shocked that everything I did before I found you was so wrong for me.
“I used to do bike sprints and uphill sprints and my legs would get thicker and I would think, ‘Oh my God, I’m supposed to get smaller and I’m getting bigger’ and I would spend a lot of time doing all the wrong things to my body.’
On the program, Jenna focused on light resistance work and walking instead of weight training and HIIT exercise.
‘Walking is the best type of exercise for thin legs. It will help remove excess fat from your legs and make them slimmer,” trainer Rachael told FEMAIL.
‘When you do cardio at a low to moderate intensity, the body burns stored glycogen (carbohydrates) first and then fats. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Jenna’s journey into fitness began at a young age. He always liked sports and kept fit at school, so when he left he joined the gym to stay as “fit as possible.”

‘Walking is the best type of exercise for thin legs. It will help remove excess fat from your legs and make them slimmer,” trainer Rachael told FEMAIL.
‘The longer you do it, the more fat your body will burn. So, by taking longer brisk walks, your body will burn more fat and help you have slim legs.’
Jenna said that by doing light resistance and walking a lot, her legs “changed shape.”
‘I had much slimmer thighs and my calves became much smaller, something I had been trying to achieve for a long time. “After six weeks I thought, wow, this is amazing,” he said.
‘With the right foods, it took me those six weeks to get results. I remember looking down and my abs were literally bursting and I was like wow!
Now, every summer, Jenna pushes herself and does a few rounds of the program to get in shape, even with three young children in tow.
“I know exactly how good I’m going to feel and the compliments I’m going to get, especially on my legs, lots of compliments,” she said.
‘I remember going on my first holiday and wearing a bikini and I never felt so comfortable in a bikini. And I had a one and two year old at the time.
‘I’m about to turn 40 and I look back on my fitness journey and think: I’ve come a long way! I’m so grateful I found this when I did.

‘I used to worry a lot about “falling down” and getting so tired from the training I was doing. But I found that knowing I could get up in the morning even if I was going for a walk, I could work for an hour and achieve better results.’
Jenna’s peers often ask her “secret” and assume that she “spends hours at the gym” and “doesn’t eat much.”
“Once you can eat and exercise correctly, you have all the knowledge to be able to do and feel exactly how I feel,” she said.
‘I eat food in moderation and I think that’s key. I make healthy choices because I know that when I train, I will get the best results from my training.
“Plus, I started sleeping better and generally felt confident and good about myself.”
Meals include things like salmon and avocado on toast, a fruit smoothie, stir-fried chicken, and some coconut chocolate squares.
Rachael typically eats about 1600 calories a day and most of her programs are pretty much the same.
Jenna wants other moms to know that while their bodies may change drastically after having children, she has never felt happier or more confident.
“I can honestly say that I feel much more comfortable with myself after having a third baby, because I know that once I put my mind to it I can achieve the results very easily,” she said.

‘I love pushing the stroller. It’s nice to be outside, breathe fresh air and walk. For a new mom, it’s a great way to get back out and walking. I think as a mother, if you feel good, I feel like that reflects on you as a person and also as a mother.
‘My advice is to be constant and take advantage of the time, whatever it is, even if it is half an hour, it is better than doing nothing.’
Jenna’s transformation was much more than physical changes.
“It’s not about looking a certain way,” Jenna said.
“It’s about feeling good, being confident and showing up to be the best I can be for my kids and my family.”
