  **[Womens Health and Fitness](https://www.ricardoriskalla.com/in-the-media#filter=.Womens-Health-and-Fitness)** published *“[PTs won’t tell you](https://www.ricardoriskalla.com/volumes/documents/womanshealth/5-things-PTs-wont-tell-you.pdf)”*, an article revealing lesser-known fitness insights from exercise and personal training experts. The article highlights practical guidance on motivation, exercise intensity, rest, and nutrition for achieving sustainable fitness results.

Sydney master trainer **Ricardo Riskalla** is featured, emphasising the importance of diet before engaging a PT and tailoring workouts to individual needs. He advises that rest and recovery are just as critical as exercise, promotes the concept of “active rest” to avoid plateaus, and stresses the value of varying exercise routines to challenge the body effectively. Riskalla also reminds readers to focus on health and body acceptance, rather than comparing themselves to fitness models or competitors.

Resting is just as important as exercising itself.
