So…. I’m starting a new fitness programme. I’ve been trying the freestyle gym thing and it’s just not working for me. I like to work to a goal, and for that reason, I’m starting the Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide. If you haven’t heard of Kayla, she’s a personal trainer for Australia who’s managed to build up this insane cult following for her workout programme. She’s put together some easy to follow workouts in an e-book as well as nutrition guides which teach you how to eat a balanced diet.
The workouts are tough!! You do 4 circuits for 7 minutes each for a total of 28 minutes and there are 3 workouts per week. I know 28 minutes doesn’t seem like a long time but it really tires you out. Aside from that, you do three workouts by yourself, which are low intensity, to begin with, moving on to HIIT in the last weeks. The progress pictures on Kayla’s Instagram are pretty impressive too – you can really see how much strength these ladies have built up!
I’ve done workout one from week one so far and boy can I feel it in my legs. I think it will be good to track my progress on here, similarly to how I wrote about the couch to 5K programmeI did some time ago. Let me know if you’ve heard of it or if you want to start, we can all be in this together.
