Kayla Itsines - Bikini Body Guide

[Raveena]

Hey! 

I am new to the fitbit community and have just begun Kayla Itsine's Bikini Body Guide workout for resistance training on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays. I will also be implementing my own cardio the rest of the week hoping to build up to a half marathon by fall 2014. Just checking in to see if anybody else is following the same plan so we can help keep each other on track and motivated :). 

Cheers, 

Raveena.

I dont know anything about the plan but I am loving the way it sounds! I bought 3 swimsuits from Victoria secret today that I am determined to look amazing in lol. I am gonna google the program you mentioned!

I totally feel you with the victorias secret bathing suits. 

Its got 4 seven minute circuits for monday wednesday and friday (lots of HIIT) and recommends low intensity walks/power walks 3 other days of the week. She's got a free workout on her site, let me know what you think.

Hey Raveena!

I am on week 7 of the BBG and loving it!

Just bought a fitbit today so I can start properly logging the calories.

I've lost 5 pounds so far, but I haven't followed the HELP guide or done much LISS, but I'm starting to properly commit soon!

How are you finding it?

Hi Caroline,

how many times a week does it say to exercise on that plan and did you also go for the meal plan? If so how many calories are they suggesting per day? I'd love to know a bit more before buying it.

Thank you,

Ankinha

Hi Ankinha,
I have only the exercise guide at the minute, because I'm a fussy eater I didn't bother with the meal plan, but have heard good things. It's not based on calories but on portions of each food group you have each day (2 fibre, 2 fruit etc...) and has healthy recipe ideas.
The guide has 3 exercises per week called resistance training, and she suggests you do resistance training on alternate days and on the days you don't do resistance you do 35mins of LISS (Low Intensity Steady State) which is light exercise like walking or jogging and you take one rest day and this will make up your week.

I've been really enjoying the resistance training, they are quite difficult but it's great to feel the burn after! And you don't need any gym equipment to do them, just weights, I do mine at home.
If you have any other questions just ask 🙂

I have been doing the BBG for a few weeks now...and purchased a Fitbit to help to keep me motivated. I love the programme and I think I am starting to see some results. But so far I haven't really done much with regards to 'clean eating' and I have to do this to see any significant change

But I'm determined to stay focussed and keep on doing the programme

I am on week four of the BBG and am also implementing marathon training into the program. I have already seen some improvement when it comes to defenition in my arms and legs, how ever I have not been eating as clean as the program recomends. I love that I can do the workouts at home and with little equipment, and also like that you get a really good workout in a short period of time. 

Feel free to add me as a friend on fitbit, as I love to have new friends to help motivate me on my goals!

Hello 🙂

I'm on week 2 of the BBG, loving it so far!

The instagram community is really very motivating (and is how I first heard about it).

Feel free to add me on fitbit for some extra motivation.
