Who is Kayla Itsines?

Chances are you've seen or heard about Kalya Itsines through social media or in the news. This fitness trainer became famous through her Bikini Body Guide program also known as "BBG". From simple beginnings to being named one of Time Magazine's most influential persons of the year! While she does have a major social following, many people don't know the story behind the fame.Her rise to fame and social following began simply by posting before and after photos of her client's fitness progress. She started

her career by working at a women's only personal training center in Australia. As she started training women she realized that the programs often fell short and the majority of female clients had the same problem areas they wanted to target.

Start of the Bikini Body Guides

In an effort to help her clients she began doing her own research and develop a custom workout and meal plan to help girls achieve their fitness goals. The result that clients started achieving can be best described as "bikini body confidence". Soon after, she left the training facility and embarked on a journey to start her own company with the mission of helping women their ideal body's in an effective and efficient fashion.

With Kayla's guidance women were achieving seeking incredible results in as little as 12 weeks and word quickly spread about Kayla and her incredible program. This is when Kayla decided that she wanted to help more and more women achieve their fitness goals so she began posting on social media sites like Instagram and Facebook. This program that has helped to many girls all over the world is commonly known as Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide or BBG in the bikini body community.

What Is Kayla Itsines's Bikini Body Guide?

The bikini body guide is a set of e-books instructing the reader to follow a set of workouts and meal plan in order to achieve the

"bikini body". All guides are digital and available instantly upon purchase. The prices start at $52.43 AUD and build up as you add the nutritional plan etc.The simple Bikini Body Guide 1.0 Ebook is 189 pages and lays out the workout plan that covers a 12 week period. Each set of workouts is 30 minutes in length and the program instructs you to workout three days a week. They also recommend you do HIIT/Cardio on days you aren't following the exercises.It's set up so that beginners can easily start the Bikini Body Guide and as they go through the guide, workouts will intensify and build upon each other. The Kayla's Bikini Body Guide is very visual and includes a glossary of all the workouts outlined so that you can make sure you have the correct form.

In addition to the Bikini Body Guide, Kalya has a Bikini Body H.E.L.P Guide which covers eating habits and includes a 14-day sample meal plan. You can buy the H.E.L.P Guide and Bikini Body Guide in a bundle to save some money.Recently she did include the option to buy a vegetarian version of the H.E.L.P nutritional e-book for those with dietary restrictions. If you would like specific recipe ideas, Kayla offers another option of buying a Bikini Body Recipe Guide e-book for an additional cost. The Bikini Body "Bundle" will run you about $120 AUD.After the initial 12-week workout guide, you have an option of continuing your Bikini Body journey and purchase the Bikini Body

Guide 2.0 which will guide you through weeks 13-24. This is an additional cost of $52.43 AUD. Included are a new set of workouts, guide to foam rolling and intro into resistance workouts.Recently, Kayla entered the mobile app marketplace when she released "Sweat with Kayla", a fitness app.

The Sweat with Kayla Fitness App

With the positive feedback from thousands of girls that saw results from her Bikini Body Guide program, Kayla released a health

and fitness mobile application that would bring her guide to the palm of your hand. However, this is a subscription based application and three months of the Sweat with Kayla app will cost you about $54. If you choose to be billed on a monthly basis it will be $19.99 per month. While this might be cheaper than some gym memberships, some fans complain about the steep cost.Kalya has a Bikini Body Guide 1.0 for the first twelve weeks of the program and Bikini Body 2.0 workout Guide for the next twelve weeks. The application tracks your progress through the Bikini Body Guide 1.0, 2.0 and features an expanded Bikini Body Guide 3.0 with all new workouts to take you past the original 24 weeks. The H.E.L.P nutrition guide is also included in the app (both the regular and vegetarian versions). Additional features include daily meal plans and shopping list feature.

The content of the app is very similar to that of her e-books and you will not find follow along videos of items of that nature. If you are completely new to the BBG program the app is a great tool to help you create a healthier lifestyle and get in shape. If you already did the Bikini Body Guide 1.0 and 2.0, getting the app will not really be worth it in terms of the price you pay for the content you get.
