I am not sure if many of you are aware of an amazing personal trainer called Kayla Itsines, so if you don't make sure you check her blog and Instagram account immediately! She is based in Australia and started her own business called The Bikini Body Training Company a few years ago. Kayla had such an amazing response in the first 6 months, her online presence and following became so great, 3.4 million in fact, that she now does huge (think stadium size) boot camps around the world! One of the reasons she has had such a great success is because of her interaction with her BBG (Bikini Body Guide) followers. In her guide she says that progress photos are the primary measurement to track the changes that occur during the 12 weeks of the guide. She posts her followers progress photos on her Intsagram and blog, which shows that this guide can really work for anyone and this is why I have finally decided to do it. I am not doing it because I want to be thinner, but because I want to be fit and strong. I am fine with the size that I am, I would just like to feel more confident, fit and strong.
To prepare me for this new journey, I have to bought myself a new fitness mat by the one and only Davina McCall. Then to help me with the new lifestyle that goes along with the BBG, I bought Ella Woodward's cookery book 'Deliciously Ella' as there are many amazing healthy recipes to help me with having more energy and goodness in my body.
I have posted my first photo (apologies) that Kayla has told me to do, then in 4 weeks time I will take the same photo and will be comparing them to see the results so far. Although, I may post the first 2 weeks as I am one of those girls who likes to see if there is a difference straight away! Even though I know its a marathon, not a sprint, to achieve results. Wish me luck!
