Most of the time, no one else uses the apartment gym, as I humiliate myself doing these exercises, but one day I notice another girl bopping around doing intervals. My idol is SquatMango, who breaks down her BBG journey on her blog in a way that makes you feel this is possible. I start watching #BBG YouTube videos, where super ripped girls exercise in real time. I take my time during the intervals and also took a lot more breaks than I would’ve in an exercise class, probably more than I should have.
I’ve only worked out this hard in the occasional boutique fitness class.Īs the week goes on, I struggle with normal gym-style sit-ups and pushups. For me, this is a heart-beating-out-of-your-chest, totally-out-of-breath workout. I finish my first resistance training at 7am on Monday, January 4th, and I feel close to throwing up.

If you’re trying the PDF version of BBG like I did, an interval training app like Pacer for your phone really helps with this. Is it cheating to do my #bbg progress photos while wearing workout photo posted by goshgeegolly on at 8:14pm PST You’ll need just a few pieces of equipment, like weights and a bench, and the gym in my apartment building had most of it. If you get through all of that before time is up, start over and keep going until you hear the buzzer. (I’ll) do each of the circuits twice.Ī single seven minute circuit equals four exercises (for example: 15 jump squats, 15 squats, 24 walking lunges, 24 knee ups). Those interval training sessions involve two circuits, each consisting of seven minutes of exercise with a rest of 30 to 90 seconds in between circuits. Kayla’s workout plan starts out with two to three sessions of her resistance training intervals a week, complemented by stretching and two or three sessions of LISS (which stands for "low intensity static state," as in 35 to 45 minutes of fast walking). Note: I did the old-school Bikini Body Guide PDF, not the app, and I didn’t do her meal plan. I practiced burpees for the rest of December while waiting for the first week of January, when BBG would begin. I felt a sting for having disappointed her.Īfterwards, I asked Kayla for burpee advice because I couldn’t do them at all, and she broke it down for me, which was so nice of her. We stretched afterwards and Kayla came over and pushed my legs down while I was stretching, but I knew they wouldn’t go down any further. The workout was 30 minutes at most (consisting of burpees, planks, ab bicycles, etc.) but it felt like an eternity. She looks like an elegant giraffe, all legs and arms and abs, and what was almost more impressive to me was how effortlessly she demonstrated the push-ups and jump squats. Because I’m sure you’re wondering, she is very teeny tiny but she doesn’t look scary thin. So that’s how I got here to BBG, getting my butt kicked by Kayla Itsines in person. What was almost more impressive to me was how effortlessly she demonstrated the push-ups and jump squats.
