Happy New Year lovelies! I hope you all had your fill of holiday foods and indulgences and are ready to transition back into a healthier style of eating and living with The Kayla Movement. I know I am!
Fit and Healthy for 2015
For those of you who read Honestly Fitness regularly, you know that I am an avid fan of Kayla Itsines workouts (for those of you who have no idea who she is, click here). She announced on her Instagram that on Monday 5th January, 2015, she and anyone else who wants to join will be restarting her Bikini Body Training Guide (BBTG or BBG) and creating the biggest worldwide team ever. So exciting, right?!
I think this is a fantastic way to start the new year and to pave the path for a healthy lifestyle (or add a challenge if you already have a healthy lifestyle). Not only do you get 12 weeks worth of workouts (and an additional 12 weeks if you choose to continue on with her bikini body training guide 2.0, and a healthy eating guide, you will also get access to an amazing support group! The girls on Instagram who do Kayla Itsines’ workouts and follow her eating guide are some of the nicest girls you will ever meet. I posted a progress photo on Instagram and was so sure I would get mean comments but quite the contrary. Everyone has been so lovely and encouraging, which only makes me want to participate more and encourage other girls who have been brave enough to post their progress photos. You can find me on Instagram by clicking here.
How to join The Kayla Movement
If you want to join in The Kayla Movement, all you have to do is start her BBG 1.0 on January 5th. Whenever you upload a photo or discuss your progress on social media, simply hashtag it with #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #thekaylamovement and don’t forget to tag @kaylaitsines (and me too hehe, but not mandatory @honestlyfitness). Also, don’t forget to join the ‘KI BBG’ group on Facebook if you would like a support group on Facebook.

If you haven’t got Kayla Itsines’ workout guides and healthy eating guides yet, click on the photo below to purchase it (disclaimer: this is an affiliate link and I will get some compensation which helps me run Honestly Fitness!)

Who’s with me? Comment below with your goal for 2015 and your Instagram name so we can follow each other on this 24 week journey together. If any of you live in San Francisco or Salt Lake City, then let me know. Would love for us to be able to workout together 🙂

Good luck to all of you lovely ladies! xxx
I’m just starting the BBG and in the guide it says that LISS and resistance training can be done on the same day but should be split up into different sessions (morning/night). How big of a deal is this to split them up/do you know why they have to be split up? I’d love to be able just get it done in the morning without having to go back at night but obviously I want to see the best possible results! Thanks!
Hi Hanna,
I personally try and follow everything Kayla says to the letter as this is what she says to do for best results. I personally think splitting them up is important; this is because doing too much in 1 session will produce stress on your body which in turn can make your body hold onto fat. If you can split it up then I highly recommend doing so for the best results 🙂

Just started BBG! So excited for this. I’m tracking down my progress here. http://www.bareeating.com/?p=1504 Wish I lived closeby so I could meet other BBG girls! Instagram name is bareeating. How long have you followed the program for? And how are you feeling now versus how you did back then?
Just followed you on instagram! I’m truffleandsage and go back to SF time to time. Yes, let’s work out together!
Hey i would like to know if it is suitable for vegans ..
Is this suitable for vegans ? How does it work ?!
What is suitable for vegans? Her HELP guide? She has a vegetarian HELP guide that can be easily modified to suit your vegan needs 🙂

You’ll find TONS of support with the BBG community on Instagram 🙂
Good luck x
I’m really looking forward to restarting the guides (on the 11th!)
Still debating the purchase of her app – having used the printed guides before not sure if it’s worth it and the money commitment annoys me… What are your thoughts?
I’m a food blogger anyway so having BB3 may be the only benefit?
