WHY KAYLA ITSINES WORKOUTS MAY BULK YOU UP.


Have you heard of Kayla Itsines? She is an amazing trainer and has her own program called BBG or simply Bikini Body Guide Program which runs for 30 days. I actually did know of Kayla Itsines before learning the Lean Legs program.


Kayla Itsines workouts are more of HIIT which I talked about in my last blog. You can check that out here. Her workouts include fast and hard workouts like mountain climbers, planks, burpees, etc. To be honest with you, these workouts can be very hard to do for a beginner.

Now, we talked about why we should try cutting HIIT especially for lean legs but that's what Kayla does and she doesn't bulk up she still maintains that beautifully toned figure. Here's the reason, Kayla is ectomorph and ectomorphs don't bulk up easily even after doing tons of HIIT.

The thing, you want to do is to avoid bulking up. There is no reason why you should work out so hard only to end up bulking up. Don't get me wrong, if you want to have extra muscles and look big it's totally okay to do HIIT. But, remember here we are looking for lean legs.

My personal story with Kayla Itsines is that I did do her workouts and didn't see results as fast as I wanted to. It actually made the situation even worse. I ended bulking up my legs too much and it took so long to trim them down.

So my final thoughts, I hold nothing against Kayla, as a matter of fact, I think she is amazing. But, you have to be very careful with any workouts you pick they should be designed for your needs.
