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.

Resistance Workouts that will not make your legs bigger

  Hello lovelies, In today's blog post we will learn about the right kind of resistance training or simply how low-impact workouts won't bulk you up. All of us have two types of muscle fibers:  Slow-twitch (type I)  Fast-twitch (type II) (stay with me) Slow-twitch muscles help enable long-endurance activities such as running, swimming, and power walking, while fast-twitch muscles fatigue faster but are used in powerful bursts of movements like sprinting, and heavy lifting. Moves that trigger those fast twitch fibers will help create a muscular (sometime bulky) physique, while moves that trigger the slow twitch fibers help you get that leaner, toned look. Lets compare these two pictures First Then look at this one, These two lovelies are both beautiful and strong. How they look is a result of the type of training done.  In my opinion in picture 1, she appears to be engaging her fast twitch muscles a lot more than in picture two. It appears there is a lot of lift...
