Kayla Itsines is arguably probably the most influential trainer in the world right now. And now the online superstar from Down Below is increasing her Bikini Body Guide empire—which has inspired legions of loyal BBG girls (4.three million Instagram followers and counting) to get sturdy and match—together with her first-ever app, Sweat With Kayla.

Her fans swarm her Instagram web page for inspiration, fast exercises, and seriously spectacular earlier than-and-after pics from the BBG community—and the Sweat With Kayla app goals to be their new dwelling base, the place you possibly can entry exercises, instruments, meal plans, and advice.

Need a closer have a look at the app? We took Sweat With Kayla for a test spin to see what it’s all about.

"The imaginative and prescient for my Sweat With Kayla app is for it to be the ‘go-to’ training platform for girls to grow to be healthier, happier, and stronger—and also to be the house of health and fitness education," Itsines tells us.

To that end, the app lays out every part for you day-by-day—meals and training routines. You choose your exercise from resistance (the hardest), to LISS—that’s kayla itsines bbg program-converse for low-intensity regular state cardio, in addition to relaxation, and active restoration like foam rolling and stretching. "I’m not going to lie, it’s fairly enjoyable to see a confetti shower when you get by way of 28 minutes of brutal intervals," says fitness buff and Birchbox editorial director, Mollie Chen, who’s no stranger to HIIT.

The exercises are as substantial as her Bikini Body Information, a downloadable PDF that’s been Itsines’ main training product till now. Each 28-minute resistance workout consists of seven-minute circuits repeated twice. The strikes aren’t difficult—straight-forward for beginners however difficult enough to get even advanced BBGers’ hearts pumping and muscle tissue working. Assume burpees, ab bicycles, mountain climbers, and squats with a medicine ball. Your goal? Complete the circuit as many times as attainable in seven minutes before moving on to the following circuit. And seven minutes is totally handleable (we promise!) even in case you do make your front room windows fog up.

"I downloaded it'scause I really like having an all-in-one workout possibility I can do whereas I’m traveling, or on days when I’m not doing a class," adds Chen. "I discover the workouts thoughtfully designed, and both powerful and efficient—great in case you’re low on time."

With workout gear lists, detailed train instructions, to not mention a timer to maintain you on process, Itsines great achievement here (that her PDF couldn’t quite tackle) it that it takes all of the guesswork out of your gym time. It’s like having a personal coach to guide you and hold you accountable. It’ll even track how a lot water you drink each day and provide you with weekly grocery buying lists.

And for those who like to track your progress visually (guns out, abs out), the app does that too. Snap a photo and compare it side-by-side along with your "earlier than" picture, which in the event you use Instagram you realize you can’t open it without seeing one from the the BBG community. So while these photos are on your eyes solely, it goes without saying that you just’re all set to share them with kaylasarmy.

"I can see why there’s such a strong following and community," says Chen. "The app makes it simple to trace your exercises and share them with your mates or the Interwebs."

And unlike the unique Bikini Body Guide, the app has no end date. "Somewhat than only being a 12- or 24-week exercise guide, it affords a lifetime of training," Itsines says.
