Get moving, get doing!

Leg Day feels/Monday feels 😹 I have not slept well in four nights so I'm annoyed about that 😒 But I still have the #dtlabbgmeetup motivation so I crushed #legday today for my start of #bbgweek20 💪🏻 I am not a fan of 30 broad jumps tho 💀 TOO MANY, KAYLA. Anyway hope everyone starts their week off well and remember #nevermissamonday (unless it's your rest day or you're sick or you're injured or life interferes or what-have-you: just do you, girl) 💕#bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgfam #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgcommunity #bbglegs #bbground2 #kaylasarmy #kaylastrong #kaylaitsines #thekaylamovement #thek2movement #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla #beactive #workout #exercise #fitness #gym #sweatitout #getupandjustdoit #healthyliving

Just went on my longest run yet 🎉 Crushed my personal best mile time, kilometre time and my 5K time is officially under 30 minutes now 🏅 Yeah, I know it's not much but for me it is everything. I'm one step closer to my 2016 goal to run a half marathon 😬 Also my camera lens was real weird apparently and I did not notice until I came back inside 🙈 And, yeah, my white socks are just super sexy 😹 Note to self: get you shit together, Sam. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday 💕 #bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgfam #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgcommunity #bbground2 #bbgweek19 #bbgrun #bbgrunner #running #couchto5k #kaylasarmy #kaylastrong #kaylaitsines #thekaylamovement #fitness #exercise #cardio #workout #beactive #getupandjustdoit #healthyliving

Best. Meetup. EVER 😍 Huge shoutout to ALL the ladies (144 of you!!!) who showed up at 8am on a Saturday to hang and sweat with us. Wouldn't have been possible without these awesome ladies to plan with - seriously the best girls around and I'm so happy to know them. And of course a thank you to the incredible @bianca_bonus for leading us in yoga 😘 We have loads of pictures and videos to come 🎉 In the meantime, thank you @kayla_itsines for this incomparable community you've built; thank you to our wonderful sponsors, and thank you to @crepes_sans_frontieres for letting us take over your restaurant afterward! 💕 #bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgfam #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgcommunity #dtlabbgmeetup #sweatwithla #sweatwithkayla #thekaylamovement #kaylastrong #kaylasarmy #kaylaitsines #sweatitout #workout #fitness #exercise #gooutside #beactive #getupandjustdoit #healthyliving

I attempted to do #bbgweek19 abs at home this morning and about 2 minutes into the third circuit gave up (first time I've ever not completed after starting) because I was NOT getting anything out of it. I knew I wasn't putting in the right effort so I decided to put the workout on hold until this afternoon. I also haven't taken (or planned for 🙊) a rest day this week so I might just push this workout to Sunday and recharge before the #dtlabbgmeetup TOMORROW. I was also hindered by my 🐰 who was very excited to have me on the floor in the morning (his most active time of day). This is why I don't often workout at home. #bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgfam #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgcommunity #realtalk #kaylasarmy #kaylaitsines #thekaylamovement #fitness #exercise #honesty #accountability #healthyliving

Let's take a moment to talk about bloating 😫. Yesterday I was SOOOO bloated and I woke up this morning STILL somewhat bloated (full disclosure: yesterday I ate so much pasta when I got home so I didn't help myself 😅). TOM is obviously a factor but I am naturally very prone to bloating. I have sensitivity to dairy and huge sensitivity to some artificial chemicals found in a lot of things I try not to eat often, but also I just bloat. Sometimes, like last night, I get really upset and convinced that I haven't made any progress at all and I'm a failure at life (I am very dramatic in my mind) but I'm slowly learning to just get over it. Bloat happens. To everyone. Some people bloat more often than others. It's OK. Your progress is not undermined. You are not undermined. You're just bloated! On an unrelated note, thank you to everyone who replied to my last post about yoga! I'm going to go through all of the awesome suggestions today 💕. Also @soulcycle kicked my butt this morning. Like still wobbling 😹 #bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgfam #bbgweek19 #bbground2 #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgcommunity #bbgliss #bbgmeetssoulcycle #indoorcycling #kaylasarmy #kaylaitsines #kaylastrong #thekaylamovement #sweatitout #fitness #exercise #workout #beactive #mentalhealth #bloating #getupandjustdoit #healthyliving

✨QUESTION TIME✨ I've been thinking about trying to get into yoga for a while - especially since I've started enjoying stretching/regard more and more. But I'm basically brainless when it comes to the practice of yoga - which is why I'm reaching out to you lovely people 😘 Any advice on how to start? How to be patient? What free YouTube videos to check out (ideally I would like to start with some free things if possible)? Any and all advice would be SOOOOO appreciated! #bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgfam #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgcommunity #bbgyoga #tryyoga #helpme #fitness #exercise #mentalhealth #workout #healthyliving

Post arm day feels like "ok can't flex right now ow" 💪🏻 I took some vides of my decline push ups today (now that I can finally do them 😹) so I can compare form improvement as I go forward. They are NOT pretty at the moment 🙈 kinda like my hair. Anyway it's Wednesday so we are halfway done 🎉 #bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgcommunity #bbgweek19 #bbground2 #bbgarms #armday #kaylastrong #kaylasarmy #kaylaitsines #sweatwithkayla #deathbykayla #thek2movement #thekaylamovement #workout #fitness #gym #beactive #exercise #getupandjustdoit #healthyliving

Sneaking in on this #transformationtuesday with a different type of pic. On the left we have a picture from 8 years ago at the start of my heaviest period (senior year high school thru freshman year college). I was going through a lot. Despite being very happy in this pic (I was doing a home stay in Japan) I was going through depression, struggling massively with body image and had no work in knowledge of nutrition. I hated my body and started doing bad things like over exercising, starving and then binging and it was bad. Cut to currently (well two weeks ago on the right) where I am in a MUCH better mental state - and therefore physical one! I've learned a lot about healthy eating since moving away from home, and have found fantastic ways to stay active. I have a social life I'm much more OK with. I am more confident than i ever thought possible! I am happy. I owe a lot of it to @kayla_itsines and to you all for the support, encouragement and positivity you all radiate. So thank you. Can't wait to see my progress continue 💕 #bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgfam #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgcommunity #kaylasarmy #kaylastrong #kaylaitsines #thekaylamovement #thek2movement #workout #fitness #exercise #gym #homeworkout #progresspic #beactive #eatwell #getupandjustdoit #healthyliving

I was tagged by a few gorgeous ladies for #20beautifulwomen (thanks @anneups_bbg @lau_readysetgo @fit2bekoot @fit_mom365 😘) I want to just dedicate this to ALL of you. I am so lucky to follow/know/be followed by so many incredibly beautiful and inspiring women - I wish I could tag all of you 💕 Every single day you amazing ladies inspire, motivate and support me and I am just in awe of how awesome you are. I hope you are all half as proud of yourselves as I am of you and please don't ever stop being such incredible, powerful and strong human beings 😘💕💕💕 #bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgfam #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgcommunity #kaylasarmy #kaylastrong #kaylaitsines #thekaylamovement #empoweringwomen #workout #eatwell #fitness #exercise #beactive #healthyliving #getupandjustdoit

Theme of the week: boob sweat 💦🙈 Best part: I didn't even workout in this too. I put it on after this morning's @soulcycle class so I could be covered walking to my car. I might as well have showered in my sports bra 😹 And now I have to wash a shirt I wore for 8 minutes 😐 Anyway, husband and I had time for a quick bakery breakfast before work today and I had amaaaaaazing oatmeal 😋 Now it's time for work for the rest of my life tho 💕 #bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgfam #fitfam #bbgcommunity #bbground2 #bbgweek19 #bbgmeetssoulcycle #bbgliss #kaylasarmy #kaylastrong #kaylaitsines #thek2movement #thekaylamovement #sweatitout #soulcycle #fitness #exercise #workout #indoorcycling #beactive #getupandjustdoit #healthyliving

Ok so this morning after #legday I was all "oh crap I still haven't done #morningabs for @dre_la @bbgmomtotwinsplus1 and @sarahgetsstrong_bbg" (I am the worst with tags) so I went to try and do them despite having 🍕 last night and noticed that my bra was SOAKED in sweat 💦🙈 Like, my bra is actually only one shade of blue, guys. I was properly cracking up and thought "you know what, I'm gonna share this" because THIS is what working out looks like - it's gross and sweaty and TOUGH. But it's also incredibly rewarding physically AND mentally (and, because of the #bbgcommunity socially too). Anyway, tagged ladies show me those #morningabs or share your own slightly gross but real #sweatyselfie #bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgfam #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgweek19 #bbground2 #kaylasarmy #thekaylamovement #thek2movement #kaylastrong #kaylaitsines #sweatwithkayla #sweatitout #workout #fitness #exercise #gym #beactive #getupandjustdoit #healthyliving

Kicking off #bbgweek19 with leg day! Checking out my 🍑 progress and getting a couple #postworkoutselfie pics in for ❤️ I tell you, this workout is a KILLER 💀 Finishing up with 10 minutes on the stair master pretty much ended me 💦 Long day at work for me and I'm craving just one more weekend day (so jealous of all of you who get MLK day off) 💕 #bbg #bbggirls #bbgfam #bbgsisters #fitfam #bbgla #bbglosangeles #bbgsocal #bbgcalifornia #bbgcommunity #bbground2 #kaylasarmy #kaylastrong #kaylaitsines #thek2movement #thekaylamovement #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla #sweatitout #legday #gym #squats #bootyprogress #workout #fitness #beactive #getupandjustdoit #healthyliving
