Kayla Itsines
Kayla has dominated the fitness world, thanks to her revolutionary creation of BBG (Bikini Body Guides), which anyone and everyone can do. She often posts transformation pics of girls before and after they embarked on the BBG journey and let’s just say that they’re all jaw-droppingly amazing! Not everyone becomes a stick-thin supermodel from following the BBG plan – the whole idea behind it is ‘strong not skinny’ which is such a great attitude to have in mind during your fitness journey. Kayla herself is very relatable and often posts workout videos so that you can double check you’re doing all the moves right.
