Kayla Itsines Workout Routine

Itsines follows a 28-minute-high-intensity BBG program three times a week. It includes workouts built from a set of 150 moves inspired by sports and physical training, focusing on toning abdomens, inner thighs, and arms while developing powerful legs and core strength. She tries to complement the vigorous workouts with two half-an-hour sessions of brisk walking. Itsines performs some mobility exercises (including shoulder sweeps, crab walk, crab reach, shin box, lunge with overhead reach, and wall squats) to warm up before starting her training sessions. Each 28-minute training session is broken up into 4 circuits.

Kayla Itsines Diet Plan

Itsines has always been a big fan of the Mediterranean diet. In a recent interview, she has revealed that a balanced, Mediterranean diet plan works for her body, and it is a part of her Greek heritage. During the beginning of her pregnancy, she made few adjustments to her normal nutrition plan and ate more dry foods than she usually would. After 23 weeks, she switched back to her regular eating plan that includes plenty of fresh veggies, fruits, grilled meat, rice, and olive oil. Here’s her detailed daily meal plan:

  • Breakfast: Kale and scrambled eggs on toast or spinach and mushrooms on toast
  • Lunch: Whole-wheat wrap, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, and tzatziki dressing, homemade chicken gyros
  • Post-Meal Snack: Fresh seasonal fruits
  • Dinner: Grilled lamb or chicken, grilled vegetables with olive oil, brown rice
  • Occasional Sugar Cravings: Greek yogurt and honey
