This Aussie Mum Lost 29kg By Following This Fitness Regime

When Aussie school teacher Rachel gained 30kgs after the birth of her second child, she knew she had to make a change. But as a time-poor young mum, she also didn’t have hours to spare slogging it out at the gym every day.

Enter, Kayla Itsines’ BBG Resistance Program: the at-home fitness regime that motivated Rachel to completely overhaul her mind and body.

“Transformation and change doesn’t happen overnight,” she admits in a recent Instagram post.

Transformation and change doesn't happen overnight. The picture on the left was taken a month after my second child was born. I put on over 30kg in both pregnancies. I set myself goals as time went on. Initially it was weight loss and then it moved to building strength. Working out is my Happy Place. I feel strong and fearless and that is what I love the most about the journey of keeping fit. Don't let the failures get you down. Use them to set new goals and what you can achieve is endless. . . . . . . . #bbg #bbgprogress #bbgtransformation #kaylaitsines #bbgmums #bbgmoms #bbgcommunity #transformation #sweat #kaylasarmy #bbgfam #fitfam #fitness #fitchicks @kayla_itsines

Rachel committed to doing the 30-minute high-intensity sessions five days a week and worked on balancing her diet with lots of fruits and veggies. She would even lay out her active-wear the night before to motivate herself to work out in the morning, no matter how much of a distraction her kids were.

It wasn’t long until Rachel started seeing results. And fast forward three years; she’s lost 29kgs and considers her BBG sweat sesh as her favourite time of the day.

#transformationtuesday ✌️✌️ Taking progress photos is so important to track your progress. At times you can get stuck and feel as though your not making any gains but then you look back to where you started and it's something to celebrate to see how far you have come. 3 Years and still loving the journey. . . . . . . . #bbgprogress #bbgtransformation #bbg #bbgmums #bbgmoms #fit #fitness #fitfam #fitchicks #health #healthyliving @kayla_itsines #bbgcommunity #kaylasarmy #kaylaitsines

[This is Me] My name is Rachel, I am 30 years old Married with 2 children (4 yr old and almost 3 yr old). I am a High School PE Teacher and I absolutely love my job. I have always loved sport and fitness. I started #bbg after the birth of my daughter. I had put on 30kg in both pregnancies and was keen to find a fitness program I could easily do at home. It has almost been 3years since I started #bbg. Best decision I ever made. I don't follow a set nutrition plan but try to eat as healthy as possible but do treat myself often. Note: My favourite #bbg workout is leg day. . . . . . . #bbgfam #bbgmoms #bbgmums #bbgsisters #transformation #ThankYou #bbgprogress #fitfam #fitness #fitchicks #nevergiveup #sweat #sweatwithkayla @kayla_itsines
