My weekly review for the bikini body guide! My reviews for the other weeks:

week 8 here

week 10 here
week 11 here



Monday
Legs. Felt like week 1 all over again, 180 degree jump squats are so hard!

Tuesday:
Half an hour of biking for cardio.

Wednesday:
My arms are so much stronger now, I could do almost all moves without pausing! Definitely felt sore the next day.

Thursday:
Biked half an hour for cardio.

Friday:
Abs! I'm seeing the most results in this area, although abs are made in the kitchen these workouts really helped define mine.

Saturday:
Biked half an hour for cardio.

Sunday
Rest.

And here are my final results! (week 1 left and week 12 right)




I'm so happy with my final results! The workouts were very hard (especially in the beginning) but the results were worth it! I'm going to repeat the last 4 weeks and add in more strength training to maintain these results an hopefully lose some more body fat. I would recommend the guide for everyone who wants to tone up and is willing to work for it. It may seem pricey but compared to hiring a personal trainer for 12 weeks it's a good buy!

Monday
Last day of my 3 day festival! (Pinkpop).

Tuesday:
Spend the whole day sleeping, so tired!

Wednesday:
Decided to do abs today and skip legs this week, after spending 3 days on my feet my legs were so sore! Abs were hard, felt them for 2 days after this routine!

Thursday:
Biked half an hour for cardio.

Friday:
Arms! All these burpees are killing me! Least favorite exercise ever, but so effective.

Saturday:
Rest.

Sunday
Rest.

Not my best week... But that happens and I'm getting back on track for week 10! I've been doing the bikini body guide for 9 weeks now and I'm so glad I started it. I've seen a nice change in my body, I've gotten leaner and stronger! Here are my progress pictures (week 1 on the left, week 9 on the right):




It certainly looks like I lost some body fat! Especially my stomach and upper legs look a lot slimmer. I can't wait to post my final before and after in 3 weeks!

Monday
Arms and abs. I love how strong my arms are compared to week 1, imagine I couldn't even do one push up!


Tuesday:
Biked half an hour for cardio.

Wednesday:
Abs and cardio. I actually don't mind cardio that much when it's in between other exercises, makes it less boring!


Thursday:
Walked half an hour for cardio.

Friday:
Legs and cardio! Broad jump burpees and tuck jumps are so hard, I had to pause so many times to catch my breath.

 



Saturday:
Walking around and dancing at Pinkpop

Sunday:
Same as Saturday!

And that concludes week 8, I can't believe I've only got one month left! I'll be posting progress pictures with the next review (week 9). At the moment I'm at Pinkpop (a 3 day festival) so sorry I can't reply to any of your comments or emails. I'll be back on Tuesday.

Monday
Legs and cardio today. I can finally feel things like sumo jump squats, burpees and weighted walking lunges getting easier! I still struggle with jump lunges so that's something I still need to work on.


Tuesday:
Biked half an hour for cardio.

Wednesday:
Abs and abs. This workout was pretty easy, I can feel my arms getting stronger every week and (except for commandos) I can do all exercises without taking a break to rest my arms.


Thursday:
Biked half an hour for cardio.

Friday:
Abs and cardio! Abs are still my favorite muscles to work on, it feels like rest in between the cardio bits!


Saturday:
Half an hour of power walking for cardio.

Sunday:
Rest!

I'll be posting new progress pictures with my week 9 review instead of week 8 because I'm going to a three day music festival (Pinkpop) this weekend! I'll still post the week 8 review on Sunday.

This week started with arms and abs, so hard! Especially the drop push ups were a challenge.


Tuesday:
Biked an hour for cardio.

Wednesday:
Abs and cardio. There's a lot of cardio this week, not sure if I'm loving it or hating it... Definitely gets my heart rate up!


Thursday:
Biked half an hour for cardio.

Friday:
Legs and cardio (again). Am I the only one having trouble with jump lunges? I can never do more than five in a row...


Saturday:
Hour long power walk for cardio.

Sunday:
Rest!

Sorry my review is one day late this week but I spend all of yesterday in Amsterdam attending a free concert by Passenger! It was amazing, really love his music. Today I'm starting week seven, which means I'm half way done with the guide!

Monday:
This week's legs and cardio was so hard! Felt like week 1 all over again. Had sore muscles for three days!


Tuesday:
An hour long treadmill run/walk for cardio. Somehow I can run farther on a treadmill than outside?

Wednesday:
And my enemy (commandos) returns again... Liking the decline push ups though. Abs are giving me good results!


Thursday:
An hour of power walking for cardio.

Friday 
Abs! Never felt them burn as much as today. I feel like my abs are my strongest muscles? Sounds weird I know.


Saturday:
Half an hour of power walking for cardio. The weather was so nice!

Sunday:
Rest!

Monday:
Decided to take my picture after I finished my work out for a change, god I look terrible. Legs and cardio still kick my ass!


Tuesday:
Biked for half an hour.

Wednesday:
Arms and abs, commandos are definitely my least favorite exercise ever. Getting better at push ups though!


Thursday:
Biked half an hour through the rain, welcome to May in The Netherlands.

Friday:
Full body workout today. Love feeling the burn in almost all my muscles. You may have noticed that I have done all my resistance workouts at home this week. With a few heavy books and something you can step on (I use a low chair) you don't even need a gym!


Saturday:
Biked for half an hour (sorry, my cardio was pretty boring this week).

Sunday:
Rest day!

And now I've completed four weeks of the guide! I know you're all wondering, have I made any progress? Did I lose weight? Do I look different? Well obviously four weeks is not a lot of time so I haven't made any mind blowing progress. I did lose 2 kilos (4.4 lbs) and I feel a lot stronger especially in my arms and abs. Here is a comparison, the pictures on the left were taken on my first day of doing the bikini body guide four weeks ago, the pictures on the right were taken today.




I tried to take the pictures at the same angle and with the same posture. I didn't look terrible before but I had some toning up to do (in my opinion). There's not a huge difference but I still have eight weeks left! I will be posting my next progress pictures in week eight.

Monday
Legs! My favorite body part to workout. I was glad to feel that the workout went easier than the first time in week 1.


Tuesday
Skipped cardio for today... Had no excuse, just lazy so i made this my rest day instead of Sunday.

Wednesday
Arms and abs today. Abs are my second favorite part to work out since I'm not happy with them yet. My arms are still very weak, I hope they catch up to the rest of my body soon.


Thursday
Biked for half an hour instead of power walking.

Friday
I find the full body workouts the easiest, no idea why! Did this one at home since I didn't feel like going to the gym.


Saturday
Spent this Saturday walking around Ikea with my mom, felt like that was enough low intensity cardio for the day.

Sunday
Went on a 45 minute bike ride, I love exercising when the sun is out!


Tomorrow I'll be starting week 4! Time moves fast doesn't it? I'll be posting progress pictures at the beginning of week 5 (so after 4 weeks of doing the guide).

Monday
My legs were already pretty sore from my sunday run so this workout was a killer. Had a bit of trouble with the jump lunges, I need to work on my balance!


Tuesday
Took a 20 minute run through the forest, the weather was so nice!


Wednesday
Arms and abs! My arms are still pretty weak, especially the push ups are a challenge. Had to lower the reps on the commandos, they were so hard!


Tuesday
Went on a 30 minute bike ride instead of power walking.

Friday
Worked out from home today and had some trouble with the commandos again. Hope my arms will get stronger!

Saturday
Kingsday! Biked for about 50 minutes and spend half the day and most of the night on my feet.

Sunday
Rest day, stretching today!

This week I'm starting a new workout plan: the Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide! It's a 12 week plan that will give you a toned bikini body. Or at least that's what she promises you. I'm going to review the guide for you, every week I'll be posting an update to show you guys how it's going. So this is week one! After 4 weeks I'll post a before and during picture to see if I have some visible results. My starting weight is 61 kilos (134 lbs).



Monday:
First work out is legs and cardio, I've been strength training for a few months now so I'd thought I would ease through these work outs. Boy was I wrong! I could barely finish the first circuit, I was so out of breath. When I finished the last circuit I felt like I had died (and looked like it). This guide is definitely going to kick my ass!


Tuesday:
Half an hour of power walking, nothing too exciting.

Wednesday:
I was dreading this work out the most, arms! My arms are very weak compared to the rest of my body, I could barely do the 15 pushups that started the first circuit! I somehow managed to finish it though and now I can't even lift my arms to pick something up.

Thursday:
Instead of powerwalking I biked 7 km.

Friday:
I didn't feel like going to the gym today, so I did my workout at home. I used a stool as a bench and some heavy books as weights! This workout was the easiest from the three in my opinion. It still had me sweating and out of breath though!


Saturday:
Decided to switch and take a rest day today instead of Sunday.

Sunday;
Went on a forty minute walk with mom through the forest. The weather was amazing!
