VIDEO: #FITGIRLCODE interviews Kayla Itsines

As many of you know, Kayla Itsines visited The Netherlands last week! The Australian Fit Girl is well known for her e-book Bikini Body Guides and has over 3 million followers on Instagram. During her world tour she does what she loves most: train, inspire and motivate people.  Founder of ​#FITGIRLCODE, Aranka, sat down with Kayla for an interview. 

I've been a personal trainer since the age of 18 and when I would ask my clients what they wanted to achieve, they would say they didn't want the perfect body, but they wanted to feel comfortable wearing a bikini. That's where the name Bikini Body Guide comes from.

No, I have so much success because of social media. If I wanted to do this 20 years ago, I never would have been able to reach so many people.

My fans motivate me, and my followers on my Instagram account. I didn't have much when I started so I became my own motivation. I noticed the before and after pictures motivated my clients, so I started to publish them on Instagram.

Being fit doesn't mean there is a certain look to that. Everyone looks different. Also, we all have different preferences, some like muscular bodies and some don't. That is why I focus so much on before and after picture, because if you see so much difference after a couple of weeks, you get your own idea on what fit means.

I love tiramisu! And because I'm Greek, I'm used to eating a lot of food with plenty of spices, and with my guide all of that is possible. I don't believe in just eating dry rice and chicken with vegetables. I have tried it, but it's just not my thing!
