Kayla Itsines posts a variety of workout videos to her Instagram page that appeal to a wide range of abilities. On Saturday, April 18, the fitness trainer posted an exercise circuit geared towards beginner trainees that are interested in a lower body challenge.
For the workout, Kayla wears an orange sports bra with a low-cut neckline that leaves much of her upper body exposed, including her sculpted arm muscles and defined abdomen. She pairs the top with tiny black gym shorts that rise up to her belly button and extend to just below her backside. The shorts give the trainer’s followers an eyeful of her long, chiseled legs.
Kayla completes the outfit with a pair of white sneakers and accessorizes with a gold bar necklace and black exercise watch. Her long, brunette tresses are swept up into a high bun on top of her head and she adds a touch of black mascara and pink lip gloss to emphasize her facial features.
The home workout consists of two circuits, each containing three different exercises. Kayla demonstrates each move in a separate video clip included in the post. The workout requires a dumbbell and resistance band but Kayla tells her followers that they can improvise with household items if the equipment is not available.
The first video begins with an introduction from the fitness trainer. She explains that the workout is a 10-minute beginner lower body challenge and then encourages her followers to get started. The first exercise is the goblet reverse lunge, performed for a total of 10 reps, five on each side. The next exercise is known as the hover and is held for 25 seconds. The third exercise is the side plank and hip abduction for 10 total reps, five on each side.
The second circuit begins with a series of squats using the dumbbell for a total of 10 reps. Kayla then moves on to glute kickbacks with the resistance band for 10 reps, five on each side. The final exercise in the circuit is the bent leg jackknife for 10 reps.
In the caption of the post, Kayla outlines each workout and the number of reps that should be completed for each. She writes that each circuit is performed for a total of five minutes and adds that her followers can go through the entire workout twice for an extra challenge.
The lower body challenge earned over 20,000 likes and dozens of comments within the first few hours of appearing on the photo-sharing site.
