If you're reading this, then you're either A) already a BBG girl, B) new to the wonderful world of BBG or C) none of the above haha. When I first started, I fumbled my way through. At the time I wasn't aware of the huge community and either it hadn't existed yet, or I hadn't found it. I've completed BBG 1.0 three full times. I've completed BBG 2.0 up to week 20. I'm currently on 2.0 again, on week 14. I've also seen a lot of questions about 1/2 marathon / marathon training and BBG. I'll be posting a separate post about that soon! Without further ado, here are my top BBG tips: 1. Get involved with the community... Their support is incredible! They're also extremely helpful if you have any questions. There are groups on Facebook, tons of girls on Instagram & lots of meet ups. The community is a wonderful resource.
2. Stay positive... The workouts are very hard (did you really think they'd be easy if you only had to workout for 28 minutes?), but you'll get through them and get better/stronger! Don't get down on yourself because you see someone saying they completed the circuit 3 times and you can't finish it 1 time. If you continue to work, you will get better. One week you may not be able to finish a circuit, and two weeks later you may get through it once. Progress is progress. So stay positive! 3. Take videos, pictures, do the challenges... anything to track your progress. I've enjoyed the videos because you can see form improvement, speed and the shape of your body change with each progress video. Pictures are also great. Make sure you take pictures from every angle (I haven't done this from the beginning and I wish I had). Take them in your workout clothes, bathing suit and some people even do a bra and undies. It is up to you! Challenges are great because you may finish a it in 35 minutes the first time and 34 minutes the second time. Progress is progress (I can't say this enough!) 3. Everyone is different... Some people see results in 1 months, others take longer. Don't compare yourself! 4. You'll get out as much as you put in... Lots of cheat meals or missed workouts will hold you back. Don't be afraid to add an extra rep or upgrade a move. The girls who get the insane results are pushing themselves every workout (example #mysweatlifeLISSfromhell). Don't be afraid to do 4 resistance workouts in 1 week instead of 3. Burpees too easy for you? Add a bushu or a push up or even a push up and a bench jump. 5. Loving yourself! If you're not where you want to be, hating your body will not get you there any faster. That hate is wasted energy. Replace those mean self hating thoughts with positivity and self love. If you keep doing the work in the gym, you'll eventually get there and when you do, you should already have so much self love. It's been a process for me, I write down positive things about myself to reinforce it because I do struggle with negative thoughts about myself. But self love is SO important. I'm still working on it, but I'll get there and you will too. 6. Stay positive & enjoy the journey! I hope this has helped! If you have ANY questions, comment below and I'll get back to you! XOXO, Wilk
