Kayla Itsines Shares the 100-Rep Core Challenge You Must Try

If you’re up for working out your core and moving on with your day, Kayla Itsines has just what you need.

OMG!! I am SO excited to announce my latest program, BBG ZERO EQUIPMENT today!! ⁣ #BBGZeroEquipment came about because I wanted to create a program that would make it easier for women all over the world to stay fit and healthy, and to work out anytime, anywhere.⁣ ⁣ Lately I've been thinking a lot about my early days as a personal trainer and the way I used to train women in their backyards and at bootcamps. I remember when I first met these women they felt so defeated – they often weren't able to get to the gym and didn't have any equipment at home and felt like they would never be able to make progress. Once I started training them, it was amazing to see the changes in their attitude when they learnt they could get a high-intensity workout in from their homes or in a park without any equipment. They felt amazing. So this is where I began, helping women feel confident and empowered through no-equipment workouts. ⁣ ⁣ This program is really taking it back to where it ALL began for me and the #BBGcommunity – and it reflects all of the different training sessions I would do with my clients back in the day. All of the workouts are less than 30 minutes, and I've included workouts that follow the original BBG circuit style, I've also included time-based bootcamp workouts and 13-minute express workouts, too. This program is all about no equipment, high-intensity workouts for women who want to challenge themselves to become stronger and more confident. 💪 It's a flexible training program that is designed to work for YOU, to fit in with your lifestyle and routine.⁣ ⁣ This 16-week program has everything you love about my #BBG program, but it’s designed specifically for the women who want to work out without equipment and using minimal space. I wanted this program to be available to EVERYONE and suitable for all fitness levels, so I’ve included 4 weeks of beginner weeks as well. I’m also SO excited to share that there are 70 BRAND NEW exercises included in the workouts. ⁣ #BBGcommunity, you can try my new program RIGHT NOW! Download or update the @SWEAT app today. 💪⁣ ⁣ WHO’S EXCITED?! Comment below. 😜👇⁣ ⁣ kaylaitsines.com/BBGZeroEquipment⁣ ⁣ #BBGatHome #SWEATatHome

“To complete this challenge, you can choose the level of difficulty that best suits you,” the video description reads. “The aim is to complete 10 sets of 10 reps with a 10 second rest in between. If you want to really challenge yourself, try doing 100 reps in a row with no rest! You’ve got this!”

The challenge can be modified to suit your fitness level. If you’re a beginner, do 100 reps of alternating bent leg raises. For intermediate level, give ab bikes a try. For those who are up for a challenge, Itsines suggests doing 100 bent leg jackknives.

Unless you’re doing this challenge after your regular workout, make sure to warm up by doing some jumping jacks or walking up and down some stairs. Doing a single exercise for 100 times and being done with it may sound easy, but it’s not so much. Don’t forget to stretch in the end!
