by Rhyley Bryan

Does the BBG program really work?

Does BBG Work? Yes & No. Yes, because the workouts truly made me stronger and more confident in my workout ability. I had started out with barely any strength to do a pushup, or the stamina to complete 20 jump lunges, and only three months later I was able to complete 20 pushups and 40 jump lunges with ease.

Is PWR or BBG better?

PWR is mainly gym-based, with less cardio and more weights. Those aforementioned instagrammers left BBG to create programs that are much more in line with PWR. I personally think that lifting is much easier after doing multiple rounds of BBG.

Is BBG considered HIIT?

They’re ALL HIIT Workouts They aren’t all HIIT workouts, but it definitely feels like it. Kayla does schedule in some LISS (low-intensity steady state) cardio every other day, but it’s up to you on what you plan to do. There are three HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workouts a week that are 28-minutes long.

Is BBG worth the money?

Yes, BBG really works! Overall, I saw INCREDIBLE results. I felt stronger, I got leaner and I had more energy. Initially I just did the BBG workout (so I worked out 3 days a week) but then I added in running 1-3 days a week on our treadmill.

The first six Beginner weeks include two resistance workouts each week (there is an optional extra one if you want more!), and a third workout is added in Week 7. This means that the exercise program only gets harder as you get fitter and stronger.

    • Is PWR good for weight loss?

    Both programs are designed to increase lean muscle and can help with fat loss. However, by adding the circuit section to the resistance workouts of PWR at Home, it has given the program a slight edge for weight loss because of the type of increased intensity.

    Is it OK to do HIIT everyday?

    HIIT is a great, safe, and effective workout, but there’s no need to do it every day. Keep it to three times per week. You’ll still reap the benefits and give your body time to recover properly.
