BBG: The Workout Routine Katherine Heigl Used To Lose Baby Weight

Actress, Katherine Heigl posted a photo on her Instagram Monday with per post-baby body. It's been 14 months since the birth of her son Joshua Jr and she has gotten the baby weight off and looks absolutely fantastic. How did she do it?! Taking the BBG challenge, also known as the "Bikini Body Guide" 

Heigl writes in her Instagram post: "It’s been almost 14 months since Joshua Jr was born and it has taken me about that long to really get back in shape. The first pic was taken one month after he was born. The second pic was taken almost a full year later and the last pic was taken this weekend. I wish I had a few from in between the first and second so you could really see how slow my progress was but alas...I was busy covering it all up those months, not posing in my unders! Anyway, I have a beach vacation coming up, a new job I start filming in April and my deep desire to feel fit, strong and sexy propelling me forward the last two months to finally loose the last of my baby weight and do a deep dive search for the ab muscles I knew were buried under that belly somewhere! I was wholly and totally inspired by Miss @rachparcell and the before and after pics she shared after taking the #bbg challenge. I had never heard of it but she looked so damn great (she had her baby just a few months before me) that I had to check it out. I found a fantastic app called #sweat that features several different #bbg programs you can choose from and makes it incredibly easy to do anywhere, which for me means in my bedroom at home! I won’t lie, the workouts are real ass kickers but the progress I’ve made in only 5 short weeks has kept me motivated and inspired to keep going! I am so grateful I’ve had a full year to find those ab muscles and get my butt back up where it belongs and wasn’t forced by work to snap back into shape but it is time to make the strength, fitness and overall health of my body a priority and I am so grateful that @rachparcell shared her story and got this mama motivated!" 

What is BBG? It's a bikini body guide that includes a fitness and nutrition plan spanning 12 weeks! The program is built around intense 28-minute workouts three days a week. Broken down by arms and abs, legs and full body so that each day is focusing on a different muscle group. There are many different versions of BBG but you can expect to see moves like push-ups, planks, burpees, jumping jacks and more with a meal plan that helps women make diet choices to better fuel their bodies. 

What makes it different from other programs? Pop Sugar asked Australian trainer and Instagram star Kayla Itsines about her program she said, "Firstly it's for women, which women love," she said. "And then there's the fact it's 28 minutes. . . . It's so quick and easy but also very challenging and pushes you." 

There's a whole community of women using these work outs for health reasons and or to lose weight. Now that Katherine Heigl is a member i'm sure she has inspired even more people to take control of their life. "...when you have a community like the BBG community, it's actually very hard to lose motivation, because they're constantly encouraging you and posting photos. It's like a family," says Kayla of the program! 

Well after seeing Heigl's results we are definitely intrigued!
