Kayla Itsine: ‘I have nothing to hide’

Look at Kayla Itsine’s Instagram feed and you’d be hard pressed to find anything that isn’t a wholesome snap of the super successful personal trainer’s diet or exercise routine.

But behind all the coconut water pics and six-pack selfies, there must be a side to Kayla we don’t see.

The 25-year-old has candidly opened up about her private life, revealing she shares absolutely everything with her 6.1 million Instagram followers.

“I share everything: when I’m not working out, when I’m eating dessert, when I have my period,” she tells Vogue Australia in a new interview.

“I have literally nothing to hide. I don’t drink alcohol. I don’t take drugs or go out. It is not like I do that for show.”

With Kayla’s business worth big bucks – $46 million to be exact – the fitness sensation admits she knows the power of social media and exactly what it can do.

“I am a woman who has grown up in the age of mobile phones, social media and apps. What this means is that conversation is everywhere, and both good and bad messages can be spread far and wide,” Kayla writes in her book The Bikini Body: 28-Day Healthy Eating & Lifestyle Guide.

It’s seen the savvy Aussie make sure she never puts a foot wrong both on and off social media.

“The way social media is rapidly able to distribute messages to the world is phenomenal,” writes Kayla.

“Unfortunately, it is often the wrong messages that we see trending in our news feeds.”
