00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,140
[trying chloe ting's workouts]

10
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:26,200
hi guys

11
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,760
I have short hair again

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,100
I took out my extensions a few weeks ago

13
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:33,780
for the past two weeks I thought I would try to get fit

14
00:00:33,780 --> 00:00:36,740
and get back into shape during quarantine

15
00:00:36,740 --> 00:00:41,260
so I tried Chloe Ting's two weeks shred program

16
00:00:41,260 --> 00:00:45,520
except I put my own twist to it because I wanted to really focus on

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,660
getting a flatter stomach and strengthening my core

18
00:00:48,660 --> 00:00:51,300
so I ended up doing a lot of her ab workouts

19
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:53,190
ok let's get started

20
00:00:53,190 --> 00:00:55,940
this is the before a shot of my upper
body

21
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:58,580
I had been eating quite a lot during quarantine

22
00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:01,960
and was barely active prior to starting this workout

23
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,320
so I was pretty bloated as you can see

24
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:08,920
I was at a stage where I felt like I really needed to start working out again

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,940
because of how heavy my body felt

26
00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:31,960
the first four days of the workout were
definitely the most difficult

27
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:34,941
it was almost impossible for me to get through a single workout

28
00:01:34,941 --> 00:01:38,260
without pausing the video and taking breaks in between

29
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:41,400
I'm also pretty sure I have asked a lot of the exercises

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,920
and my posture was not the best

31
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,440
my body was very sore up until day 5

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,700
so it was honestly a bit daunting
at first

33
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:51,000
and I didn't know if I could get through the challenge

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,160
but I managed to push through

35
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,260
it was just overall very tough

36
00:01:55,260 --> 00:01:57,840
so if you're struggling in the beginning like I was

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,440
let me just tell you it gets better

38
00:02:55,180 --> 00:02:59,460
I cut back on a lot of unnecessary
calorie intake during these two weeks so

39
00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:03,100
instead of eating a big breakfast or
working out on an empty stomach

40
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:06,740
i thought it would be a good idea to drink
a simple smoothie for breakfast

41
00:03:06,740 --> 00:03:10,040
I like blending a scoop of this powder with
sweet potatoes

42
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,400
and a cup of milk for a creamy smoothie

43
00:03:18,340 --> 00:03:21,380
another way I've been drinking this is
by making it a whipped latte

44
00:03:21,390 --> 00:03:25,280
it's similar to dalgona cofee aka
whipped coffee

45
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,240
except you need heavy whipping cream instead of water

46
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,360
add a bit of sugar and some heavy whipping cream to a scoop of the greens

47
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,340
whip it until it's a thick consistency

48
00:03:34,340 --> 00:03:36,440
and then mix it with a glass of milk

49
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,460
I'll go into more details about what my meals look like later on in the video

50
00:03:40,460 --> 00:03:42,720
but first let's get back to the workouts

51
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,240
starting day 5, I could feel like
we're getting stronger

52
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,200
and my body was starting to get used to the intensity of the workouts

53
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,060
my muscles were no longer sore

54
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:02,680
and this is when I started to
genuinely enjoy the exercises

55
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,500
I actually looked forward to exercising every morning

56
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:08,180
which is very unusual for me

57
00:04:08,180 --> 00:04:12,160
i no longer needed to pause the videos and take long breaks

58
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,820
and I could physically feel my body gaining strength

59
00:04:14,820 --> 00:04:18,200
which is always an encouraging sign to continue through

60
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,020
one of the two main problems I
encountered was that

61
00:04:21,020 --> 00:04:24,800
I got blisters on my feet because I didn't wear any shoes

62
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,380
so I highly recommend you get a pair of workout shoes to protect your feet

63
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,960
the second problem that I encountered
was that

64
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,800
I started experiencing sharp pain in my right hip

65
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,180
whenever I tried to
raise my foot

66
00:05:12,180 --> 00:05:15,680
so I put on a tiger balm patch on the affected area

67
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,820
and decided to take the next day off

68
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:21,080
I was worried that this would stop me from finishing the challenge

69
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,260
but after I took a day off

70
00:05:23,260 --> 00:05:24,400
the pain was nearly gone

71
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,960
and I was ready
to get back on my feet the following day

72
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:45,020
[my workout partner (my sister)]

73
00:05:45,420 --> 00:05:50,040
for my meals I had a meal around three
to four pm and skipped dinner

74
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,240
I would usually have a salad with other side
dishes that my mom cooked for me

75
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,440
this may not seem like enough food but it's
actually a pretty big meal

76
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,420
and it was enough to keep me going throughout the
rest of the day

77
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,840
I finished my workout for today

78
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:42,040
but I realized and I wasn't recording

79
00:06:45,460 --> 00:06:48,260
I guess I'll just do one more workout
just to record it

80
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,320
my yoga mat has literally become powder

81
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,680
omg

82
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,260
towards the end of the challenge I was
really happy with how strong my core had become

83
00:08:04,260 --> 00:08:07,080
although I still can't do a
single pushup to save my life

84
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,280
I'm definitely getting better at each of the
exercises

85
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,740
I was also able to physically see my abs grow more defined each day

86
00:08:14,740 --> 00:08:17,900
which was very rewarding after these intense workouts

87
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:43,960
[after]

88
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,900
[before, after]

89
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:49,080
that's basically it

90
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,900
today is day 14 and
I just finished my workout

91
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:56,500
I feel like I'm a lot more productive when I start my days off with a workout

92
00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:59,380
so I'm definitely going to try to at least do

93
00:08:59,380 --> 00:09:02,400
one of her workout videos every morning

94
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,600
I didn't want to focus on any numbers

95
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,700
so I didn't weigh myself or measure anything

96
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:09,960
I just wanted to focus on how I
looked and how I felt

97
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,940
by the looks of it my stomach got significantly flatter and more toned

98
00:09:14,940 --> 00:09:19,220
and I feel a lot stronger and a lot more energized

99
00:09:19,220 --> 00:09:22,880
than I did two weeks ago before I started this challenge

100
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,220
overall I'm really happy with
the results

101
00:09:25,220 --> 00:09:28,140
I think it's easy enough for people to follow along

102
00:09:28,140 --> 00:09:34,440
but you need a lot of strength and endurance to kind of push through the whole workout

103
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,160
so yeah I definitely recommend it

104
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,120
if you guys found this video helpful

105
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,220
please give this video a thumbs up

106
00:09:40,220 --> 00:09:42,680
so yeah that's it for today's video

107
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:44,160
thank you guys for watching

108
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,100
