WEBVTT 00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:03.920 [get fit during quarantine?] 00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:09.720 [before] 00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:13.580 [workout partner] 00:00:13.580 --> 00:00:15.380 [smoothie, whipped latte] 00:00:15.380 --> 00:00:17.440 [meals, workout] 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.220 [tired...] 00:00:19.220 --> 00:00:21.160 [2 weeks later...] 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:23.040 [after] 00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:25.140 [trying chloe ting's workouts] 00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:26.200 hi guys 00:00:26.200 --> 00:00:27.760 I have short hair again 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.100 I took out my extensions a few weeks ago 00:00:30.100 --> 00:00:33.780 for the past two weeks I thought I would try to get fit 00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:36.740 and get back into shape during quarantine 00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:41.260 so I tried Chloe Ting's two weeks shred program 00:00:41.260 --> 00:00:45.520 except I put my own twist to it because I wanted to really focus on 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.660 getting a flatter stomach and strengthening my core 00:00:48.660 --> 00:00:51.300 so I ended up doing a lot of her ab workouts 00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:53.190 ok let's get started 00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:55.940 this is the before a shot of my upper body 00:00:55.940 --> 00:00:58.580 I had been eating quite a lot during quarantine 00:00:58.580 --> 00:01:01.960 and was barely active prior to starting this workout 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.320 so I was pretty bloated as you can see 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 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:10.940 because of how heavy my body felt 00:01:28.740 --> 00:01:31.960 the first four days of the workout were definitely the most difficult 00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:34.941 it was almost impossible for me to get through a single workout 00:01:34.941 --> 00:01:38.260 without pausing the video and taking breaks in between 00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:41.400 I'm also pretty sure I have asked a lot of the exercises 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.920 and my posture was not the best 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.440 my body was very sore up until day 5 00:01:46.440 --> 00:01:48.700 so it was honestly a bit daunting at first 00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:51.000 and I didn't know if I could get through the challenge 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.160 but I managed to push through 00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:55.260 it was just overall very tough 00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:57.840 so if you're struggling in the beginning like I was 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.440 let me just tell you it gets better 00:02:55.180 --> 00:02:59.460 I cut back on a lot of unnecessary calorie intake during these two weeks so 00:02:59.470 --> 00:03:03.100 instead of eating a big breakfast or working out on an empty stomach 00:03:03.100 --> 00:03:06.740 i thought it would be a good idea to drink a simple smoothie for breakfast 00:03:06.740 --> 00:03:10.040 I like blending a scoop of this powder with sweet potatoes 00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:12.400 and a cup of milk for a creamy smoothie 00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:21.380 another way I've been drinking this is by making it a whipped latte 00:03:21.390 --> 00:03:25.280 it's similar to dalgona cofee aka whipped coffee 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.240 except you need heavy whipping cream instead of water 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.360 add a bit of sugar and some heavy whipping cream to a scoop of the greens 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.340 whip it until it's a thick consistency 00:03:34.340 --> 00:03:36.440 and then mix it with a glass of milk 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 00:03:40.460 --> 00:03:42.720 but first let's get back to the workouts 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.240 starting day 5, I could feel like we're getting stronger 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.200 and my body was starting to get used to the intensity of the workouts 00:03:57.200 --> 00:03:59.060 my muscles were no longer sore 00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:02.680 and this is when I started to genuinely enjoy the exercises 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.500 I actually looked forward to exercising every morning 00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:08.180 which is very unusual for me 00:04:08.180 --> 00:04:12.160 i no longer needed to pause the videos and take long breaks 00:04:12.160 --> 00:04:14.820 and I could physically feel my body gaining strength 00:04:14.820 --> 00:04:18.200 which is always an encouraging sign to continue through 00:04:18.200 --> 00:04:21.020 one of the two main problems I encountered was that 00:04:21.020 --> 00:04:24.800 I got blisters on my feet because I didn't wear any shoes 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.380 so I highly recommend you get a pair of workout shoes to protect your feet 00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:05.960 the second problem that I encountered was that 00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:09.800 I started experiencing sharp pain in my right hip 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.180 whenever I tried to raise my foot 00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:15.680 so I put on a tiger balm patch on the affected area 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.820 and decided to take the next day off 00:05:17.820 --> 00:05:21.080 I was worried that this would stop me from finishing the challenge 00:05:21.080 --> 00:05:23.260 but after I took a day off 00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:24.400 the pain was nearly gone 00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:27.960 and I was ready to get back on my feet the following day 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:45.020 [my workout partner (my sister)] 00:05:45.420 --> 00:05:50.040 for my meals I had a meal around three to four pm and skipped dinner 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:54.240 I would usually have a salad with other side dishes that my mom cooked for me 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.440 this may not seem like enough food but it's actually a pretty big meal 00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:00.420 and it was enough to keep me going throughout the rest of the day 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:39.840 I finished my workout for today 00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:42.040 but I realized and I wasn't recording 00:06:45.460 --> 00:06:48.260 I guess I'll just do one more workout just to record it 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:31.320 my yoga mat has literally become powder 00:07:31.320 --> 00:07:32.680 omg 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 00:08:04.260 --> 00:08:07.080 although I still can't do a single pushup to save my life 00:08:07.080 --> 00:08:10.280 I'm definitely getting better at each of the exercises 00:08:10.280 --> 00:08:14.740 I was also able to physically see my abs grow more defined each day 00:08:14.740 --> 00:08:17.900 which was very rewarding after these intense workouts 00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:43.960 [after] 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.900 [before, after] 00:08:47.900 --> 00:08:49.080 that's basically it 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.900 today is day 14 and I just finished my workout 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 00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:59.380 so I'm definitely going to try to at least do 00:08:59.380 --> 00:09:02.400 one of her workout videos every morning 00:09:02.400 --> 00:09:04.600 I didn't want to focus on any numbers 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.700 so I didn't weigh myself or measure anything 00:09:06.700 --> 00:09:09.960 I just wanted to focus on how I looked and how I felt 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:14.940 by the looks of it my stomach got significantly flatter and more toned 00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:19.220 and I feel a lot stronger and a lot more energized 00:09:19.220 --> 00:09:22.880 than I did two weeks ago before I started this challenge 00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:25.220 overall I'm really happy with the results 00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:28.140 I think it's easy enough for people to follow along 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 00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.160 so yeah I definitely recommend it 00:09:36.160 --> 00:09:38.120 if you guys found this video helpful 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.220 please give this video a thumbs up 00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:42.680 so yeah that's it for today's video 00:09:42.680 --> 00:09:44.160 thank you guys for watching 00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:48.100 and I will see you in my next video. bye!
