I’m very glad that Chloe hasn’t put that track in any of the other challenges since.Jacky went back into work today so I woke up early to prep his breakfast and coffee in the morning before he left. feed me happiness <3Yesterday I went to a friend’s house for fellowship and prayer. And just the fact that we both worked out after a 2 week hiatus! I’ll try to catch up tomorrow.I did yesterday’s videos today :) Today is supposed to be a rest day, but Jacky wanted to challenge himself to the insane Ep 6. workout video anyway. It still worked me hard, I just wasn’t as dead as expected. The key is to keep track of your progress, slow down and focus on your breathing and form and aim to do better each day. Had I not had different groups of friends messaging me daily about exercise, I may have just given up and regressed for a month, no matter how much I like Chloe’s workouts. Any time I stood up too fast I’d fall right back down again because I felt so dizzy. During: During the Chloe Ting 2020 4 Week Summer Shred Program I did not eat in a calorie deficit, and actually ate more because I was hungrier. My lower abs hurt like Tomorrow we have the main video from her 2 Week Shred. However, my core strength did not come until I started working out.Now, I can run to the supermarket easily; we literally walked there a couple of weeks ago and we each carried a large bag of groceries back by hand. I’ll use that opportunity to clean the apt.I am glad today is a rest day because I would have just rested anyway. This will mean we’d eventually need to wake up at 7am but Oh my gosh. 2 more weeks to go!I’m so glad we were able to exercise in a ground floor hotel room this morning because when we jumped, the earth shook. While we cleaned most of our apt yesterday, there were still a couple of major areas that still needed cleaning so we did that today also.Needless to say, by the end of it all, we neither had the time nor energy left to do Chloe’s workout today. So wrong.My left leg was still hurting so I’d taken it easy on the HIIT video, but my leg being in pain when I rested on it would’ve had absolutely nothing to do with how difficult I found the other two videos.
I also keep feeling like I’m coming down with something, but thankfully my immune system has been strong enough to keep whatever it is at bay.Either way, I don’t plan to over-exert my body because, while it’s great to look in the mirror and see myself slimming down, the primary purpose of these workout challenges is to improve my health and fitness. There is no one size fits all and this schedule is just my recommendation. Jump to week one or end of week one update. You need a clean diet of wholefoods while your on this program to really reap the benefits from your hard earned efforts. I really do feel like my body looks tighter and my workout clothes are fitting better (I was starting to get a bit chubby for them). I was just so sick of getting sick. But then I really didn’t want to just give up, especially when I felt personally responsible for ensuring Noah exercised today (mwahaha), so after a smoothie and an hour’s rest, I called her up and we went for it.So far there have been many different things that have kept me going and motivated to exercise even when I didn’t want to. Flora already did the entire set yesterday then did it again with us today. Has it been almost a month already? We were planning to work out earlier but unfortunately I wasn’t able to wake up early enough. 114. Very, very happy.Today we had a power outage and had a humongous Costco run. Lol. I didn’t measure those but just from how well the sports bra now fits the difference is obvious. I’m glad Annie struggled as hard as I did two days ago ahahaha she did really well though, what a trooper! Thank God I have Christ otherwise We wanted to go all out today because it’s the last week of the Summer Shred Challenge, but I still feel like I’m coming down with something and didn’t have that much energy this morning to begin with, but I was still able to get through all the videos (albeit with more breaks than Chloe took, ehhem).
(By the end Jacky literally looked like he’d showered with his clothes on and just walked out without drying himself hahahaha I wish I could show you the photos because his unimpressed face looked We had church in the morning. Looks like Chloe really knew what she was doing when she put a rest day after Tomorrow I’ll add the Ep 2. Whew, I may have eaten too much because I’m now feeling sleepy. I’ve since started lightly resting my fingertips on my abs with my elbows off the mat to ensure I’m actually engaging my core.Since we aren’t doing any of the jumping moves, even the Intense Full Body video wasn’t too bad, though we did have to stop quite a few times for Jacky to catch his breath, which was fine by Annie and I! I remember omitting all the optional videos for the 2WS because I just I also think that because she filmed this Summer Shred Challenge later, the video quality and music changes improvedI loved the pace of this challenge too – it wasn’t too much, and I only began to struggle towards the very end because I was just not feeling well overall. I’m also quite keen to try out some yoga/stretching videos but also recognise the need to actually rest on rest days, so I’m thinking of following Chloe’s program for weekdays, doing some yoga on Saturdays and then having every Sunday as a rest day from the next challenge onwards. Meanwhile I’m usually bathed in my own sweat O_O;;I can’t wait for amenities to open up again so we can book the gym or clubhouse to actually workout properly.I am beginning to find the No Jumping HIIT less challenging so I think it’s time to move to her Ep 1. video and just do all the non-jumping variations for a change.
