The exercise programmes on her website are free, time-efficient and tell you exactly what you need to do every day. The one that eventually stuck was Chloe Ting’s workout videos, which have garnered hundreds of millions of views on YouTube. I gave barre a shot and liked the long stretches enough to do it for two days, but later made the executive decision to cut my wobbly toes some slack. I tried a version of Pilates, but the soft music and slow, controlled movements didn’t compare to the rush of running outside with Kendrick Lamar blaring in the background. The transformation testimonials made the mountain climbers and side plank crunches look deceptively easy, so I, too, followed the herd. Even the ones who had declared their deep-seated hatred for exercising had succumbed to home workout videos. Almost everyone I knew abandoned their gyms and turned to YouTube to get abs in two weeks. The online fitness community, in particular, was thriving. Me, I haven’t properly exercised in more than a year, all the way back when gyms closed and my personal training sessions came to an abrupt halt - just around the time I thought my triceps were starting to resemble horseshoes.Įarly 2020 seemed like a productive time for the world. Or, at least it is for those in the city who are committing to the 30x30 fitness challenge.
