In the last two months, I have been getting back into making fitness a lifestyle habit. I embarked on a 25-Day Challenge with Chloe Ting while incorporating various cardio exercises alongside the challenge program. It was fun and I found new ways to keep myself from getting bored. Thanks to Youtube recommendation videos, I've found some fun new workouts to switch out so my muscles won't get too used to the moves. Today, I'm gonna focus on the new exercises I learned that burn a lot of calories and bring ingenuity to sometimes boring workouts.
Here are the fun and easy workout videos to keep you going:
Abs On Fire is one of my new favorite workout videos to incorporate during the week. In particular one of the exercises, Plank Circles is an exercise that targets your core muscles. If you're used to doing planks then this exercise will be fine for you. It's a combination of yoga and pilates together.
I discovered this fun cardio workout thanks to Youtube recommendations. It's a super fun - though slightly exhausting - exercise to do for days when you just need cardio. It's super fun and easy to remember the moves - since you repeat it 9 times for 30 minutes. Yes, it's repetitive but you will get your heart pumping and lungs on fire once you finish.
There were a lot of great ab workouts in this video to choose from! Sometimes when I want a quick workout and not follow a particular video, I'll pick and choose my own exercises. Usually, I'll alternate between Chloe Ting & Emi Wong exercises. This video is one of my other favorite ab workout videos because you really feel the burn!
What is helpful from Chloe Ting's cardio workouts, is that she gives low-impact workouts alongside the original ones. If that day you would rather stick with HITT and no low-impact exercises, you can still follow along with this video. I'm always looking for new cardio workouts to switch out with my staple ones and this one looked fun to try out.
I don't usually do workouts targeted for arms or back, as the exercises I do usually incorporate them both however I challenged myself with this one, and boy did it burn! Anytime I'm doing any plank-like exercises it does double duty of targeting my abs alongside my arms.
The workout is a 15-minute thigh workout that includes no jumping for those who want another low-impact workout.
I find with some of Emi Wong's workouts, she takes a basic exercise and elevates it to be harder. This entire workout is fantastic but the Full + Half-Ballet Kick workout is a killer! So be prepared to work your butt off.
Lastly, don't forget a full-body stretch. It is important to always stretch your body after exercising so your muscles can be relaxed and ready for the next day. Otherwise, you will wake up with sore and tight muscles.
I hope you enjoyed trying out these new workouts and that they were just as fun for you as they were for me!

A lot of us skipping the gym and working out at home has become part of the new normal, but exercising regularly is a challenge in itself. It has become even more important to find your fitness motivation.
Working out sucks. But it doesn't have too.
You pull on your leggings, tie up your laces, tighten your ponytail, and secure your EarPods. The weather is beautiful, perfect for a run. You head out down your normal route and run a couple of miles with the music pumping in your ears. With a glistening sheen of sweat, you circle back home and head inside to cool down. As you wipe your face with a towel and lie under the fan, you feel strong and energized. The endorphins are racing through your body and you feel empowered, ready to take on the world. You’re tired but you feel proud and content. Maybe you’ve just finished a yoga, barre, or Pilates class. You may have just wrapped up a CrossFit WOD, a weightlifting session, a dance, or a kickboxing class. Maybe you’ve just knocked out a quick HIIT workout or spent 30 minutes on the Stairmaster.
Sometimes life can get us down a bit. We can wake up on a dreary Sunday morning and just not feel ourselves. Of course, it's more realistic to assume that we will not always be 100%, but what are the reasons for this and how can we overcome them? We can buy piles upon piles of self-help books, reading through them for the holistic and all-curing answer to our dread, but sometimes it's not always there. The first major factor in attribution to our mood is the environment. This covers a fairly broad spectrum of factors here, such as the weather, lighting, room temperature, and surrounding noise.
Calisthenics differentiates itself from weight lifting by the effectiveness of losing weight. The amount of energy required and the sheer amount of muscles used makes it the ideal form of strength training to burn calories.
