However, I didn’t see or consider this fact when watching these challenge vlog videos instead, I was conditioned to believe that the exercise program itself would lead to shocking results.

In fact, it’s commonly supported by dietitians that weight loss is roughly 80% diet and only 20% exercise. I’m no health expert, but I’m willing to bet that those who had the most shocking results also had to undergo major adjustments in their diets. Progress videos depicted participants completing the workouts, but the majority of them didn’t show the behind-the-scenes of what they ate. The truth is, it’s not really feasible to achieve any real, visible change in such a short period of time without a drastic change in diet as well. Yet, the very concept of a two-week “shred” program along with the myriad of progress videos and pictures that depicted “success,” whatever that means, gave me the false impression that I should have expected the same, even after just one week. Looking back, of course, how could I have seen any results? After just one week of physical exercise for less than an hour every day, it was truly ludicrous to have expected any kind of change.

I started thinking that a “healthy” lifestyle just wasn’t for me, that working out wasn’t worth my time. But just over halfway through the program, I was already feeling discouraged as I was seeing no results. Motivation definitely peaked during the first couple of days. Despite the daunting idea of physical exercise, we were excited to see our own results - after all, it was just suffering for two weeks. We had seen the numerous progress pictures and Chloe Ting’s own reaction videos to successful results from her challenges. My friend and I decided it was time to put an end to our perpetually sedentary lifestyle that had hitherto defined our quarantine experience, and we pledged to complete the workout challenge together. Especially as summer rolls along, and in spite of many beaches being closed, a common goal for many has been to finally achieve their “body goals.” And what better way to start than with Chloe Ting’s renowned “2 Weeks Shred Challenge”?

Along with this abnormal amount of free time also comes the pressure to be productive and emerge from the pandemic a better person - perhaps one who has mastered a new language or maybe even improved their culinary skills beyond cooking instant noodles.

With quarantine keeping us confined to our houses and summer break providing a breather from academics, many of us are left with an abundance of leisure.
