 Hi guys, it's Alex. Welcome back to my channel. Today's video is also going to be kind of a different video because it's gonna be obviously sit down and talking with you guys but it is about my fitness journey. I really want to start being more fit and I'm gonna be in two weddings so I need to you know look kind of good so I am doing Chloe Ting's workouts and I really want to maybe do weekly updates kind of like this one because I started on I'm looking at my phone here I started on January 17th and I will put my January 17th photos on the screen so you guys can see them and these were what I looked like I don't like the back fat I kind of had a fat roll and my legs just weren't toned and also like on my lower back kind of where like your stomach kind of can pull if you're bigger I kind of got stretch marks and I'm like I am way too young to be having that so basically I started January 17th and I did Chloe Ting's workout I did separate one so I didn't do a 30 minute or 15 minute one or 45 minute one I did abs legs arms and back that was the very first one I tackled and then they were separate videos so it wasn't just one video if you guys want to see the workouts I currently do I will leave a link to the playlist I use down below and I kind of just set this up for myself so I have workouts and everything ready to go and then I found there's a 15 minute one and a 30 minute and a 45 minute workout and it's like a full body burn fat workout and I started doing those instead of the individual ones just because I wanted to lose some weight and that's not weight I should say I just wanted to gain more muscle and get tone because muscle does weigh more than fat and I have a lot of muscle especially when I workout so I started doing the full body workouts whether it be the 15 45 or 30 minute ones and I did that all week except for two days I did the workouts Friday Saturday Sunday Monday and then not Tuesday I did it Wednesday and Thursday and Friday no not Thursday not Thursday and not Tuesday so when I had something to do like I had my friends engagement photos I just did the 15 minute one but it's still getting a workout in so I kind of include that in there as long as like I'm doing workouts also let me know down below if you would like to see me doing the workouts each day I could do little time lapses on my phone or just anything like that sometimes I find that workout videos when you do a time lapse or whatever it's kind of useless I like watching videos that people are actually doing it in real time that's why I love Chloe Ting's workout programs because I can work out with her and she's really motivating and everything so if you guys want me to put a few little clips in to show my progress then comment down below and let me know just because I don't want to bore you guys I don't know I don't want to put something in that's like a useless I think it'll build the story better and like you can see me workout but it also this first week super embarrassing because I just don't have good form and everything and I couldn't really like get through the workouts as well so maybe starting the second week I'll have more confidence that workouts are getting easier because I've been pretty consistent I will tell you I have not been eating the best I could eat healthier like cut out more carbs but I did have Doritos I had sour cream onion dip and chips and I do have pretzels and I have veggie sticks so those are like the really really bad foods that I've had I'm not also eating stellar like a stellar person I am kind of just working out and then kind of rewarding myself I do want to work on not eating those foods I was really good at moderation and everything but I kind of gave up because I started working out and then I'm like I want to reward so mentally I'm like okay I need to just start transitioning it's not the end of the world if I have a little something because I am working out now and these are some intense exercises so moving on this is after a week I will put my photos here so you can see them and honestly I can already feel a difference in my body it may not look like it in the pictures but definitely I feel it and I just feel a lot better and more strong and yeah you can see my little line I have this like fat roll that's like above my bigger fat roll so that is getting smaller and then my back fat roll is getting a lot smaller and that's only one week so like if I keep pushing and keep working out almost every day then I can guarantee there's probably gonna be a lot of results what inspired me to do this challenge per se is because I saw Chloe Ting's workouts being done and people showing their results and I was like wow that's amazing I can do that because I'm pretty strong I've always been physically active until I stopped dancing and then you know all of that stuff and I was like I could do this so that's why I'm gonna make a video and probably do my journey weekly as well I also got inspired to do this because Amanda 3 1409 one of my favorite youtubers I've been watching her since probably 2013 and she had a complete 180 lifestyle change and she said that she was doing Chloe Ting's workouts and I was like okay and I had done Chloe Ting's workouts a while ago I think it's probably been a couple years but I didn't really like complete the programs or anything I didn't really like take it seriously and I check out Chloe's channel now and man she has so much stuff and so many resources out there to help people get fit and everything so that's another reason why I started because I got inspired by someone I watch online there's a plane to go along with my weight loss journey I got a little package here I ordered myself a workout set off amazon this was like 30 bucks so I just decided to get this there's so many like expensive workout stuff I'm waiting to see how much Karen's sets are for her kick-ass thing brand but if they're like over 50 dollars then I probably won't get it because I think that's way too much to spend on just like workout clothes even though when I started to like feel more confident I might want to start wearing like workout clothes for you know running it out to errands and stuff like kind of how other people do it I don't really know what I'm saying I got the purple ones I will try this on in my next video because tomorrow I'm gonna work out and you'll just have to stay tuned and see but here are the leggings I got the medium this is what I don't like about ordering online like I don't know if it's gonna fit but I think this will fit it seems pretty stretchy and stuff and everything I think the holes in this are kind of weird but it's okay we shall see yeah it looks like it'll fit hopefully my button thighs aren't that big and hopefully they'll fit and then this is the top I got I think this is adorable I think this will fit me it might be a little tight but we shall see and I love how it's like padded here too because my other sports bra my black one that I normally wear is not padded oh and you can take out the pads as well there's a little hole right there you can take out the pads but I think I'll keep the pads in there I don't know if you guys want to join along this journey with me I would be really happy if you did it's really hard I was thinking about maybe going live on Instagram sometimes like while I do the workouts so let me know if you want that as well I don't know I want to kind of just document my journey have you guys come along with me so I think that is about it for week one update and why I'm doing it and everything like that if you guys enjoyed this video give it a thumbs up also if you've tried the workouts leave a comment down below telling me how they worked out for you because I would love to know and I guess I'll see you guys in my next video bye
