Quarantine workouts: Chloe Ting shaping our lives and abs

By Alani Kanan, Staff Writer

During quarantine, people all over the country have been deprived of access to a gym. Instead, they have been forced to improvise, and Chloe Ting has become one way to stay in shape. Chloe Ting’s youtube channel has a multitude of different workout videos equipped for anyone to try out!

“Do this workout every day to lose weight” 

The most popular video from Chloe Ting is a total of 14 minutes with three sets of seven different exercises. In this workout, there is a variety of abdominal, leg and cardio exercises, from planks to burpees to lateral lunges, among many others. The workout succeeds at engaging all muscle groups but lacks intensity. Thus, in contrast to its title “Do this workout every day to lose weight,” you probably will not lose a significant amount of weight by only doing this workout. I recommend this quick full-body workout to less advanced athletes.

“Get Abs in 2 Weeks”

With over 275 million views, the “Get Abs in 2 Weeks,” workout video is all about building abdominal strength. This diverse workout targets the lower abs, upper abs and even obliques, with different forms of planks and crunches. This title is a bit misleading though since everyone’s body shows results differently and not everyone has a low enough body mass to achieve abs this quickly. However, if this abdominal workout is done regularly, you will see results. Overall, this workout is recommended for those who want to come closer to achieving their goal of peak core strength. 

“Leg & Booty Workout”

A newer released Chloe Ting video is a 13-minute workout, containing 17 different lower body exercises. In this video, there is a wide variety of lunges, squats and other exercises all geared towards building more muscle. The workout did a great job incorporating all strength levels. Those who are more advanced are encouraged to use a resistance band, which will make the workout more challenging. All in all, this video is recommended for anyone wanting a good, challenging lower body workout.

“10 Mins Toned Arms Workout” 

A well-liked arm workout by Chloe Ting is the “10 Mins Toned Arms Workout.” This fast-paced 14-exercise workout has all different kinds of upper body exercises, which are great for building muscles. Another benefit of this workout is it can be done in a small space and without weights. All you need is yourself! If people want to intensify this workout, weights can be incorporated, which is great for those who are more advanced. Overall, this workout is a great one to try out!
