In the midst of it all, I learned to enjoy what I was doing. Other times, I would come home exhausted from errands or a long shift at work, and still forced myself to sit down and take the time to workout. I’m not much of a morning person so doing that alone was proof to myself of how seriously I was taking this challenge. I woke up extra early on some days before the sunrise, just to make sure I got my workout in before work. Throughout the past few weeks, I’ve really tested myself. As I write this, I prepare to do my final workout of this video challenge. I finished the workout, but in the back of my head thought, “Am I really going to keep this up for 21 days?” I could barely do some of the moves, and I had to pause the videos a few times to let my muscles relax and breathing return to normal. Geared up and ready to prove to myself that I could do this, that I could exercise for 21-days straight, I grabbed my yoga mat (that was new for months and still hadn’t been used yet!) and set to work.ĭay 1 was rough. I had done her quick 6-minute arm workout videos in the past and knew that they would be the perfect addition to this challenge, as I also wanted to tone my arms and gain some muscle. To supplement it, I also found an arm workout by a popular pilates blogger who goes by the name “blogilates” on YouTube. One of the first ones to pop up was “The Ultimate PIlates 21 Day Challenge / Define Your Abs & Booty” by the YouTuber “Boho Beautiful.” Thinking, ‘hey, I could use a little more overall muscle to my abs and booty,’ I read through what the challenge entailed and accepted it. Unsure of what all that entailed, I searched for videos on YouTube.

Numerous friends had told me that they do pilates as their workout.

I need people to show me how to do the workout, but being a 22-year old who doesn’t have the income to pay for a personal trainer, I turned to YouTube. I had been wanting to get back into working out, but have trouble going to the gym because I feel like I never fully understand how the equipment works or how best to lift weights in a manner that won’t injure myself. This time, though, I wanted things to be different. Saying I’ll stick to them, however – that’s something that I always get behind. Sticking to an exercise regimen has never been one of my specialities.
