- Hey, guys
my name is Kayline and I'm trying
the 100 ab challenge.
So by day I'm usually working behind the scenes
here at BuzzFeed as a production coordinator.
But in my free time, I'm known as thekleanfitt
on Instagram and hopefully YouTube.
I'm low key a fitness YouTuber junkie
so I actually came upon
this one YouTuber named Blogilates,
her actual name is Cassey Ho.
So, she does a million 30 day challenges.
Like, she does an abs one, she does a glutes one,
she does a legs one, and arms.
Like, she has so many and I happened to choose abs
'cause that is actually my favorite
part of the body to work.
I'm doing this challenge because my word of the year
for 2020 is consistency.
I feel like that's one thing that I'm not really
good at doing.
I'm not consistent in a lot of the things I do,
especially my workout.
I actually have tried a couple challenges
and its not that it didn't work, okay.
It was that I didn't work.
I was not consistent.
My lifestyle requires me to have
a pretty healthy diet already.
So, I won't be changing my diet, per se,
but I do know for sure that I am taking dairy out
because, I'm not going to lie to you,
I think I'm lactose intolerant.
I haven't gone to the doctor for it yet.
Who knows?
But, I do get the bubble guts and I get bloated.
That is a thing, its nasty.
So, I really wanna work on making sure
that my abs become toned in doing this challenge.
And I just feel like if I'm going to do 100 abs
for 30 days, then I'm starting my year off right.
They say summer bodies are made in the winter!
So, that's what we gonna do.
(upbeat music)
You know, day one we started off pretty smooth.
Like, we started with the 100s and honestly,
it was a lot more arm work than anything.
So, I didn't really feel it.
Like, I genuinely was like, "Oh, this finna
"be a breeze, like, okay whatever, cool."
Then, we got to day two.
(alarm clock ringing)
I think it was the cross crunch kick
and after 50 I felt it.
I was like, "Oh! Okay Blogilates,
"you're really trying it."
Like, you wanna fight.
(groans)
It didn't take me long to realize
that I would have to do these workouts in sets.
I was not doing 100 full out,
like, it was just not happening.
So I did, like, sets of four,
sets of two.
They never said that you couldn't do sets.
So, I still did it.
All right, let's do it.
(upbeat music)
Maybe I'm just still a little drunk.
So by day 10 they started hitting
some of my favorite workouts
which was perfect for me.
It was, like, planks and hip twists
and I'm used to that.
I've been doing that through my ab routine,
through my fitness journey for a minute.
So, like, around that time, day 10 to 15,
I was chilling a little bit.
But then, day 15 hit and like,
I never heard of some of these workouts in my life.
Like, some of them were having me defy gravity
like, what the hell is star abs?
(upbeat music)
I took so many pauses within my workouts.
Like, I didn't even do sets.
I did, like, one, pause.
What?
Let me remind you that this is during holiday season, right.
So I have Christmas,
I have moving 'cause I was also moving at this time.
And then, I got these workouts.
These ab challenges were not letting up,
they were actually getting harder.
(dramatic music)
Luckily for me, because it was the holiday season,
I was around family, I was around friends.
What is all this hair?
What is this?
And just people who were actually like,
"I wanna join," which was super exciting for me.
- You aren't getting your full core.
- Yes you are.
- Well if you lean back you can.
- Go away!
Are you even going in a circle?
I don't--
- Yeah, oh (beep).
- I had my aunties join,
I had my brothers join, it was great.
So, that was amazing and by day 30 I felt--
I was just so happy.
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
(drum roll)
(singing)
(laughs)
You know, like, this is good for me.
Before versus now, like, obviously there is always
room for improvement.
But, this for me, this is a good result
for a month worth of abs.
So, I would say that this challenge was hard
but it wasn't impossible.
It actually pushed me to see what my limits were
and what it is that I could do and what I couldn't do.
And, in that sense, know I know better
and now I'm better for it
in terms of, like, my fitness journey,
as a person, like, I'm so happy
that I actually did this
and I actually kinda want to do another challenge now.
I definitely would recommend this challenge,
I give it a 10 out of 10 for sure.
For me, it definitely set the tone for the rest of my year
which is super dope.
And I hope that I'm consistent in everything that I do
for the rest of 2020.
