One explicit message to the “women” had me significantly fired up.
Whereas my video spotlight doesn’t present it, I suffered a number of occasions all through the week. I closed my eyes and grit my enamel throughout the row, My coronary heart fee rose, I ended to relaxation, and my knees struggled throughout my body weight exercise. I failed reps with the barbell. In that approach, my video spotlight is very like TikTok itself. Largely edited (and at occasions sped as much as match a time restrict) to point out the perfect of ourselves.
Exaggerated outcomes appeared to even be the theme the King of TikTok health hashtags – #abschallenge. With greater than 1 billion views it appears many people are trying to find rock exhausting abs in 30 days, or the last word train for a six-pack.
What drew me in with fiery willpower, nonetheless, was the relatively smug, misogynistic problem of “women, can you retain up?”
Whereas this consumer apparently has a YouTube channel with longer challenges, I used to be right here for TikTok, so I’m completely satisfied to report this girl did handle to maintain up with my smug pal, regardless of my apparent coordination points.
And, even with the laughs, the achy muscle tissue and the stark reminder I must get again to an honest health routine, I’m more than pleased to retire the TikTok movies for a extra constant, much less demoralising regime.
However no less than I averted pressing care.
