Chloe Ting is sharing a motivational message with her followers – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness model and influencer shows off her fit figure in a two-piece workout set while sharing some inspiring before-and-after images of her clients. “When you're on a fitness journey, sometimes you might get demotivated, especially when life/work/stress gets in the way. It's hard to stay focus on your journey without getting overwhelmed. A gentle reminder that you're doing OK! Be kind to yourself and don't feel guilty. You're trying and doing your best and that's what matters. Remember that results take time and focus on doing what you can each day. So super proud of these girls and they did an amazing job with their journey. I'm sure they had their struggles too, and it took them time. You'll reach your goals in time as well and remember that you're not alone!” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach exercise? Here are her top fitness tips.
1. Make “Small, Incremental Changes”
Starting on a fitness plan, “can be very overwhelming as there are things to consider such as your diet, your form, your consistency,” says Ting. She recommends that beginners start by changing their mindset. “You need to be committed to this and be able to identify what is possible for you today and what is your limit. Some people go cold turkey and jump on a diet or start intense exercises, and there’s no sustainability with that. Start small, make incremental changes, and build strength over time and it’s all a gradual process,” she tells Her World.
2. Exercise for Mental Health
Chloe wasn’t in a good place mentally when she discovered fitness. “I suffered from panic attacks and anxiety, and also had a history of being bullied at work so I ended up taking a break from work,” she told Her World. “With more time to spend on self-care, I gained an interest in fitness and I was just drawn to getting myself physically stronger. This then had a huge positive impact on my mental health. Besides that, I’ve also suffered from gut-related health issues, which have impacted my quality of life, but thankfully I’m in a better place now, both mentally and physically, and using my platform to spread positivity and self-love.”
3. Find Ways to Motivate Yourself
Find ways to motivate yourself, Chloe suggests. “It’s become a routine for me to work out in the morning, and checking that off early in the day makes me feel accomplished as I move on to my next task of the day,” Chloe adds. “I think everyone’s strategy to stay motivated is a little different. You have to identify what would work for you and give yourself time to build up that familiarity in your schedule so that it becomes a natural routine.”
4. Get Your Steps In
Chloe is a big advocate of walking. “Waited a year for this! So glad to walk around the lake with 9,572,480 people..and oh the flowers were beautiful! 🩷🌸Where are the best spots to see cherry blossoms in South Korea?! This one was pretty breathtaking!” she captioned a post.
5. Lift Weights
Weightlifting is a key part of Chloe’s routine, with dumbbells at the core of it. “Dumbbells would be quite useful for this challenge. If your goal is to grow some muscles then it will be necessary to make each week more challenging, and also eating more to fuel muscle growth. If you're new to working out, then you can do this program without dumbbells first, and progress to add some weights if you wish to!” says Chloe in a video.
