Time flies.
Four weeks had passed and the first month of the Tempo Challenge was over. It may sound literally like a challenge but it is a call for lifestyle change especially to everyone of us working from home. We tend to neglect getting fit and we are all being fond of soaking ourselves up facing the computer all day long finishing all our tasks. We all need to work hard but we also need to grind our bodies for our health and fitness.
In the day 1 of our Fitness Challenge, I started my day thinking of the best motivation so it would give me the drive to keep going. In that morning, I meditated. It turned out that the reason why I would like to make this fitness challenge taken seriously wasn’t just about me, but also my family.
I realized that I have to be healthy to be able to work. I have to provide and support them with their needs. I would like to earn their trust so that they can rely on me. Most importantly, I don't want them to get worried about my health either.
It turned out to be a great motivation. So, I worked harder to keep fit in the rest of the days. However, everyday wasn’t as smooth sailing as it could be. There were days that I felt tempted to eat sumptuous meals. Hence, the most challenging was to become consistent with this fitness challenge. Good thing, I survived it by doing the videos. Vlogging forced me to do the exercise everyday so that I can produce an output for everyone to see. It also showed that I am a man of my words, I made sure that I do everything that I promise.
After all, the best learning I had during the challenge was my realization of not needing strength training too much but having more consistency with my exercise daily. Having an exercise everyday gave me better sleep and better mood. Also, it gave me an idea that I can attain my fitness goals even working out at home. It also challenged me to do the Calisthenics. Thus, I will continue to do more home exercise and will make sure to vlog it.
Moreover, when it comes to my diet, my main goal is to consume lesser rice and more protein to attain smaller tummy.
So, I really hope that our Tempo tribe can do more fitness challenges soon to maintain the idea of challenging ourselves to have the best shape of health. Challenges like attaining 8000-10000 Steps a day is something we can do as well. In the end, any fitness or workout routine will be all fine because consistency is always the key!
