For budding fitness enthusiasts like Melanie Liao, 18, the circuit breaker was a blessing in disguise, providing her with ample free time to begin chronicling her fitness journey and routine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSince the circuit breaker started and my part-time job was temporarily [put] on hold, I actually have a lot of time on my hands to exercise every day,\u201d Melanie said.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an announcement to Singaporeans on Apr 3, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong set in motion the circuit breaker from Apr 7 to Jun 1, advising Singaporeans to stay home to contain the spread of Covid-19.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As youths were cooped up at home during the trying time, a new wave of fitness trends, routines and challenges began to emerge on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m following the workout programmes by one of the fitness YouTubers called Chloe Ting, and she designs these workout programmes for people to follow for free,\u201d Melanie shared.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m following the workout programmes by one of the fitness YouTubers called Chloe Ting, and she designs these workout programmes for people to follow for free.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Libre Caslon Text||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Raleway|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_6_font=”Raleway|700||on|||||” header_6_font_size=”16px” header_6_letter_spacing=”5px” header_6_line_height=”1.8em” max_width=”1320px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|-415px|10px|-616px||” custom_padding=”|0px||0px||” header_2_font_size_tablet=”35px” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Chloe Ting\u2019s Two Weeks Shred Challenge was one of the most popular routines that youths adopted, documenting time-lapses of their high intensity workouts coupled with their progress on their Instagram stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day, she has a schedule of certain exercises to do depending on the areas of
the body that you want to target [and] tone up,\u201d Melanie added.<\/p>\n

However, the circuit breaker threw a spanner in the works for many regular gym-goers as their regular routines were disrupted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taha Zameel, 19, an active gym-goer who has been powerlifting for over two years, had to alter his fitness plans as he had no access to his usual equipment during the entirety of the quarantine period.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSince the gym is closed, I do calisthenics [and] bodyweight exercises such as push-ups and pull-ups,\u201d Taha said, adding that the circuit breaker was a period of stagnation and maintenance for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese home workout routines are more or less just there to make sure that I keep in shape and don\u2019t go downhill in terms of my physique,\u201d he elaborated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides gymnasiums, fitness studios were also temporarily suspended in compliance with the strict circuit breaker measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consequently, spin instructor Ethel Francine Tan, 26, had to hunker down at home instead of mounting her trusty stationary bicycle and teaching her regular spin classes at Ground Zero<\/a>, a boutique fitness studio in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Libre Caslon Text||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” header_3_font=”Montserrat|600||||||#e02b20|” header_3_text_align=”left” header_3_text_color=”#233956″ header_3_font_size=”24px” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was difficult initially, I was pretty worried about how my stamina will be like once Ground Zero starts operations again,\u201d said Ms Tan, who has been a spin instructor for over a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, she allayed her own fears about the stay-home period by taking practical steps instead of lamenting about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to embrace this circuit breaker instead, taking this time to give my ears a break [and] just enjoy acoustic music,\u201d explained Ms Tan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ms Tan also commended youths who grasped the opportunity to begin exercising and following exercise routines during the circuit breaker, sharing tips on how they can maintain a healthy lifestyle even when measures are eased and youths are flooded with their daily commitments again.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI always believe that one will make time for things that are important,\u201d stated Ms Tan. \u201cSometimes just squeezing in a 30-minute run from your busy schedule can help you not only maintain a healthy lifestyle, but also relieve some stress.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Melanie agreed: \u201cWhile the results are not as prominent yet physically, I do think [exercising] has had a positive impact on my mental health and I feel stronger and less lethargic every day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As someone who began to be health-conscious only during her polytechnic years, Ms Tan gave this piece of advice to youths: \u201cI realised that it is important that you know the true reason why you\u2019re working out in the first place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

She added: \u201cOnce you\u2019ve internalised that reason or purpose for working out,\u00a0you always have to stay rooted to it and bring yourself back to why you started in the first place and how that makes you feel whenever you feel like giving up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
