OMG I’ve discovered TikTok. I have to admit that certain social media outlets I’ve been avoiding like devil holly water, so I don’t end up wasting masses of time on watching shit online. I have too many hobbies to deal with to spend time watching silly videos. I’m not even sure why I downloaded TikTok* but I did. Thankfully I’m finding on it things that interest me and will become useful in certain aspects of my life – as well as the odd Comedy session, Steam Punk Witchery, LoL cats and Chinese Street Fashion (I’m all about 汉语和中国 at the moment).
Among the many completely pointless vids I’ve also discovered all those crazy exercise challenges – nothing too stupid, but definitely something to push the exercise bunnies, and linked to my previous post, few little vids on splits training. There is a danger with these videos, I think, like with a lot of stuff, that a silly audience like myself can take it too far without thinking through what they’re doing. I’d like to think I’m not that person – I take the advice with caution, and I try not to push myself to stupid levels (well, not counting that mad cycling session last year – Buya & My Brain is the Obstacle – and I’ve learned my lesson, the hard way)
By the way – I did mention already – but I’m thinking of rebooking that cycling holiday to Cambodia for 2022 after all – so cue some boring diary updates starting in next few weeks, of how I’ve done loops around Battersea Park again, and again, and again, and again…..and again.
TikTok though – I mean, that’s just a disaster waiting to happen, no? All these unqualified trainers (among the many qualified ones, of course), with their own tips for how to exercise and lose weight. Then again……what am I? Hmmm pot calling kettle black, me thinks.
*no, that’s a lie – I know exactly why I downloaded it, and it has nothing at all with a certain Chinese Drama I’m in love with at the moment and using to practice my mandarin understanding. Nothing at all. Nope. None. Red ribbon.
