Just downloaded this app! I used to do Chloe’s workouts back during covid, but fell off pretty quickly. Since 2021 I’ve been doing aerial arts. I actually had an accident back in 2019 and fractured my spine without knowing. I’m now suffering the consequences lol. Did PT back in 2022 and since then have discovered how detrimental keeping a strong core is, that’s the only thing that keeps my spine in place and the sciatica pain at bay.
Flash forward 5 years and I’m still doing aerial and I feel I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. Over the summer I was doing weighted workouts. After speaking to an orthopedic surgeon I found lifting weights is a no go for my spine since it compresses it even more.
Therefore, I’ve started back on Chloe’s workouts! I didn’t realize how much of a community she has built here, and I really appreciate so much that these workouts and app are free. I’m starting the 2026 summer shred program, my goal is to be able to gain strength and go for a calisthenics type rather than a weight lifting thing. I really appreciate that she has low impact excersises as an alternative option.
Anyways, I really look forward to starting this fitness journey! I’ve been having issues staying consistent so I hope this helps me lol
If anyone has other program recommendations let me know! Strong core is top priority but my hip flexors and glutes need a lot of work as well. I’ve been slacking hardcore on the legs 😬
