All of the"rules" seem like too much. Rest days are ok. Sick days are mandatory for restoring your health. We are under extreme heat advisory so the only safe outdoor activity is swimming, which I don't have easy access to.
Definitely, the guy who invented it is all about yelling and being "extreme" and criticizing everyone who doesn't agree with him so... I've been surprised to see it take off among younger women on TikTok
Jaime, I’ve been on this fitness journey with you for a while now, discovered Caroline through your channel, just passed my one year anniversary of regularly following her TH-cam programs! Two things: appreciated your comment on it being ok to not perfectly follow along in real time if you need extra rest days or are sick, that is too much pressure to stay consistent. Also I hope you will buy yourself more weights! It’s worth it. I’ve invested now in 8,10,12,15,20,25 lbs ! I use them all in Caroline’s workouts when I think how much I save on a gym membership the cost washes out. Love ya!!
Thank you so much!!! It makes me SOOOO happy to hear I’ve been able to be a positive part of your journey ❤️ Yeah I definitely need to get some more weight levels!
For romance books…if you haven’t read Emily Henry, you MUST! 😍 she is so funny and her characters always feel so real. “Book Lovers” and “People We Meet on Vacation” are my favorites but she has a new one out that I’m excited to read soon! A few other random books that were wins for me this year are “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine,” “I Capture the Castle,” “A Fall of Marigolds” (tough read at times but v good), “The Good Sister” and “The Mother in Law” (domestic thriller type books), and “A Gentleman in Moscow.” Happy reading with whatever you choose next! ☺️♥️
I ended up buying a dumbbell rack after a few months with Sydney. The weights on it are 3, 5, 7, 10, 12 and 15kg. It's a pyramid style rack so doesn't take up too much space. It was an excellent purchase because it gave me the chance to increase weights if I wanted to try to.
I agree with your thoughts on 75 hard. There are plenty of other ways to build mental fortitude without punishing and depriving your body. I think your approach is very reasonable, and all the better because it's tailored to suit you and you alone. When you are done with the current Caroline Girvan program, I would love some more content about how your workout weeks look when you are not following a challenge/program. After following weekly or monthly programs by different fitness instructors, I've found that I prefer picking and choosing my own workouts and I'm trying to make sure they are well rounded. Thanks!
Not sure if they'll interest you but here are some books that I loved reading : - Survivor's Guilt by Robyn Gigl, is the second in the series but can be read without the first one as I did since I didn't even though it was part of a book series. - The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell, tells the povs of three different characters, and one is set in the past, all connecting to a mansion. - The Favor by Nora Murphy, is about 2 women who have similar lives but have never met until one decides to learn more about the other. - The Cage by Bonnie Kistler, 2 women go into an elevator together but only one comes out alive with the rest of the story explains how it led up to that point and even afterward. - They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera, pretty sad but written beautifully and totally worth it. - In Five Years by Rebecca Serle, the main character gets to see her life in the future for a bit but then wakes up to present time, involves a lovely friendship. - The Perfect Place to Die by Bryce Moore, a young girl's sister suddenly stops writing and after months, she decides to find out what happened to her sister even though all she ever knew was her homeland. Many suggestions with very brief descriptions so if any sound interesting please look at the actual summary just in case that might intrigue you more.
For sure agree to the no starting over, only a pause for a day or days you for whatever reason can’t complete. Also with the outside workout one if the weather or in this case air doesn’t allow you to be outside than it’s not under your control and that’s not a reason to start over.
to that person who messaged you on insta saying how they felt guilty for resting: i felt the same way. i started one of caroline's programs last november but as the holidays rolled by and a move happened, i only recently started again (maybe around april-ish) and i felt so guilty. but looking back, and after watching a couple of your videos, i've slowly learned that my pause was alright and deserved. thank you for being such a positive role model in our journeys, jaime! ps: i think your fiancee should try pickling an apple, or an onion!
Pickle recommendations for the fiancée: Mushrooms, okra, green beans 😋 Book recommendations for you: 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton The Cherry Robbers by Sarai Walker The Poppy Wars by RF Kaung Anything by Brandon Sanderson (but specifically the Stormlight Archives) Also almost watched your video while hungry, had to pause it and make lunch so I could watch without 🤤 over all of the food. 😅
I’ve given up my heavy weights and just do Bailey browns app Pilates workouts now. My back constantly hurt, my joints, my posture is bad etc. so I definitely feel Pilates is my thing now. ❤
For books, I'm a sucker for Ali Hazelwood. The Love Hypothesis has become one of my favorite books, I reread it at least once a year now! The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston and The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen are also great reads (especially as we're coming up on fall and spooky season!)!! Also have you heard of Kit Rich? She is one of my favorite fitness trainers and her workouts are killers! I definitely recommend checking her out! She's great!! Thanks for another great video, Jaime!!
I didn’t like love hypothesis AHH I’m sorry 😂 I did enjoy dead romantics tho! Thank you for the recs, will def have to check out those spooky ones hehe. And I’ll look up kit rich as well!
@jaimefok Hahaha it's all good!! It's definitely not for everyone! I didn't even know it would be for me, but now I have a whole shelf dedicated to Romance 🤣
im also in a romance phase. I've been reading so many romance novels for the past few years ever since the hating game came out. It's def the tropes that get you sucked in. My current favorite trope is unrequited love where the girl likes a guy, and the guy is oblivious. but i specifically like the ones when the main guy love interest, who's super handsome and popular, under-appreciates the main girl love interest and is like "there's no way i would ever fall for a girl like you (either because they've been in the best friend zone, or that she's not usually the type he goes with)". but later on he eats his words and ends up falling even harder than the girl and has to convince her that he also loves her! the ones that i've read that are kinda like that are Right Move by Liz Tomforde, Huge Deal by Lauren Layne, The Duke and the WallFlower by Jessie Cleaver, Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey, Also, you should invest in adjustable dumbbells 💪.you’ll have the freedom to adjust to weights you feel is appropriate to your workout, rather than limit yourself. For me, I had the same issue where I needed weights in between the ones I already had, but I kept putting off buying them. Plus, I was having to search for heavier dumbbells more often. the heavier the dumbbells, the more expensive they get. I know you can increase the intensity for smaller weights by increasing reps or speed. But I felt like I was stunting my progress in strength without the options. So in the long run, I saved like $100 just from buying the adjustable set. Before the adjustables, I’d never thought I would ever be reaching the 40s lb weights. But every now and then, I would hype myself to a challenge and try to do a rep in the higher weights just to see what I’m capable of. And honestly, it’s so motivating to see that I am progressing in strength and it’s been really great for my confidence.
A Magic Steeped in Poison is a really beautiful book which is a fantasy novel where magic is channelled through the brewing of tea. You have a nice combination of learning a magic craft, political intrigue, family relationships and just what would be stunning set pieces in any visual media which feel sparkling and wonderful
Aww Jaime, I heard you singing after so long, BTW you have a lovely voice. Since it's hot in Canada take care of yourself and your family. Drink lots of water and eat well as you always do 😍 Stay happy and healthy ❤
I am a sucker for what I eat in a week videos, always looking for meal inspo. What type/brand of noodles are those you frequently eat? They look tastier than a few I have tried that were just ok to me
i love watching them too! i've just been trying all kinds of flavours of the buldak brand noodles. recently been loving the yakisoba and the habenaro lime ones!
I can relate about leveling up weights, I just got a 10 lb set. I don't use it all the time but it is really nice to have when you need it! I got the Amazon branded ones, which were cheaper than Target. Here's a whole cornucopia of book recommendations crossing all genres: The Guncle, American Dirt, Local Woman Missing, Run Rose Run, Apples Never Fall, Next Year in Havana, Becoming, and From Scratch. Happy reading :)
I’m loving the reading chat in these vlogs, I’m currently reading the True Love Experiment too!! And you’ve inspired me to reread Harry Potter as well haha, my books recs are two fantasy series - Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas and the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson (or really just all of his books), both are incredible hehe
Book recs! All kind of fluffy and fun, even the mysteries. YA romance - Better than the Movies - Tweet Cute - Today Tonight Tomorrow Mystery - Truly Devious series (also YA) - The Thursday Murder Club Literary fiction - The Sentence by Louise Erdich
I am sick too, just like the person who contacted you on Instagram! We don’t lose our gains, get healthy and continue when your strength is back. Also I hope you are safe from the fires, so sorry your air quality is that bad, it got bad here for a few days but cleared up super fast. 😢
You must read "The Reading List" I. just finished this book a few months ago and was shocked how affected I was by this book. Stay safe!! We are getting some of the smoke here and it is hard to breathe, I cannot imagine being in the actual country on fire.
The Way of Shadows (book one of Night Angel trilogy). ❤ always a silent follower while doing my skin care in the AM (you are such a positive vibe!). Just wanted to suggest a series and say hello!
I’ll usually do at least a week of lower intensity, with lots of stretching and mobility. Then I might just make up my own workout schedules randomly for a bit before jumping onto a new full program. Depends how I’m feeling really!
So a Book I listend to and still think back to today (it was in 2020) was the chemist by the author of twilight and I didn’t know it was her until I looked into other books she had since I liked it so much. Anyway, I loved her writing style but didn’t like twilight but the chemist is top 10 books with me 😂
Book recommendations: Ali Hazelwood the love hypothesis 😊 I would love if one time you can give us advice and tricks on how to drink more water! Cause I struggle a bit with that...
Oooh if you're interested in book recommendations then: (Mainly epic) fantasy: The Way of Kings series The Dandelion Dynasty series The Malazan Book of the Fallen series Cage of Souls The Fifth Season Scifi: Ender's Game+ Ender's Shadow Leviathan falls (some mystery in there too) Gideon the 9th I hope you give some of these a try and thank you for the amazing videos!!
I just finished reading "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin and it was great! I would absolutely recommend! Also, how do you like Beastmode so far? I've really been liking it, it's like a cross between Iron and Fuel.
Nice to see different views of your house just love the whole aesthetic (buzz word), and noticed you have a safe but don't leave it open otherwise Sage might find his way in there for a nap....
All food look yummy! Want to do strength workout so much but my body still in recovery mode - so bored. Do you have youtube vloggers to recommend? Want to see your 75 Jamie video too! Thank you for the video, thoughts, and inspiration as always! Take care❤ Book-> Someone who will love you in all your damaged glory: Raphael Bob-Waksberg Pickle-> carrots, onion, cauliflower & jalapeño
If you like the Fantasy genre of books I highly recommend the Eragon series it's an amazing Dragon rider series that has 4 books in the series along with a short story.
Jamie I am disappointed with Caroline she said she would post on You Tube once in a while and hasn't since she made the app. I really feel everything is just a guide including influencers. Ofcourse you aren't doing a 45 minute workout when your country is on fire please stay safe. As for exercising when sick just listen to your body. I wanted to exercise in 2022 when I had Covid and so grateful to the nurses for convincing me it is fine to rest when sick. I would like you to so STF latest challenge next but I guess it depends what comes up next since it it almost over. I do the best I can with this challenge knowing I am 2 times her age with Arthritis and just because she says to increase my weights it is fine to just do bodyweight and skip the burpees and I am proud of myself for staying moving even if I am marching in place instead of doing burpees.
I’m so proud of you!! definitely health first, and I’m glad to hear you’re staying active while also respecting your body ❤️ STF sounds great as well, perhaps I’ll try a bit after I’m done beastmode!
Seems like you are breezing through this program. I have a question for you, can you start posting your weight amounts for each exercise? I think that would be helpful :) Opps looks like I should have waited a bit lol
Wow- Hope the fires and air quality improves😢 that really sucks😥🤍🙏🏻 some of the 75 Hard rules seem very strict for no reason🤔I like Jaime's 75😊👌🏻🤍 you should rewatch all the Harry Potter movies now that you finished the books! 😄🪄 I never want the Harry Potter magic to end, lol🤭💫
Better help is awful. They took my friends money without even helping. I know someone else too that they were awful to. It’s not just me saying this it’s all over tik tok. Please don’t use them.
i'm so sorry to hear that! i have only had great experiences with BetterHelp - my therapist genuinely helped me through a really rough time last year. could be the therapist assigned wasn't the right match for your friends?
@@jaimefok no the one the she had was awful. Made her feel judged and even cut their therapy short even though she had paid for a full hour. Another person didn’t even have a chance to find one when they took all his money. There are more stories on tik tok. They are not good people.
75 hard DOES NOT SUCK. I don't think you went into it with the correct attitude. Yes 75 hard is set up for you to fail. That is the whole point. It's HARD. and you fail. The point of 75 hard is to start again. Not quit. It's super frustrating listening to you discount this because it's not something you enjoy or want to do. If you do 75 hard and miss a day you DO FAIL. because that's the challenge. That doesn't mean you can't pick up the next day and keep going. It just means you are not doing 75 hard. I can be both and neither. If you want to follow your own version that's great just don't call it 75 hard. It's that simple. Don't discount the people that do do it and follow the rules and finish it. Don't make them feel less than for taking on a challenge they want to do because you don't want to.
That is precisely why I am calling my version “75 soft” or “75 Jaime”. I explained all this in my previous video and also mentioned that this challenge can work for some people. I’m just saying, for the majority of people - something like this isn’t going to work, and may cause more mental harm than good. As someone who grew up in a very intense, competitive and restrictive environment- yes, the original challenge does indeed suck for me. I share my personal journey on my channel here. It’s ok to disagree but it doesn’t mean either of us are right or wrong. It’s just a difference in opinion. I think it sucks, and you don’t. It’s ok!
All of the"rules" seem like too much. Rest days are ok. Sick days are mandatory for restoring your health. We are under extreme heat advisory so the only safe outdoor activity is swimming, which I don't have easy access to.
Totally!
Definitely, the guy who invented it is all about yelling and being "extreme" and criticizing everyone who doesn't agree with him so... I've been surprised to see it take off among younger women on TikTok

Aww thank you! Currently using 22lbs each ❤️
Jaime, in this video you did the workouts from which fitness instructor? Kisses ❤
Caroline Girvan! On her app ❤️
@@jaimefok and which program? The begginner one? 💚😘
@@martarpsmaria beastmode!
@@jaimefok thank you! 🥰🧡
Jamie I am disappointed with Caroline she said she would post on You Tube once in a while and hasn't since she made the app. I really feel everything is just a guide including influencers. Ofcourse you aren't doing a 45 minute workout when your country is on fire please stay safe. As for exercising when sick just listen to your body. I wanted to exercise in 2022 when I had Covid and so grateful to the nurses for convincing me it is fine to rest when sick. I would like you to so STF latest challenge next but I guess it depends what comes up next since it it almost over. I do the best I can with this challenge knowing I am 2 times her age with Arthritis and just because she says to increase my weights it is fine to just do bodyweight and skip the burpees and I am proud of myself for staying moving even if I am marching in place instead of doing burpees.
I’m so proud of you!! definitely health first, and I’m glad to hear you’re staying active while also respecting your body ❤️
STF sounds great as well, perhaps I’ll try a bit after I’m done beastmode!
Seems like you are breezing through this program. I have a question for you, can you start posting your weight amounts for each exercise? I think that would be helpful :) Opps looks like I should have waited a bit lol
Haha for sure! Basically I have 15lbs and 22lbs that I use for most things. Then down to 8lbs when necessary
Wow- Hope the fires and air quality improves😢 that really sucks😥🤍🙏🏻 some of the 75 Hard rules seem very strict for no reason🤔I like Jaime's 75😊👌🏻🤍 you should rewatch all the Harry Potter movies now that you finished the books! 😄🪄 I never want the Harry Potter magic to end, lol🤭💫
It’s definitely gotten better now, thank goodness! Felt terrible trying to go outside for fresh air and then realizing it’s all just smoky outside.
And yes, for sure doing a full movie re-run 😂
Read love, theoretically (the new one from Ali hazelwood). The one on your Tbr, yours truly, is also perfect ❤
Hehe thank you! ❤️
Hii
Me gusta su rutina
Love this. I think you need adjustable dumbbells so that you can have any levels of weight but still save the space 😂
Yeah that’s a good idea!
@@jaimefokI had some and they broke very quickly .
hi omg i love you
ILY 🫶🏻
Pickled eggs. 😅
Ok yes I love these but so scared about homemade ones for some reason 😂
Pickled okra!
Oh yum!!

Better help is awful. They took my friends money without even helping. I know someone else too that they were awful to. It’s not just me saying this it’s all over tik tok. Please don’t use them.
i'm so sorry to hear that! i have only had great experiences with BetterHelp - my therapist genuinely helped me through a really rough time last year. could be the therapist assigned wasn't the right match for your friends?
@@jaimefok no the one the she had was awful. Made her feel judged and even cut their therapy short even though she had paid for a full hour. Another person didn’t even have a chance to find one when they took all his money. There are more stories on tik tok. They are not good people.
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Your hair looks so dead from all that bleaching :(
its actually fine lol, it just looks a bit scraggly after awhile bc I only wash my hair 1-2 times a week.
@@jaimefok If you're not already, make sure you deep condition it when you wash it.
@@LaRochePosay04 don’t worry about me, I do it all
75 hard DOES NOT SUCK. I don't think you went into it with the correct attitude. Yes 75 hard is set up for you to fail. That is the whole point. It's HARD. and you fail. The point of 75 hard is to start again. Not quit. It's super frustrating listening to you discount this because it's not something you enjoy or want to do. If you do 75 hard and miss a day you DO FAIL. because that's the challenge. That doesn't mean you can't pick up the next day and keep going. It just means you are not doing 75 hard. I can be both and neither. If you want to follow your own version that's great just don't call it 75 hard. It's that simple. Don't discount the people that do do it and follow the rules and finish it. Don't make them feel less than for taking on a challenge they want to do because you don't want to.
That is precisely why I am calling my version “75 soft” or “75 Jaime”. I explained all this in my previous video and also mentioned that this challenge can work for some people.
I’m just saying, for the majority of people - something like this isn’t going to work, and may cause more mental harm than good.
As someone who grew up in a very intense, competitive and restrictive environment- yes, the original challenge does indeed suck for me.
I share my personal journey on my channel here. It’s ok to disagree but it doesn’t mean either of us are right or wrong. It’s just a difference in opinion. I think it sucks, and you don’t. It’s ok!
