Many of you liked my workout routine more than I thought…♥️
So here goes part 2!
[Hip abduction] 10 reps x 5 sets
This exercise helps to stimulates the muscle called mesogluteus
It’s popular for fixing hip dips, and rounder butt so it's quite recommended!
You can really feel it
You can really feel it and it's quite painful but it feels great afterward
Doing my muscle Mukbang(?)
[Dumbbell lunge] 10 reps x 5 sets Another lower-body workout
Knees should go down right before they touch the ground!
Upper body should stay straight, lowering vertically
(Torturous) Leg days are the toughest.. TT
Why is it so hard today?
(My instructor seems warm-hearted but he is cool-headed) This exercise is supposed to be hard ^_^
Sweet break time…♥️
(Looking savage)
[Shoulder press] 10 reps x 5 sets It's important to keep your arms vertical without spreading them out!
[Side lateral raise] 10 reps x 5 sets These dumbbell exercises will help make my shoulders pretty
For that straight shoulders…!
[Chest press] 10 reps x 5 sets Chest press is a nice chest exercise
And it helps to fix rounded shoulders
Cardio is a must after weight training!
It’s nothing much, but I’ll share this cardio routine later♥️
Workout done today♥️
What’s for dinner today?
So I bought this
Cleanse detox juice yesterday
‘Minus juice’ It’s one of the signature green juices from the store named ‘My juice’
Among their bunch of combinations, this one is
Apple celery pineapple
I chose XL among the various size options
I won’t drink all of it today
(I recommend it for a light meal!) I bought a big one to have about 1/3 as dinner
I eat what I want as a regular meal only for lunch
And eat lightly for the other meal~
Hi guys
So people around me, my friends are saying
That I look like I lost a lot of weight
I actually weigh
3-4kg less than a year ago!
So I thought carefully about why people have been
saying that I look like I lost a lot of weight
There are many reasons but
First of all,
I have been consistently working out harder than usual
For a while… Not long but for the last 2-3 months?
I did work out before as well, but
It was more of a repetitive cycle of going to the gym and not going
So it never really lasted for long
But these days, starting this summer, I go to the gym 2-3 times a week
I go to the gym at least two or three times, and up to four or five times per week.
I try to do cardio almost every day
There might not be a significant change in weight
But there was noticeable difference in terms of facial puffiness and body silhouette
Q. What is your typical cardio routine?
I didn't really have a cardio routine, but these days
At my gym, there is a machine that is different from a stepper, it's a bit different
(The Machine is called My Mountain!) There are predefined courses like when hiking
(Definitely feels different from the treadmill)
So, for example, I use it on the High setting,
And High is the highest intensity setting available
There are about 10 different levels in High mode
I only stick to courses 1-2
(It's actually harder than it looks)
When I set it on course 2..
(As for course 2) Takes 15 minutes, burns 185kcal
At first you walk slowly on a flat surface..
Interval format of running, alternating between different speeds
I sometimes increase the incline to (where the slope is) almost 50
(Suddenly hiking) So it's like climbing on the rocks
One set lasts 15 minutes
I do the 15-minute set three times!
I didn't do this since before, but only nowadays
Around September and October, I did this religiously
As a result, my face became less puffy..
My eyes seem to have gotten bigger.. lol
(Satisfied every morning) It was a wise decision to exercise these days, it being so worthwhile
When I see these results, I go to the gym the next day even if I'm tired
Creation of a positive cycle!
Losing weight consists of 90% of diet and 10% of exercise?!
When you look at the diet regimen of people who stay super fit
It's like one apple in the morning.. chicken breast.. two eggs..
Of course, this is very effective in the short term
But for me, I'm not doing this for a specific goal
Consistently and for the rest of my life!
(Taking care of your health is a lifelong task..) Taking care of myself is the goal
Maintaining a diet I can sustain for the rest of my life!
When your body is exhausted, it's natural to get irritable and sensitive
Then at times you suddenly give in to binge eating
(Everyone probably has similar experience)
You feel low on energy, and everyday life becomes quite challenging
What is Jiyeon's diet regimen these days?
This is it
I didn't like eating chicken breasts so much
Because they smell kind of gamey
They don't quite suit my taste
But this Heodak chicken breast!
This is not sponsored
I tried this and it doesn't smell, and it's so good
I find this steamed chicken breast slice in original flavor so delicious
Hehehe
Drizzle some olive oil on the frying pan and saute it
Sprinkle some pepper, I personally love pepper
After sauteing, use some side dishes in your house
Bean sprouts, whatever side dish you have on hand
Even avocados. It does not have to be like just salad
I eat chicken breasts, a bit of rice, and a side dish
But of course, you do not lose weight dramatically when you eat like this
Because you eat rice, and there is salt in the side dish
Now, doing this for about 2-3 weeks, I gain muscle mass much easier
They say that checking your body with your eyes is important
Same clothes, different silhouette!
And when I eat like this, my face does not puff up the next day
The diet I used to follow
consisted of a lot of salty food like soup and stew!
I have always been a fan of Yukgaejang(Korean meat soup) and stuff
So I really liked rice, Yukgaejang, and Kimchi Jjigae(Kimchi stew)
(High sodium OUT!) I stopped eating those stews altogether
Even if I did not eat just eat salad and stuff
I could feel myself changing little by little
I think it is much better to have a diet that you can maintain everyday
I think that is much more efficient
I have tried eating just one sweet potato and all those stuff
(I can laugh now, I was a diet newbie) But then I felt myself getting anemic as I was walking
So I decided, even if it takes a bit of time, to 3-4 months and see what happens
I decided to combine it with exercise and keep it going
Definitely was a stress reliever!
If I felt really hungry but I had to work or get something done,
Some days are just too hard not to give in, to be honest
I thought, I would just eat and exercise harder!
Other days, when I could stop myself and decided to eat something healthier,
And looked for something else to snack on,
I ate this balance meal that I introduced once before
I really like this
You add water to this
It tastes great and is also filling!
It comes in sweet potato flavor as well
(Cannot go wrong with chocolate) I also like the chocolate flavored one
If you decided to quit snacks altogether..?
This is a glucose candy
There were a bunch of brands that sold glucose candies on Coupang,
(I just bought the one that looked cute)
Let me open it up and show you
It looks just like Mentos
Several of them are inside, and this is what a single one looks like
If you are low on sugar and feeling dizzy
And you can't grab something to eat you can use this as an emergency method
Q. What do you do when you have plans?
(Eating at a delicious salad house is one way!) You cannot stick to this diet every single day
You have friends to meet and appointments to attend
When I go out and eat, say, some pork belly
Then, even if I eat
I don't eat a lot
Not all of it, but a third of it?
I reduce my portion a bit and
And the day after, because I did eat something,
If I am still feeling heavy,
The next day, I have breakfast and lunch a little late, around four, and eat just these two meals
(And burn it with some cardio!) And barely eat dinner
Q. Biggest changes since sticking with your lifestyle?
First of all, every day I check my face and body with my eyes
It feels great
I feel confident
And want to try out various clothes
My somehow energized self,
that I think is the big part
Increased stamina is a bonus!
I used to have minor illnesses in the past
(Just being tired all the time) Like having a cold, body ache, headache, and having no energy
But since I have been working out and making changes in my diet,
All those minor illnesses went away
One month of having a healthy lifestyle
Right now, it may seem like there are no big changes
But after one or two months
I think that something would drastically change
These days, when I touch this area
It could sound funny because I am just a newbie lol
But it is very firm
(A newbie's confidence) It is like a rock right here
So sometimes I worry that my shoulders might get too big lol
What if I get bowling ball shoulders?
(Our worrisome gym member..♥) My trainer told me that it will never happen with this much...
I recently had my body composition measured using an InBody machine
Compared to before starting to work out,
my skeletal muscle mass increased by 0.8 kilograms!
Because my body is not going to be perfect immediately,
For about three months, I want to build my skeletal muscle mass a bit more
And cut my body fat in half
I am going to try my best, while not overdoing it!
I think I can do it with this diet
Dieting, a problem for many
If you want to lose weight and eliminate all flab,
Not eating does actually work
But this method does not last long
And unless it's part of your job, it is hard to maintain it too
So rather than those methods, it is better to take some time,
Eat a little bit of what you want, while working out,
(I really wanted to tell you this..♥) And then one day, you will be noticeably different
Don't rush yourself to achieve it quickly in like, one or two months
I think it is better to have the idea that you are sticking to it
Let's be healthy together♥
