Top 5 Female K-Idols And Their Ultimate Workout Routines

Across Pinterest and TikTok, there has been rising popularity for idol workouts. This may be because of growing interest to advocate for one’s health or maybe exercising is just better with inspiration from our biases. Whether it is to have healthy bodies for their line of work or personal preference of living a better lifestyle, there is no doubt that K-Idols have shown their fierce passion to stay in tip top shape. 

The workouts range from pilates to weight training, the variation is endless. Many of them have even shown their progress via Korean TV shows such as “I Live Alone” and “Omniscient Interfering View”. They also enjoy sharing the bits of their life through vlogs on their group’s official YouTube channel.

YuNa has recently launched her personal YouTube channel where she shows her personal and creative outputs.

– Toe touch side stretch

– Jump in place with alternating feet direction for 30 seconds

– Light jog

– Knee tuck crunch 15 repetitions x 3 sets
