‘National first love’ Bae Suzy with pilates exercises to stay in shape

Stay in shape with Bae Suzy, the Korean drama star’s workout and diet plan. Bae Suzy practices “penguin exercises”, pilates, yoga and cardio, while following a high-protein, low-carb diet to stay in shape.

“She doesn’t leave a single bite behind” is the reaction of viewers every time they see Bae Suzy taking the internet by storm with her perfect appearance. She has come a long way in her fitness journey, overcoming many prejudices and criticisms for her chubby appearance when she entered showbiz. Committed to a variety of workouts, a healthy diet and good sleep, the Vagabond star constantly strives to have a healthy and radiant body.

Suzy’s favorite penguin exercise to tone her arms

The penguin exercise, this one might sound a little cynical at first, but Bae Suzy especially recommends it for those looking to lose arm fat. Performing the exercise on the show, Suzy joked: “People will look and say what are you doing, but it’s actually a good workout.” She stressed that the more you do it, the slimmer your arms will become. All you have to do is extend your wrists at a right angle (imagine what a penguin looks like) and rotate them in and out while flapping your arms up and down. Don’t raise your arms too high. According to Suzy, keep doing this move until the muscles in your arms are sore.

Cardio exercises

Suzy starts her day with an aerobic exercise like running. She also mentioned in a previous interview that hula-hooping also helps get her heart rate up. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that adults get about 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75-100 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week.

Pilates or yoga

These are low-impact exercises that use your body weight as resistance. The key to these exercises is mastering proper form. Practicing yoga and Pilates regularly will help improve your muscle strength, balance, and flexibility. Yoga combines physical activity with meditation and breathing techniques. Pilates, on the other hand, involves a series of repetitive body movements with breathing techniques to improve coordination and movement.

Facial massage for a slim face

Here’s a holy grail beauty tip that we’re sure you’ll incorporate into your routine once you discover it. To get a V-shaped face, Suzy practices a 4-minute oil cleanse. Apply your chosen cleansing oil to your fingers and gently massage your face in circular, upward motions. This process not only removes makeup, but also helps to firm and slim your face and reduce puffiness.

Bae Suzy follows a high protein, low carb diet

While Suzy eats chicken breast, sweet potatoes, and a glass of low-fat milk for breakfast, her lunch consists of brown rice and salad. She ends the day with two sweet potatoes for dinner. This diet plan is quite balanced. The chicken breast meets the body’s protein needs, while the sweet potatoes and brown rice are rich in carbohydrates that help you feel full. According to many media reports, the star even goes on a strict diet when filming dramas and movies. She is said to follow a “time-restricted” diet, making sure not to eat anything after 6 p.m. Another secret to her healthy and toned body is the Korean people’s favorite side dish: Kimchi.

An article by Her World Singaporean Bae Suzy incorporates kimchi into her diet. It’s packed with probiotics and good bacteria that help keep your digestive tract healthy, which in turn helps prevent “acne and other nasty skin problems.” Kimchi is also low in calories (just 23 calories per cup) and high in fiber, which keeps you feeling fuller for longer and prevents hunger pangs.
