LESSERAFIM Chaewon — Diet & Workout Routine
Kpop series#1: diets & workouts
I figured I’d start a fun Kpop series where I will dive into anything related to K-Pop idols and their health, diet, and fitness routines. If you’re interested in that, then feel free to stick around. And while you’re at it, you can start giving me idol recommendations in the comments.
In this blogpost, I will talk about former IZ*ONE and current Lesserafim’s idol Chaewon.
General information:
- stage name: Chaewon
- birth name: Kim Chae Won
- position: leader
- birthday: August 1, 2000
- height: 164cm/5'4
- weight: 42kg/92lbs (take the weight with a grain of salt, very often idols’ weights online are not accurate and they weigh more than that!)
- MBTI: ISTP
Diet routine:
Despite the lack of detailed information, Chaewon most definitely likes to have a healthy and well-balanced diet. She loves eating mandarins and her favorite fruit is blueberries. Another thing we know about her diet is that her favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate. So with this information, I can provide an example of a well-balanced meal plan for you to follow to become healthier and potentially lose weight, inspired by Chaewon’s diet:
breakfast:
- oatmeal + fresh fruit of your choice + nuts or nut butter
- cup of green tea
lunch:
- brown rice
- tuna salad (canned tuna, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, chopped fresh parsley, 1tbsp olive oil, lemon juice from half a lemon, and salt and pepper to taste)
- vegetable toppings (avocado slices + mixed greens)
snack:
- 2 mandarins
- small serving of (Greek) yogurt
dinner:
- protein source (e.g., grilled chicken, meat, fish, tofu)
- sweet potato fries
- big, fresh salad
Workout routine:
Considering Chaewon is a K-pop idol, she has to dance for hours almost every day to perfect choreographies and to maintain her fitness levels. I suggest you pick a cardio workout that you like (jogging, cycling, etc.) and try to do that for at least half an hour a day.
Other than that, she prefers to do bodyweight exercises over lifting weights to prevent injuries. Since her routine is very long, she chose to share some of her favorite exercises: planks, side planks, and burpees.
If you’re interested to follow the popular Lesserafim workout, then here it is:
- 100 jumping jacks
- 4x25 burpees
- 2x10 jump squats
- 3mins plank crawl
- 2x10 plank up and down
- 2x10 plank twists
- 75 crunches
Make sure not to overexert yourself and listen to your body. Start with what you’re able to do, and build from there slowly so you won’t injure yourself!
That is everything for Lesserafim Chaewon’s diet and workout routine! :)
