List of K-Pop Boy Group Workout Routines
Gym work and bodyweight exercises are popular in the workouts of male K-pop idols. Without further ado, watch some of your favorite male K-pop stars, including BTS’s Jungkook, GOT7’s Jackson, and others, go through workout routines that you might be able to do at home!
BTS’s Jungkook’s Workout
Jungkook from BTS has a really great body. He revealed that he does 240 push-ups a day during the 50th Anniversary of RUN. Through a post on social media, he revealed that his daily workout routine is like this: 20 squats, 20 push-ups, 20 jump squats, 20 shoulder exercises, 10 plank shoulder blades, 20 mountain climbers, 15 burpees, 20 crunches, 20 leg raises, and 20 superman exercises. https://twitter.com/BTS_twt/status/1125743078029922304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1125743078029922304%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kpopmap.com%2Ffans-notice-bts-jungkook-shocking-set-of-workout-exercise%2F Some fans even try Jungkook’s daily workout routine. Take a look at their responses to Jungkook’s workout routine:
Yes, it used to be really easy for me though (I was in the military & I was used to these workouts). For losing weight, 80% has to do with your diet & 20% is exercise. I think that the singer released his workout routine recently. It consists of a series of exercises which includes squats, burpees, crunches and leg raises. He seems to be doing a set of 15-20 repetitions of each movement. Since Jungkook’s workout routine does not require heavy weights, it is rather easy to do. I miss having open gyms but BTS workout routines do really help you. I recommend you change up your routine so you can help the muscle to keep growing. Also, try learning choreographies! They are amazing for cardio! “Fire” is the easiest to learn! so you can catch it up by your own, but you still sweat a lot!

Can Lucas start a series where he just does simple workout things and like teaches us? I would probably actually workout then and he could like invite different members onto the show. He’s so calm here and explained everything so well. Everyone here commenting about how flexible Ten and Winwin are while Yangyang is doing everything they’re doing. This just proves Yangyang deserves more recognition within Wayv. ten just forgot that most of us has BONES…. this guy is so flexible what the hell???? Exercise levels: 1.easy 2.medium 3.hard 4.TEN
