Why is Gong HyoJin thin, because of her habits at home?

Actress Gong Hyojin has revealed her secret to staying slim. Recently, a video titled "Introducing My New Home" was uploaded to her YouTube channel, "For a While, Gong Hyojin," where she talked about her slim figure while showcasing various areas of her home.

Gong Hyojin mentioned, "Honestly, I'm not the type to just sit still," adding, "That's probably why I live in a slim state." She continued, "Unless I'm studying, it's better for me to keep moving."

She also shared various ways she manages her figure at home. For instance, using a vacuum cleaner for 15 minutes can burn approximately 45 calories. Maintaining an active lifestyle, like Gong Hyojin, helps with body management, and a study published in the international journal *Science* showed that people who are consistently active and do housework tend to have a higher metabolism and are less likely to gain weight.

There are many ways to stay in shape at home.

Activities that can help with weight loss at home include chores and home workouts. For example, vacuuming for 15 minutes burns about 45 calories, while cleaning the bathtub can burn around 100 calories. Wiping windows for 20 minutes can result in burning 115 calories. Focusing on the core and glutes while doing chores can enhance body management further.

However, developing poor habits or posture while doing housework can harm joint health. Activities like hand-washing or wringing out rags may lead to wrist tunnel syndrome, and frequently kneeling can increase the risk of degenerative joint disease. To reduce strain on the body, it's essential to stretch regularly and change positions to avoid stiffness in the neck and shoulders.

Home workouts for the upper, lower, and abs are also effective for losing weight

Home workouts that target the upper body, lower body, and core can also be effective for maintaining a slim figure. Simple exercises like push-ups, which require just a towel or mat, strengthen the chest, arms, shoulders, and muscles around the spine. To perform a push-up, lie face down, place your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and move your body up and down. When lowering, bend your elbows until your chest almost touches the ground, and when pushing up, engage your armpits while straightening your arms.

Leg raises and crunches are easy core exercises that can be done indoors. Leg raises target the lower abdomen and involve lying on your back and repeatedly lifting and lowering your legs. For this exercise, lie flat on your back, pull your chin to your chest, and keep your spine against the floor while raising your legs 15-20 cm off the ground. Crunches strengthen the upper abdominal muscles and require you to lie on the floor, lift your head and upper body off the ground while keeping your feet flat. It's important not to overstrain your shoulders or neck while doing this exercise.
