Jungkook’s Workout For 1 Week: You Won’t Believe What Happened

I wanted to get fit, so I started looking for things to do. I came across Jungkook’s workout and decided to give it a shot for a week. This is what happened:

My Workout Experience

This section won’t be that long, as I don’t have much experience working out.

I mainly just dance… and not professionally. I play Just Dance. That’s about it. I’ve been going for walks around my neighborhood lately, but that about sums it up… see not that long right?

I spent the last year and a half in horrible pain in my shoulder, neck, and jaw. It stopped me from doing any sort of physical activity, so my fitness level has really gone downhill… not that it was very far up a hill to begin with.

But, good news!! At least for me… I have solved my shoulder, neck, and jaw pain (I believe) so it is time to start a workout routine and get healthy!

At this point, I am super excited to see what happens with this little challenge I am giving myself. Let’s see how long that lasts.

The Workout

So I looked all over the place for a good workout routine. I wanted something that would be a bit easy-ish for me to get back into physically, but not something too easy that it wouldn’t really do anything.

I have to get rid of this mommy tummy, you know?

So, I think I am going to challenge myself to doing Jungkook’s workout from BTS for 1 week.

I know it isn’t that long of a time, and you have to really commit to something to see results, but I figured it could be fun to try it for a week and record what happened for all of you lovely people to read about and laugh at my escapade.

What is the workout? That is a great question. Here it is:

20 squats

This doesn’t sound that hard. I don’t love squats. But honestly, I would rather do leg work any day rather than working on my arms… which is probably why my arms look the way they do. I have ZERO upper body strength. I mean that so much.

20 pushups

And here is what I am dreading. I can’t do a single pushup. I’m not kidding. I never have been able to… I used to be able to bench around 280-300lbs with my legs, no problem… Well, it took a lot of work, I wouldn’t say ‘no problem’, but I can’t do a single pushup. How sad. Even modified pushups are difficult for me. Let’s see how this goes.

20 jump squats

I feel like these won’t be too bad. I probably won’t like doing it, but maybe my butt will look fierce after, so lets go!

20 pike pushups

I have never tried these, so I don’t know if these will be easier or harder than regular pushups. I am just hoping that my arms don’t give out on me landing me on my face. Because, if I am being honest, that is a 100% possibility.

10 plank

I don’t know if this is a 10-second plank, or what else that could possibly mean. So, I am going to do a plank for 10 seconds and that will probably be enough for me anyway. Especially after all of this other stuff I’ll be doing.

20 mountain climbers

From what I gather, you are in a plank position and run your legs up to you in this one? I haven’t done them before, but I don’t think I am going to like this at all. But who am I kidding, there is a reason I have this girly figure, and it isn’t because I love working out….

15 burpees

From anyone that workouts out, or has worked out at some point in their life, I feel like this is one of the most hated workouts. At least, that is what I have heard from a ton of people. Am I excited to try this unnecessarily complicated maneuver? Kind of. How long do you think that excitement will last?

20 crunches

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I can do crunches all day… At least I used to be able to. It probably won’t be as easy after all this other foolishness.

20 leg raises

I have done these. I do not like these. Enough said.

20 superman

I had to look this one up. I had no idea what it could possibly be. It doesn’t look hard, but those are usually the worst ones. I will like the laying on your stomach part, it is the raising your arms and legs thing that will get me.

What Happened

Monday

Ok, so, what I thought would happen did. I tried and failed to get through all the workouts. I made it to the burpees and couldn’t move anymore, so I decided to take a little break, then start at the burpees and finish the exercises.

As I am writing this, I am already having a hard time moving my arms… this is going to be interesting.

BTW, those jump squats that I thought were going to be “not too bad”, OMG. I was wrong.

I was so wrong.

Why did I decide to do this to myself?

I’m sweating, my body is shaking and I can’t lift my arms… they feel like lead.

Why?

Tuesday

I don’t know if today was harder or easier. I’m going to be honest.

On one hand, I got through all of the exercises in one go today… on the other hand, I’m pretty sure I can’t move anymore.

Walking is nearly impossible… and lifting my arms, even more so. You should see me trying to drink water… that is a workout in itself.

I am really hoping this starts getting easier soon. I am going to have to switch to talk to text soon. My lack of exercise for over a year is really showing. Ow.

I can say that I don’t know which I hate more…. Jump squats or mountain climbers. I’ll get back to you on that.

Wednesday

Ok. I feel like crap.

For whatever reason, I could not sleep last night. I figured if I started working out then I would be so tired that I would go into a coma… nope. Maybe that works with normal people, but not me.

I could not go to sleep to save my life. And then the random spurts of time that I did sleep, I kept waking up from body pains. I am a mover when I sleep. I can’t stay in one spot for long. And Jesus, Joseph, and Mary does it hurt to move.

The workouts today were a bit easier to do. I felt like I could do them a bit faster than I have been doing them.

Those push-ups killed me. I am just waiting for the one time my arms go ‘nope’ and I fall flat on my face. It’s coming. I can feel it. Literally.

Hopefully by the end of the week I will be killing it, and hopefully I’ll be able to see something from all this work.

BTW, my arms are still killing me. I can’t even fully extend them. I tried to get a pot of food out of the fridge and thought I was going to drop it. Everything is becoming a workout. Getting dressed, brushing my hair and teeth… everything. And I am still walking like a newborn giraffe.

I wonder if Jungkook went through any of this. I feel like he didn’t. Damn, it hurts.

Thursday

Body is still shaking when I do anything.

I couldn’t get through them all today. My limit today was 10 pushups off the sink because it felt like my arms were going to tear themselves from my shoulders.

I was only able to do 12 leg raises and lets just forget that the superman exercise is even a thing.

Whose bright idea was it to do this for a week? And what’s more, I don’t know whose genius idea it was to create this terrible workout routine… I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Jungkook. If anyone knows who decided on this, let me know… I just want to talk.

Friday

Ok, I’ll be honest… I didn’t do it today. I just couldn’t. I felt like crap so I decided today would be my rest day.

Don’t worry though, tomorrow and Sunday I am back at it… then we will see if this crazy workout did anything in a week. I doubt it, other than hurting me badly. But, time will tell.

Saturday

I probably shouldn’t have taken a break from this particular workout. Getting back into it is nearly impossible. Not because it’s hard, but because I just don’t like doing it.

At the moment, my arms don’t feel like they are being torn out of my sockets, but maybe that’s just because of the break I took. I don’t do the superman workout anymore… It just doesn’t work for me. I just want to lay there and fall asleep, instead of finishing the workout.

Sunday

Ok, last day! I’m definitely forcing myself to do this at this point just for this post. If it weren’t for this, I would have found something else to do to work out.

Every exercise I do, I keep reminding myself, ‘this is the last time you will have to do this workout from Hell’.

I am able to get through everything now, for the most part without feeling like I am going to die. I do have to break a couple of them up into 2 sets of 10, instead of just doing all 20 in one go. But I figure that’s fine, I am still getting 20 of them in.

And now….. I’m done!!!!! I haven’t been this happy since I was able to eat real food again after having all of my wisdom teeth taken out.

The Workout Results

Measurements:

Before: Bust- 35 inches  Waist- 30 inches  Hips- 40.5 inches

After: Bust- 36 inches  Waist-27.5 inches  Hips- 42 inches

Alright, so as for the results… I know that after a week you won’t really see much of a difference. You have to do something for a bit in order to get any real results. But I thought it might be a bit of a cool experiment to see what would happen after a week.

There wasn’t a huge change, obviously, but there was a little bit of a change for a week of work I think. My waist went down a couple of inches, so there is that. My hips also went up a couple of inches, so maybe I just forced everything down? I’m fairly certain it was those damn squats and jump squats… maybe I’ll keep those in my routine.

As for everything else…. I don’t know if you have gathered or not, but I HATED this workout routine. OMG. I have never been the type of person that liked working out in the traditional sense. It is so boring to me and it just hurts. I prefer to dance or do yoga or something.

So in case anyone is interested, no I will not be doing this again, but would I recommend it? Sure. I think if you like to work out, or at least don’t mind it, this routine would be a good one to try. It definitely works the whole body, and once you get the hang of it, it doesn’t take up too much time. It’s a quick way to get in a full-body workout.

Remember though: it is always best to check with a doctor before starting any kind of workout routine. Get a professional opinion on this before you start it. I am not a professional, I just did this for fun.

Wow, am I glad this is over.

If you have anything you want me to try for a week or so, let me know and I’ll give it a shot.
