Former Rhythmic Gymnast Son Yeon-jae Embarks on Fitness Journey for Second Pregnancy

Former rhythmic gymnast Son Yeon-jae has begun a fitness regimen in preparation for her second pregnancy.

On the 17th, Son Yeon-jae's YouTube channel featured a video titled 'A Day in the Life of a Mom and Tiger Teacher Yeon-jae Who Needs to Gain 2kg (Not Really a Day)'.

In the video, Son Yeon-jae shared her busy daily routine. After starting her day with Pilates, she prepared for a rhythmic gymnastics competition and gala show, while also making time for skincare.

Spending time with her son Jun-yeon and her mother at the Yongsan Park officer's quarters, Son Yeon-jae expressed her desire to live in such a house. She also mentioned wanting to travel in the clear autumn weather.

Son Yeon-jae flaunted her slim figure while trying on new pants, stating, "It's a size 24. Even though it's tight, I like the wide fit. Successful pants shopping."

She took vitamins D, C, folic acid, and probiotics, and emphasized the importance of upper body workouts for moms, demonstrating kettlebell squats and lunges as part of her home training.

Highlighting her focus on health, Son Yeon-jae revealed, "I've mentioned my plans for a second child in various places. I'm currently 165.7 cm tall and weigh 48 kg, with 19 kg of muscle. I aim to increase my muscle mass by 2 kg to reach 50 kg."

As a former athlete, she received numerous requests for 'fitness content' and admitted, "I haven't been exercising much, so there wasn't much to show. I'm trying to exercise a little every day."

She also shared her concerns about protein intake, saying, "I'm working hard on my fitness, but protein intake is an issue. I can't eat meat three times a day."

Son Yeon-jae shared a lighthearted moment with her husband, playfully sharing a 20,000 won yogurt ice cream, and humorously remarked, "My stamina isn't what it used to be. How did I manage as an athlete?"

Meanwhile, Son Yeon-jae married a financier nine years her senior in 2022 and gave birth to a son last year.
