Lee Jang-woo's Yoga Journey: From Struggles to Success

Lee Jang-woo's yoga class experience was revealed.

On the 563rd episode of MBC's variety show 'I Live Alone,' aired on the 20th, Lee Jang-woo was seen attending a yoga class.

Lee Jang-woo shared, "I realized how important blood circulation is," and mentioned that he recently enrolled in a yoga academy. He aimed to learn blood circulation techniques through yoga and combine it with strength training.

Wearing short workout shorts, Lee Jang-woo surprised Gian84, who exclaimed, "What is this? Why are you wearing my underwear?" Code Kunst added humor by saying, "Lee Jang-woo secretly enjoys exposing his lower body."

Lee Jang-woo defended himself, saying, "These are XL size. They weren't this short," while Gian84 reiterated, "I thought they were underwear."

Lee Jang-woo exchanged "Namaste" greetings with the instructor and fellow students, starting the session with light stretching. He explained, "I've been doing yoga for about a month. I'm not that inflexible considering my body size."

Unlike other students, Lee Jang-woo struggled with hip flexibility, adopting different poses. Watching from the studio, Ahn Jae-hyun commented, "It seems like he has body swelling," adding humor to the scene.

Despite his clumsiness, the panelists praised Lee Jang-woo's dedication. Seeing him sweat profusely, SHINee's Key empathized, "Static exercises are really tough."

Throughout the calm group yoga session, Lee Jang-woo gritted his teeth, battling himself and sweating heavily, drawing attention.

During the workout, Lee Jang-woo eventually apologized and collapsed. The instructor encouraged him, saying, "You can rest whenever you want and resume when you're ready."

Lee Jang-woo also attempted the advanced yoga pose 'headstand.' Initially, he faced difficulties, saying, "I don't think I can do it." With the instructor's help, he managed to balance on his head, resembling a panda doing a handstand, which amused everyone.

Lee Jang-woo's weight history from 2021 to now was also revealed: 96kg-73kg-85kg-78kg-89kg-94kg, reaching 108kg in January and 86kg in April this year. Currently, he weighs 94.9kg, about 9kg more than during his body profile shoot. He humorously remarked, "I gained weight healthily. I'm in good condition despite the weight gain."
