Jamie Chung in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "What a Way to Kick Off the Week"

Jamie Chung is doing Pilates – in her two piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Reunion star shows off her amazing body in Alo leggings and a matching crop top during a workout session with her trainer, Mary Miller. “What a way to kick off the week,” she captioned the Instagram video, showing off her moves on the reformer. How does the 41-year-old actress approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her health habits.

1. Cardio and Strength Training

Jamie does a combo of cardio and strength training. ”If I’m in the gym, I like a 15-minute warm-up on the treadmill, then I go to the [crossover] cable trainer and I do a jump pull-up and then static holds and then I’ll slowly come down — it really works your whole body,” Jamie told Us. “I also do triceps and compound movement, like push presses and then squats with kettlebells. I’m all about time.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

2. Three Meals a Day

Jamie eats three meals a day. "In the morning, I'll have two breakfast tacos or a veggie egg scramble with avocado toast, and, of course, hot sauce. For lunch, I'll have a mixed-green salad with a protein and veggies and a Vita Coco Sparkling Water (lemon ginger is my fave). For dinner, I'll do a veggie brown rice stir-fry. I'm trying to reduce my animal protein intake, so I'll only have a bit of chicken or fish at lunch. For a snack, I'll have guilt-free popcorn or a handful of everything pretzel snacks from Whole Foods with guacamole,” she told Byrdie.

3. No Diets

“I have done a health retreat to kick-start my new year at The Ranch Malibu. That was amazing! But I haven't tried any of the fads. I'm constantly trying to eat right and exercise. Sometimes I'll crank up the workouts so I can eat junk and have major cheat days,” she told Byrdie.

4. Walking

Chung also takes long walks. "If I decide to cancel my class, I'll motivate myself by taking Ewok on a long walk,” she told Byrdie. “From there, I'll convince myself to do 100 jumping jacks at the park while he runs around. Then I'll do as many push-ups as I can and burn out with squats and lunges. It's not ideal, but I'll start with one thing and hopefully move to the next exercise. Before I know it, it's a solid 45-minute workout!"

5. Meditation

“The best thing to do is start with a five-minute meditation when you first wake up,” Chung told Us. “It’s so easy to be so stressed out and [with] all the pressures we put on ourselves, just take five minutes to meditate and get your mind right, everything else will follow.” “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

• Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
• Building skills to manage your stress
• Increasing self-awareness
• Focusing on the present
• Reducing negative emotions
• Increasing imagination and creativity
• Increasing patience and tolerance
• Lowering resting heart rate
• Lowering resting blood pressure
• Improving sleep quality

6. Exercise Classes

Jamie is “addicted to classes,” she once told Byrdie. She added to Harper’s Bazaar that she doesn’t discriminate when it comes to various methods. “I love them all. I highly recommend ClassPass. I spend a fortune on Barry's Bootcamp, Cycle House, SoulCycle, Flywheel, Ballet Barre, SLT Pilates, YogaWorks…I do everything and I'm always trying different workouts and I was like, ‘Finally, 99 bucks!’”

Chung has a few magic potions to help with digestion. “After a big meal, I'll usually make myself fresh tea. It includes fresh mint (I have a small mint plant in my kitchen, so I have a constant stock of mint at all times), lots of fresh shaved ginger, lemon, and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Sometimes I'll add a bit of honey. That usually helps me digest and helps fight any bloating!" she told Byrdie.

8. She Moves Every Day

Chung makes sure she is physically active every single day. “I like to move every day, I just feel better after I’ve moved, it’s about your state of mind and giving yourself some endorphins,” she told Us.

2. She Eats Healthy

Chung revealed her secret to avoiding bloating to Byrdie. She says that she makes a special tea, and reveals her recipe. “After a big meal, I'll usually make myself fresh tea.

Sometimes I'll add a bit of honey. That usually helps me digest and helps fight any bloating!"

4. She Does Circuits

Chung doesn’t always have time to workout. She tells Shape that she does a small circuit whenever she’s busy. "I’ll do something called 'the 100s,' where I do 100 jumping jacks, 100 crunches, and 100 squats," she says. "You do all three. It doesn’t take up too much time, but it just kind of gets you moving."

5. She Walks Her Dog

Chung tells Byrdie that one way she stays in shape is walking her dog. “He needs exercise too, so I always try and squeeze in a one-and-a-half- to two-mile jog/walk with him at least three times a week. I say jog/walk because he often stops for a break more than I do! If I decide to cancel my class, I'll motivate myself by taking Ewok on a long walk. From there, I'll convince myself to do 100 jumping jacks at the park while he runs around. Then I'll do as many push-ups as I can and burn out with squats and lunges. It's not ideal, but I'll start with one thing and hopefully move to the next exercise. Before I know it, it's a solid 45-minute workout!"

1. She Loves Green Juices

Chung makes sure to eat healthy. She tells Well + Good that one of her secrets is ordering green juices. “Usually between breakfast and lunch I’ll grab a green juice. I feel like I have a harder time digesting veggies. It’s more of an effort for me to include my greens in those two meals, so I make sure to drink it if I don’t eat it.”

2. She Takes Care Of Both Her Mind & Body

Chung revealed some of her wellness secrets to The Cut. In the interview, the actress was asked what her definition of wellness is. “Taking care of your body as well as your mind,” she answered. “It’s having a quiet consciousness. Being calm mentally, as well as physically.”

3. She Loves ClassPass

Chung has a busy schedule, but she still makes time for fitness. She revealed her secret to The Cut. “I’m such a ClassPass girl. I’ve been with it since the beginning — it’s just a way for me not to plateau with my workouts. I love checking out new studios and trying new workouts, so I think that’s the best fit for me, especially since I’m bouncing around from New York to L.A. It really helps with the city change, and if I’m visiting a new city — like when I’m in Atlanta or I’m back home in San Francisco — it really conforms to my lifestyle, which is always on the go.”

4. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Chung tells The Cut that she does a variety of workouts to stay in shape. “I like to mix it up with classes. I like high-interval training classes, so I like Barry’s Bootcamp and Sweat Garage. I love Prevail boxing classes, where you’re working the bag and you’re still doing weights. I love spin at Cycle House as well as FlyWheel. It kind of varies, but I’ll also do an active rest day, where I’ll do yoga.”

5. She Meditates

Chung practices meditation as a way of maintaining her wellness. She tells The Cut, “It’s okay to take a day off and just meditate. It’s so easy to get stressed out and flustered; you have all this mental energy and it’s very negative. I started to meditate a year and a half ago, and I started to calm my mind, and it helps me sort out how to fix a problem and come up with solutions with a clear mind. I think meditation has helped me prevent spontaneous outbursts of anger, truly. My husband [actor Bryan Greenberg] and I do it together — he put me onto it. It’s a new thing we do, but it helps both of us and it helps the relationship.”
