Chung's acting career soared with roles in Once Upon A Time, Big Hero 6, and Eden.

Dive in to discover 5 ways Jamie Chung stays in top shape, complete with photos that showcase her dedication and results.

1. She Loves Oil Skincare Products

Chung shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with Allure. She says that she likes to use products with oil in them. "Oil cleansers and oil moisturizers. They help keep the skin looking young. I like using Sisley Black Rose Precious Face Oil as a moisturizer. [Asian women] also love to exfoliate. It helps brighten up your complexion, leaving your skin looking fresh."

2. She Cooks

Chung loves to cook, and shared some of her recipes with Glamour. “My favorite summer dish is a watermelon feta salad,” she said. “It’s really easy to make, refreshing, and pretty much exactly how it sounds—throw some cut watermelon, feta, balsamic vinaigrette, red onion, and mint into a large serving bowl, then top with a dash of salt and cracked pepper, and toss. The secret is to cut the watermelon into bite-size chunks so it’s easily eatable. Round it off with chicken kebabs, an orzo pasta salad, and you’ve got a tasty meal that’s easy to prep and cook while mingling with guests. It’s always a hit with guests and pairs well with a crisp rosé or chardonnay.”

3. She Meditates

Chung shared some of her wellness secrets with Us Weekly. She says that she likes to practice meditation. “The best thing to do is start with a five-minute meditation when you first wake up. 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.”

4. She Does Workouts That Are Dependent On Her Mood

Chung shared some of her favorite workouts with Us Weekly. She says that what she does is entirely dependent on how she feels. “I’m obsessed with classes,” she says. “So either I’ll commit to a class or take my dog on a long walk or run. I follow Alo Yoga on YouTube and do their power vinyasa videos. If I’m super lazy I’ll say ‘Ok, let’s just start with 50 sit-ups, then 50 more then 15 push-ups and go from there.’ Then I’ll do some squats. It’s about being superconscious of what you do to your body and what you put in your body.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Chung tells Us Weekly that she likes to do a variety of workouts. ”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,” she reveals to Us. “I also do triceps and compound movement, like push presses and then squats with kettlebells. I’m all about time.”

Jamie Chung first made waves when she appeared on MTV’s The Real World: San Diego in 2004. She then appeared on the spinoff, Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno 2, and ended up winning. Chung later transitioned to an acting career, appearing in Once Upon A Time, Grown Ups, and Sorority Row. Chung and her husband, actor Bryan Greenberg, decided to take a trip to Aruba this week. Chung posted a photo of the two of them lounging on a hammock above the water. She wore a brown and black patterned one piece swimsuit, looking stunning. She captioned the photo, “Touched down in Aruba and felt all my stress melt away. From crystal clear water, white sand beaches, summer vibes all year round and the most hospitable locals. Great way to reconnect with my partner in crime.” How does she stay so fit?

1. She Takes Fitness Classes

Chung revealed some of her favorite workouts to Byrdie. She says that she takes a lot of different fitness classes. Chung revealed some of her favorites. “I'll take a circuit training class either at The Training Room in Atlanta or at the Forum. I'll also do a Pilates class at Solid Core and private kickboxing lessons at Unit 2 Fitness. I try to take at least four classes a week. On my rest days, I'll do a yoga class.”

2. She Eats Healthy

Chung also revealed her typical diet to Byrdie, and it’s pretty healthy. “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."

3. She Loves Tea

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. 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!"

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!"
