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!"
