For Soyou's workout routine this time around, she says that she did a combination of weight training and yoga. According to Soyou, she does yoga two to three times a week and does weight training at least fives time a week, which is similar to what she normally did before the pandemic.
In order to burn off fat, Soyou also does cardio, such as walking, running, and jogging. While her weight training builds her muscles.
Soyou also tries to avoid working out at night, as someone had told her it wasn't good to exercise at night and because her heart heats up easily.
It is also worth noting that before the start of the pandemic, Soyou lived an active lifestyle. She can often be seen participating in several sports activities, such as wakeboarding and surfing, among many others.
Additionally, Soyou also does dance practices for when she needs to from time to time.

For Soyou's diet plan this time around, she recommends everyone to have a plan when it comes to dieting.
According to Soyou, reducing your diet too much will result in you eating too much, otherwise known as "binge eating."
Soyou says to eat three meals a day, and if you don't like eating breakfast, you can replace it with protein or salads, and it eat outside of your regular meals.
For breakfast or lunch, Soyou eats her regular meal, while the remaining two meals will be either a salad or protein. But the key point of her diet would be eating half of her normal serving.
She also recommends to eat rice with "half air" or replace it with konjac or brown rice during regular meals, but not too much of it.
Based on Soyou's latest Instagram posts, it seems her diet and workout worked!
