Riu releases 40-minute Stairway to Heaven workout video... "I build stamina while watching OTT"

Ryu of BOYNEXTDOOR(BND) released a video sharing his workout routine and experience. In the video, Ryu personally demonstrated the entire process, starting from warm-up exercises, stair workouts, cooldown, and stretching. At the beginning of the workout, Ryu introduced his own method of slowly walking at speed 4, then increasing the speed to 7 and climbing stairs for about 50 minutes. He mentioned that focusing on the workout without music or a phone during the stair exercise is actually more effective. He explained that leaning the upper body forward and pushing the pelvis back during the workout reduces strain on the calves and strengthens the hips. During the workout, Ryu recalled his first experience with stair exercises during his trainee days. He started stair workouts at the recommendation of his coach and remembered that even 20 minutes was difficult at first. After consistently doing stair workouts, he became accustomed to it and reached the level of climbing over 1,000 stairs at once. Ryu gave advice on his personal preference regarding wearing or taking off shoes during stair workouts and noted that the effectiveness of the exercise can vary depending on where you step on the stairs. He also emphasized stretching the calves, thighs, and hamstrings and using a foam roller after exercising. He shared that he is the only member who consistently does stair workouts and mentioned the importance of diet control. Ryu expressed that he recommends exercise for health rather than aesthetic purposes. The video also conveyed various stories, including his thoughts during the workout, the view of the workout location, and the passion for exercise among HYBE members. Ryu emphasized, ″In the end, everything comes down to stamina, so it’s important,″ and finished the workout with stretching, encouraging viewers to maintain consistent exercise and healthy habits.
