Comedian Shim Jin-hwa loses 8.5kg of fasting body weight... takes a walk with her pet dog

Comedian Shim Jin-hwa revealed her changed appearance after dieting through SNS. On the 30th, Shim Jin-hwa posted several photos on her social media along with the caption, ″I’m back!!! My face looks completely different.″ In the photos, Shim Jin-hwa wore a beret and looked at the camera with a bare face, drawing attention with her slimmer facial contours and clear skin. Shim Jin-hwa has shared her daily routine of combining various exercises such as walking her dog, running, and indoor cycling during her weight loss process. In June 2024, she revealed on SNS, ″This morning’s fasting weight -8.5kg,″ and introduced her exercise routine, saying, ″Warmed up with a one-hour walk with my dog, ran five laps around the track, then walked again, stretched, and enjoyed a sweat bath under the scorching sun.″ In July of the same year, she posted a photo walking her dog with the caption, ″Mom, can you tell I lost 9.5 kg?″ and the next day wrote, ″51 minutes of indoor cycling late at night,″ showing that she continued indoor cardio exercises consistently. Meanwhile, researchers from Imperial College London and Semnan University of Medical Sciences in Iran published a study in December 2024 in the international journal JAMA Network Open analyzing the relationship between aerobic exercise and weight loss. A meta-analysis of 116 randomized controlled trials involving 6,880 overweight or obese adults confirmed a tendency for weight, waist circumference, and body fat to decrease as the time spent on aerobic exercises such as walking and running increased. Notably, engaging in moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise for at least 150 minutes per week showed significant effects on reducing waist circumference and body fat. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) classifies brisk walking as moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and recommends adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week.
