Follow BTS RM’s Upper Body Workout Routine That Gets ARMYs Drooling Over His Physique

He still looked amazing while doing each exercise.

BTS‘s leader RM, also known by his real name Kim Namjoon, is famous among ARMYs, BTS’s official fandom, for being in killer shape. Despite this, RM remains humble, rarely showing off his body intentionally and insisting he’s not as muscular as he seems.

Naturally, it was a shock for fans when RM decided to take them on a tour of his daily life, which included revealing one upper body workout routine he uses to maintain his physique. ARMYs now know what it takes to have muscles like his, and they can follow along with his training too!

1. Warm Up

Before anything, RM warms up with light dynamic stretching, jogging for five minutes on a manual treadmill, and short headstand push-ups.
