If you haven’t gotten round to fulfill your New Year’s resolution of getting fit this 2020, now’s the perfect time to get started! With MCO (and now CMCO leaving us still stuck at home), many are finding it increasingly difficult to stay healthy since both gyms and parks are still closed. But that doesn’t mean you can’t stay fit from the comfort of your own home.
Since you’re already spending most of your time scrolling through your IG feed, you might as well check out these live workout classes to get your blood pumping instead of lazing on the couch all day. These IG Live workouts are all conducted by certified Malaysian Fitness corporations/trainers. And the best part is that they’re all completely FREE!
