Is your back feeling sore from sitting at home for too long? Well, singer-songwriter Tay Kexin is here to help, with another round of AsiaOne's Facebook Live HIIT yoga sessions on Tuesday (May 5) and Saturday (May 9).
Last week, we heard your comments about back tightness, so stay tuned to the end as this time around, Kexin will be teaching us some back-stretching exercises as well.
No more excuses to lie around in bed — get up and get ready to loosen up your back at the end of the session.
Unbeknownst to many, Kexin is not only a singer but also a certified yoga instructor.
The 30-minute sessions will be held on two separate days this week, and each will combine HIIT (high-intensity interval training) with yoga poses. You'll be sure to come out of these hybrid training sessions dripping in sweat.
Here are the details of the live sessions and the breakdown of the exercises she'll be doing.
