SINGAPORE – Once a week, public servant Chong Wan Yieng exchanges high-intensity workouts for a one-hour active recovery workout in which she stretches her muscles using resistance bands and other props at a boutique gym.
“When I tried the class, I was shocked because it was so chilled out,” says the 49-year-old, an avid gymgoer since 2017. “I’m the sort who needs to sweat a lot so that I feel I’ve worked out.”
