THE JUNGLE BODY

Formerly a competitive swimmer, and recently retired as a co-leader for The November Project Malaysia, Ing Hui began seeking out a new fitness challenge that eventually led to her taking her license as a Jungle Body instructor.

The Jungle Body is an Australian fitness movement which offers five different programs – Konga®, Vypa®, Jagua®, Tyga® and Burn! The Malaysian Jungle Body movement began in Miri, and the programs have rapidly gained popularity over the past year.

The programs promote engaging workouts that promise to “move, sculpt and transform the physique”. The greatest appeal of these programs lies in the flexibility for participants to perform at their own pace. Most routines only have four steps that are easy to follow – even the most uncoordinated people can pick up.

KONGA has become a fast favourite among people seeking out a fitness alternative. Conducted in a dark studio with disco lights on, with upbeat party vibes, it is a full-body workout which is refreshingly different from other group fitness classes. New routines are introduced every month to keep things fresh.

Ing Hui teaches at 7.15pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at Be U Academy, and 5.45pm on Tuesdays at Fitness Fix Factory. At 5.00pm on alternate Sundays, she conducts classes at Studio 96 Kiulap in Bandar Seri Begawan. •• IG: @thejunglebodywithing FB: @thejunglebodywithing
