Keep on moving: Why exercise is a daily priority for SGX CEO Loh Boon Chye

I SPEND a significant amount of time at work, so it is absolutely important for me to have an exercise programme that is time-efficient. I exercise every day usually in the mornings for an hour or more and sometimes even twice a day.

It has become such an integral part of my day that if I don't exercise, I feel something is missing and I don't feel my normal self. This is how important my fitness routine is to me.

I now gravitate towards gym workouts rather than other forms of exercise. I was a sprinter during my days in Temasek Junior College and running remains my exercise of choice even at the gym. I do a lot of thinking when I exercise, mainly on the treadmill. In fact, that is why I need to do a treadmill run whenever I work out. I run about 20 to 25 minutes each time, completing anywhere between 3 and 4 km.
