Jordan Yeoh may very well be one of Malaysia’s top male fitness influencers (he’s not far from one million followers on Instagram). His Youtube channel is filled with fat-burning exercises and ab sculpting techniques. The best part is, almost all of his recent content was filmed outdoors or in his living room, meaning anyone can do it just about anywhere. His steps are easy to follow, from crunch heel touches to staggered jump squats.

2. Danae Mercer

Danae Mercer is an inspiration. If you have, at some point, felt a sense of body insecurity while scrolling through your Instagram timeline or grid, Danae is the person to follow as she sets things straight. Often sharing side-to-side images of herself to raise awareness on how harmful and misleading social media images can be, she is an open critic of deceptive content posted online and is outspoken about everything from cellulite to stretch marks. A number of her videos, where she talks about styling, lighting and retouching, have also gone viral on TikTok.
