By now, most of us would know that this year's NDP song is called Because It's Singapore.

So, now that you've heard the song and know how it doesn't really connect to Singaporeans on a larger scale, imagine it used for a workout.

And yes, that's what has happened.

We can only assume that the logical progression to get people to feel a deeper connection to the song is to do an entire workout based on it.

Interestingly, most Singaporeans were super happy to see the workout video.

But there are also a few people not taking it too well to it.

Realistically speaking, a workout done on a national scale isn't going to be the latest K-pop choreography or contain fashionable dance moves,  given the limits of how accessible a mass workout can become - at least, in the context of a practical time frame.

One thing's for sure, don't expect many self-conscious youths to be caught dead doing this.
