Jennifer opens, "Kailangan malakas 'yung baga mo, so talagang ginawa ko lang talaga s'ya [and cardio exercises] para sa craft ko.

"Kasi kailangan po talaga lalo na kapag belter ka na kagaya ko, kailangan talaga 'yung long breathing, 'yung kaya mong i-support 'yung mga note mo."

According to Jeniffer, the best cardio workout that singers can do is swimming as it helps elongate vocal folds, allowing them to raise their pitch.

However, due to the enhanced community quarantine which restricts individuals from staying outdoors, she does exercise at home by following workout videos online.

As part of her no-equipment exercise routine, Jeniffer does planking, jumping jacks, burpees, mountain climbers, and jumping lunges.

"Since nasa bahay lang ako, 'di naman ako nakakapag-jogging, nag-search ako online ng mga puwedeng alternative.

"So ang lagi kong kasama ngayon is 'yung yoga mat."
