Video of an exercise instructor in Myanmar performing a workout routine while a military coup takes place behind her has gone viral online. 

Khing Hnin Wai, a physical education teacher in the country, regularly posts workout videos set to music on her Facebook page. 

A video posted on Monday shows military-style trucks speeding behind her on their way to the country’s capitol complex in Naypyitaw. 

The post earned more than 60,000 interactions on Facebook, and a video clip of the routine received thousands of more on Twitter.
