Alexandra Asmasoebrata, former Indonesian race car driver
Jakarta, IO – Alexandra “Andra” Asmasoebrata may no longer be seen competing professionally in motor racing, but she makes sure to maintain her health and fitness.
Currently serving as the Chairwoman of Women in Sport of Indonesia Motor Association, Andra, who is also known as the first female race car driver in Indonesia and Asia, is committed to exercising regularly. “I exercise four or five times a week, and I have also done saunas regularly for the past two years,” said Andra.
“There are many pillars to maintaining physical fitness. But for me, the most important thing is watching the diet and rest patterns,” said Andra, in the Media Experience of OSIM Golden Pair uLove 3 and uThrone V at Plaza Indonesia Mall, last week.
Maintaining diet and having enough rest should go hand in hand, because both are important indicators that guarantee physical fitness. “Eating and resting are definitely my top priorities, because if we eat properly but don’t get enough rest, it’s ineffective, and vice versa. So those two things must be balanced,” she said.
“In my opinion, diet can be important or not important. Since about three years ago, I do not feel like I’m not on a diet. But, I changed my lifestyle. If we follow a diet, it would just exert more pressure,” she continued.
Andra admits that it is pretty difficult to watch what she eats in Indonesia, due to the rich selection of tasty food and fried food. “I don’t desist from it, but I set a limit. For example, if I eat fried foods today, I won’t eat them again for the next few days,” she said.
To keep herself healthy, Andra tries to maintain her stress level by doing relaxation, including massage. Therefore, she was ecstatic when OSIM launched OSIM uLove 3 and uThrone V.
“Busy schedule and pressure from work have increased my stress level. The special massage from OSIM uLove 3 helps me feel more relaxed and proves to reduce my stress levels. The design by Pininfarina gives it a luxurious vibe like a Ferrari car,” added Andra.
“It’s more than a regular massage chair, but it’s a comfortable and aesthetic well-being chair, which can be placed at home and in the office. You get the luxury, the comfort and the fragrance. There are various settings. So, it’s a complete package, pampering our bodies to relax.”
The flexibility aspect is also one of the factors that makes Andra opt for the well-being chair. Visiting a massage center or calling a massage service home are rather inflexible because she needs to fit it in with her schedule. “With this well-being chair from OSIM, we can decide the time ourselves. When at home, we can relax alone. If there’s a ladies’ gathering, they can also get some relaxation. It’s fun,” said Andra.
Andra enjoys the hand massage, because when she feels tired, the massage by the well-being chair really helps her unwind. “It feels good and different. It has stepped up to the next level,” she said.
Andra added that the well-being chair by OSIM is better than most massages at the spa as the chair can give the massage simultaneously. OSIM products have been known to lead with innovation, such as visual stimulation, hearing, massage points and so on.
“So, if asked what should be added, it’s difficult to answer. OSIM must know better. Maybe they should have a campaign. Women usually have “girls time”, usually at the beauty salon. Maybe they can go to OSIM clinic instead, as it can be a complete package.”

OSIM’s uLove 3 is equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) that can detect stress levels in the user’s body. “The uLove 3 massage chair will provide the massage the user’s body needs. The massage can detect and reduce stress levels, making users more relaxed. The technology on uLove 3 also uses the OSIM Well-Being App that allows users to measure, monitor, and manage stress,” said Senior Brand Manager of OSIM Indonesia Resti Ruhimat.
Another chair that OSIM is promoting is the uThrone V, a gaming chair that can function as a massage chair to help a user loosen up while working or playing games.
The V-Hand™ feature on the OSIM uThrone V will enhance relaxation after playing games. V-Hand is a technology that replicates the hands of a professional massage expert with a 360-degree roller design along the neck and shoulders, as well as a gliding motion along the waist. (rp)
