Practice Pilates

It’s a low-impact, low-intensity exercise that can make you
stronger, more flexible, and benefit your posture and balance.
It’s proven to reduce lower back pain and it can even enhance
your exercise performance! No surprise that tennis star Andy
Murray uses it in his training routine. In this episode, Pilates
expert Professor Ruth Melo from the University of San Paulo
reveals all about the benefits of Pilates on our cardiovascular
endurance, core strength and healthy ageing. Meanwhile, Michael
challenges keen tennis player Rambali to take up Pilates and see
if he can improve his serve.
