The doctor made a choice between yoga and Pilates for beginners

Doctor Melissa Leber advised beginners to do yoga, not Pilates.

Doctor Melissa Leber talked about the difference between yoga and Pilates and shared her opinion on where it is best for beginners to start. Her words are quoted by Vogue.

Leber explained that yoga workouts are slower and require you to hold poses for a certain amount of time. They also usually include meditation and spiritual practices. In Pilates, the movements are faster and the focus shifts to repetition of low-impact exercises.

Leber advised beginners to opt for yoga. Pilates may be more difficult for those who have never exercised before because it emphasizes core work, she said.

On December 29, ex-goalkeeper of the Russian national football team Ruslan Nigmatullin revealed the secret of maintaining good physical shape. The 49-year-old former athlete said he does yoga and Pilates.
