SAS heroes have turned to yoga to prepare the secret missions in Afghanistan. The crack regiment, which has one of the most gruelling selection tests in the world, has also begun using Pilates as a part of its rigorous training regime. As well as being excellent for building strength, both activities are viewed as ideal in helping troopers deal with mental stress in combat.
