ITV Love Island Maya Jama's fitness technique that doesn't 'drench' you with sweat

Maya Jama swears by one low-intensity exercise that uses 'every single muscle' in the body without leaving you 'drenched with sweat'. The 30-year-old TV presenter, who recently set off to film a new series of Love Island: All Stars, previously shed light on her rigorous fitness routine.
Press-ups, burpees, cycling and a lot of weights are all part of her regular workouts, but there's only one form of training that she doesn't have to talk herself into doing. You may be surprised to know that such an exercise is Pilates, involving a series of precise movements.
"I do one-to-one sessions with Marsha Lindsay at Nobu London and it’s great because it's a lighter workout but you're using every single muscle," she told Women's Health last year. "You can also do it at midday, and it doesn’t leave you drenched with sweat.
"It’s the only form of exercise that I don’t have to talk myself into doing, and that's a big thing for me!" Although Pilates is often confused with yoga, the latter is generally slower and focused on holding positions, while Pilates is more about muscle toning and core strength.
Taking part in Pilates is especially beneficial for individuals looking to lose weight or tone up, though it may help in the recovery of certain health problems too. Arthritis, scoliosis and even back pain are among the conditions that certain Pilates-style workouts are recommended for, with the NHS sharing several example tutorials on its website.
