Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has a very impressive figure but tends to turn to one sport when it comes to exercise. This is a stark contrast to most members of the Royal Family, who like horse-riding and team sports such as rugby. People’s personalities influence their sports choice.
Athletes generally choose a sport based on their personality type. For instance, an extrovert may be more inclined to play team sports, while introverts are likely to lean towards individual activities.
In December 2016, Meghan Markle told Women’s Health: “I love an intense vinyasa class – and even better if it’s blasting hip-hop and done in a dark room with candlelight. The best! I’ll do yoga a couple of times a week – hot yoga specifically.”
The Duchess also previously told Best Health Magazine: “I was very resistant as a kid, but [my mum] said, ‘Flower, you will find your practice – just give it time.’
“In college, I started doing it more regularly.”
