Andy Murray gets hot and sweaty off the court

It's becoming much more well-known that athletes rely on a variety of workouts to stay in top shape -- we're always hearing about how they incorporate strength training and Pilates. Well, the workout that's gotten tennis champ Andy Murray into his best shape ever is Bikram yoga.

Murray has really seemed to come into his own recently, making it to the US Open final by beating Wimbledon champ Rafael Nadal. He lost to Roger Federer, but the performance still brought the 21-year-old to number four in the world -- not too shabby!

He attends Hot Bikram Yoga in Fulham, West London, where he's joined by Olympic athletes as well as professional soccer and tennis players. It makes sense that the athletic elite would be drawn to Bikram -- the founder of Hot Bikram Yoga explains that it's a 'holistic workout,' stretching participants mentally and physically, all while giving them a cardiovascular workout. Besides all that, it can help prevent and even treat injuries -- good news for those pro athletes! Have you ever tried Bikram?
