A former Singapore national tennis player, Dr Yong doesn’t just preach the usual adage that “exercise is good for you.” This doc, who holds the record for the youngest person ever to represent Singapore in the international Davis Cup competition, prescribes picking a sport you enjoy to ensure continued participation for years. “If you are having fun while playing a sport you like, you will naturally enjoy and benefit from the work-out,” says Dr Yong.
