Pilates is ‘Brutal’: Sylvester Stallone

Los Angeles: Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone has dubbed Pilates as "brutal" after he took on the core fitness session with his eldest daughter Sophia.

The 70-year-old actor may be used to physical exercise having taken on the famous role of fictional boxer Rocky Balboa in the "Rocky" franchise, but after he joined his eldest daughter Sophia, 20, for a core fitness session he was left feeling exhausted.

Taking to Instagram, the "Creed" star said in a video: "For anyone who's never tried Pilates - the name sounds cute, but it ain't cute."

He then captioned the footage: "Brutal! Working out with my daughter doing Pilates... Oh my God. This is like going the distance with Clubber Lang and Drago before breakfast!! This is an amazing workout but definitely not for the faint of heart.

"I've lifted weights I have boxed, wrestled, Track and field, played football and many other sports... But this workout pushes you to the limit... And beyond! @sophiastallone (sic)."
