Pilate assures you to make you longer,leaner and more functional. In this assurance, weight loss is implied-but is it realistic to hope to drop weight with this mind body exercise? Yes, Pilates help you lose weight, – if you take up pilates for weight loss, but fail to leave junky eating habits and you continue to sit all the hours of the day, it will not affect the scale much. You must be diligent with pilates as with any other exercise. There is a possibility of some weight loss if you practice perfectly and enough to reap all the Pilates benefits. 

Pilates for Weight Loss: Does It Work?

Loss Of Weight In A Nutshell-

Weight loss is complicated, as it involves hormones and genetics. It can be boiled down to the simple principle of ” calories in versus calories out” . Try to consume fewer calories than you burn and you will lose Pounds. Some calories burn by Pilates but not as many as indoor cycling class or a vigorous run. A 150 pound woman in 50 minutes of Pilates, can expect to burn 210 to 360 calories. How many exactly depends on the intensity of the class-advanced practitioner burning more calories as they usually perform moves that require more energy and muscular work. You must burn 3500 calories more than you consume to lose a Pound of fat. Without changing your diet at all if you start Pilates at a beginning level, you might lose a Pound every 16 day or so and that’s assuming you practice Pilates everyday.

Cardio Workout Plan-

Augment pilate with some cardiac activity four to five times per week, to use it for a noticeable and more expedited weight loss plan. Study of 303 women published in clinical interventions in aging in 2014 revealed that a weight loss intervention of Pilates and aerobic exercise added lean muscle mass and reduced fat mass . For better results aim for at least 30 minutes per day or longer work out. A dance class, walking, elliptical training all count.

You will need to advance your pilates practice to intermediate or advanced level and commit to it four to five times per week for 45 to 50 minutes at a time, if you are averse to adding cardio to your  workout. Advanced practice includes heart pumping moves-like jackknife and side lift. The  practice time is in addition to the warm up and cool down.

Additional Benefit-

Although burning calories is essential for the weight loss equation, it’s not the only part. To rev your metabolism, build lean muscle and burn more calories all day long, whether you are performing your roll ups in class or just sitting at the computer. Pilates create lean muscle, especially in the core for the ‘powerhouse’ . Rollups, legs circles, teasers, the ab series and every other move works the muscles from hips to shoulders. It’s good to add  additional full body weight training workouts weekly to your Pilates routine to encourage the growth of even more lean muscle, if you are short on time, focus on muscles of lower legs, arms and shoulders.

Stand Straight To Appear Thinner-

Pilates make your muscles longer, you may hear that, but it isn’t really possible. Pilates can make your muscles appear longer. Standing up straight and tall becomes second nature, you appear thinner. The strong postural muscles you acquire through Pilates help to improve your body composition and you store less fat in your midsection.
