 A question I'm asked frequently! Will Pilates Help Me Lose Weight?

11/11/2013

Speaking from personal experience and observation over the course of many years, I can say with some certainty that anyone who commits to Pilates workouts will create a trimmer appearance, and most can lose significant weight if combined with a bit of cardio and especially a healthy diet also. Exercise burns calories. How many calories you burn depends on your body type, your level of exertion and your eating patterns. Pilates is classified as a fantastic metabolism booster which will help you burn the calories. Pilates is famous for creating long, lean, fit bodies. There are many ways that doing Pilates supports weight loss and a trimmer appearance. Creating lean muscle mass, as Pilates does, is one of the best ways to increase your calorie-burning potential. Pilates tones and shapes the body. One of the best ways to look and feel thinner is to have beautiful posture. Pilates creates a leaner look by emphasising both length and good alignment. Engaging in an exercise program, like Pilates, promotes self-esteem and heightened lifestyle consciousness. Both are associated with weight loss. Pilates is an enlivening workout that can help sustain energy levels throughout  your day. However, it is not usually done as aerobic exercise. Therefore, most people enjoy combining Pilates with aerobic/cardio exercise  in order to maximise their weight loss. Those  who know me  know that  Pilates but also fitness and healthy nutrition are a passion of mine. I help clients chose a lifestyle that has a realistic achievable and successful approach. 90% of weight loss is diet and a good start is to cut out  fad diets, stop swapping and cutting out certain foods frequently. Eat a clean diet at least 80 % of the time, allow yourself a treat and don't beat your self up when you do. Find an exercise routine that suits you in terms of enjoyment and timing. In my experience Pilates is a great point to start! Do all this and you are on the road to achieving your goal and feel the energy levels boost again! I've helped many clients who have doubted they would ever get their "Fitness Mojo!" back and through starting Pilates and building on from there they have reached their goals. Follow my blogs and also  attend my classes - then you'll get the nutrition tips too. I look forward to sharing my nutrition tips and recipes with you also along with the amazing results Pilates can give you!
