Because Pilates strengthens your muscles, it can contribute to weight loss. Having extra muscle can help to boost your metabolism and burn more calories.
That being said, Pilates is not classified as an aerobic exercise. If you are hoping to lose weight, you will experience the best results when practicing Pilates in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular cardio (like walking, cycling, or swimming).
We always advise you to consult with a medical professional before beginning any workout or fitness routine, as they will know how to recommend the best options for your unique needs.
