Will Pilates help with weight loss? A very good question and the answer is suprisingly - Yes.

It is reasonably common knowledge nowadays that aerobic exercise is a big fat burner however one often omited part of the equation is that lean muscle burns fat. There is also an old saying that if you want to burn fat you must pump iron.

Pilates actually gives the best of both worlds in that it is very technique oriented so that longer muscles will be gained that are efficient at burning fat.

Of course weight loss is really about balancing the input and output of your body, but having muscles that are lean and have been exercised through the whole range of movement will leave your body in a great position to be burning fat effectively.
