Pilates & Weight Loss

Pilates is definitely effective for weight loss. Despite what you may have heard, Pilates exercise can provide an aerobic workout that burns fat and tones muscle at the same time. All you have to do is speed up the pace of a typical Pilates routine, which is exactly what many instructors have done. "Cardio Pilates" classes are popping up in gyms all over the country as are video-based routines that focus on weight loss. Mari Winsor and Suzanne Deason are two fitness "gurus" who have created very effective and popular Pilates weight loss routines.

Mari Winsor's Winsor Pilates program is designed to help you get toned and sculpted while shedding body fat and losing inches quickly. The program features a "dynamic sequencing" system that takes you through several effective Pilates routines at a relatively rapid - but very enjoyable - pace. Mari also uses "virtual 3-D training" to show the proper way to do each movement. Overall, the Winsor Pilates weight loss program has proven to be extremely effective for most of the people who try it.

Suzanne Deason's Pilates for Weight Loss program is another popular weight loss program based on Pilates Method exercise. Suzanne and her two assistants demonstrate three highly effective fat-burning workout variations that focus on muscular isolation and breathe awareness. The system is designed to help your body return to its "natural weight" quickly and safely.

It's true, 'typical' Pilates workouts are a bit too slow to be effective for weight loss - mainly because they don't get your heart rate up enough to significantly increase metabolism. But a trend among Pilates instructors is to pick up the pace of their workouts in order to increase their fat-burning effectiveness. The Winsor Pilates and Pilates for Weight Loss programs are two great examples of this. If you're interested in getting fit, feeling better, being healthier, and losing weight Pilates exercise may be the "complete solution" you're looking for!
