Pilates can help you acheieve your weight loss goals in several ways. One is in creating lean muscle mass to increase your calorie-burning potential. "Pilates is strength training. We work with resistance to increase strength and hence, muscle mass. Using springs and different apparatus to increase the load to the muscles, we can affect a metabolic increase by building lean muscle mass,” says Alycea Ungaro, owner of Real Pilates NYC.


One essential way to look and feel thinner is to hold your body with good posture. Pilates helps create better posture by firming the core all around including your abs and back. “All Pilates work is performed with proper alignment and attention to posture. By establishing optimal spinal alignment, you can facilitate better circulation, improved lymphatic flow and increased stamina of the muscles along the spine,” says Ungaro.  Toned spinal muscles help you shed weight by increasing metabolism, and will improve your overall look by improving your posture.
Pilates is all about core strength. The benefits of core strength go way beyond flat abdominals, but it is the flat ab results of doing Pilates that help make it as popular as it is. Your core is made up of not only your front and side abdominals, but your entire back as well. “Pilates teaches people how to use their abdominals correctly—how to contract the abdominal wall rather than let it distend. This simple mechanism can be used 24/7 in your daily life. That is the single reason that Pilates flattens abs so quickly,” says Ungaro. Both toned abs and a strong back have many benefits, such as helping to prevent injury, improve posture, reduce lower back pain and even promote regularity.

Toned core, strong back, increased metabolism — it’s easy to see how Pilates could make someone a bit more confident. “The benefits spill over into other aspects of your life. You will immediately stand taller, hold your waist tighter and feel stronger. This increased body awareness will make you less likely to indulge in unhealthy habits,” says Ungaro. Indulge—like that third or fourth cookie you had at last weekend’s barbeque? Use your newfound confidence to “tone” up your kitchen. Your local farmers’ market is full of healthy, edible inspiration that will make you think twice about the word “diet.” Seeing the incredible feats your body is capable of is incredibly motivating. You will have a new respect for your body and are more likely to take better care of it,” adds Ungaro.
