Can
weight loss pilates shed some body fat?
Weight
loss pilates is becoming an inquired weight
loss exercises
with the claims that pilate exercise system results to weight loss.
Pilates a physical exercise form developed by Joseph Pilates came from
the
shadows in the early 1980s as an exercise for the elite but is now
widely practiced.
One
of the major benefits of the exercise system is that it results to
weight loss. Consequently, people are looking to what is getting to be
known as "Weight Loss Pilate" to shed some weight.
Fat
Loss 4 Idiots (lose 40 lbs with Calorie Shifting )
does recommend
whatever form of exercising to boost permanent weight loss. It is often
harder to lose
weight without exercising for many people.
Joseph
Pilate, the developer of pilates was from England. He worked as a self
defense instructor for detectives of the famed Scotland Yard
Detectives. During the World War One, he developed an exercising regime
that would help injured and recovering soldiers preserve their much
needed muscle build and increase recovery time. This is what he went on
to refine to become the now famous pilate.
The
exercise regiment has even been used by dancers to enhance performance
due to its ability to train what are referred to as core muscles. It is
probably also good in improving your weight loss fitness.
Can You Lose Weight With Pilates?
Yes, pilates can lead to significant
weight
loss. As noted by
Fat
Loss 4 Idiots (lose 40 lbs with Calorie Shifting )
,
the sequence of events
that lead to
weight loss by pilates exercise is very similar to the weight
loss by strength training.
This
physical system involves gentle and flowing movements. The movements
are done while supporting either or a combination of lower back, hip,
buttocks or abdomen. And it engages muscles in all the areas. Infact it
targets very deep muscles, as deep as those directly attached to the
spinal cord.
And
as much as the movement may sound simple, the exercise can get
unbelievably strenuous. This is especially so if you consider there are
normally no weight included.
How
strenuous you ask?
Imagine
you are in a sitted position on the floor with legs moderately apart.
Then lift your legs slowly concentrating not to lose balance. The only
part of yourself that is supported is your buttocks as supported by the
floor. Lean backwards, to allow for the movement. Then with your hand
gently reach for your ankles, legs straight and not bent at the knee.
Arm straight and not bent at the elbow, then hold that
position.
Due
to the gentle movement of the exercise turn, most will not break into a
sweat. However it will “tear” your muscles enough
to strengthen them. The slow methodic and controlled lift of the legs
in the above movement will strengthen muscle in your back, thighs and
buttocks just to name a few. All this are large muscles that increase
in size to a small extent and tone to a large extent.
The
weight loss benefit comes from this strengthening of muscle tissue. As
muscle strengthen they also increase in size. Both these effects tend
to increase the BMR for up to 17 hrs from the time of training. Compare
this with the increased metabolism during and an hour after a weight
loss aerobic session.
Pilates
by the way is not exactly an aerobic exercise like running weight loss
or walking weight loss.
It is more of a
resistance training though it does involve deep methodical breathing.
But during a work out it doesn’t necessarily have the higher
calorie burn associated with aerobics. Consequently you will often be
advised to combine it with some aerobics for optimal weight
loss.
Weight
loss pilates is possible with as little as a matt and DVD all the way
to specialized equipments. But as recommended in
Fat

,
even with all weight
loss exercises,
you still need to combine them with a weight loss diet.
