Is Pilates enough to lose weight?

While Pilates can help improve overall fitness and contribute to weight loss, it is not typically considered a primary form of exercise for weight loss. Pilates can help build strength, improve flexibility, and enhance body awareness, which can support a healthy lifestyle that includes weight loss. However, Pilates alone may not burn enough calories to result in significant weight loss unless it is combined with a healthy diet and other forms of exercise that are specifically geared toward burning calories, such as cardiovascular exercise. If weight loss is a primary goal, a well-rounded fitness routine that includes Pilates as well as other types of exercise and a healthy diet is typically recommended.
