1. Is Pilates effective in losing weight?
Pilates is an aerobic exercise. Compared with yoga, Pilates moves more and is more athletic, so the weight loss effect is better. Moreover, the replacement frequency of Pilates movements is high, which can consume calories and burn fat in this process. But also can improve people's metabolic ability and make people consume more calories. Pilates is rich in movements, including partial weight loss movements, which can be used to exercise various parts of the human body and shape a perfect figure curve. So Pilates is very effective for slimming and shaping.
2. How to lose weight effectively?
(1) and other sports
Pilates can be combined with some other sports, or you can choose some aerobic sports, such as jogging. You can do pilates after jogging for half an hour. It can relieve muscle tension during running. Jogging and Pilates are aerobic exercises, which can burn fat and increase weight loss.
(2) Choose to do Pilates in the morning.
If you want to lose weight and get in shape, I suggest you practice Pilates at this time in the morning, which can improve your metabolism and increase your consumption. If you do Pilates at night, you can only increase the consumption for one night, and the weight loss effect is not so strong.
3. What should Pilates pay attention to when losing weight?
Don't eat for 45 minutes before and after Pilates.
Don't eat 45 minutes before Pilates or 45 minutes after Pilates, because Pilates has a lot of abdominal movements, and practicing after eating will cause indigestion in the stomach and affect the abdominal muscles. In Pilates practice, a large amount of blood acts on muscles, while organs such as stomach and intestines are contracting. In addition, sympathetic nerve is excited during exercise, adrenaline secretion is increased, gastrointestinal peristalsis is weakened and digestive gland secretion is relatively reduced. This state needs to rest for a while to recover. So it's best not to eat for 45 minutes after practice.
4. Try not to do Pilates during menstruation.
It is best for women not to do pilates within 3 days of excessive physiological period. Because Pilates is an exercise that needs to mobilize abdominal muscles.
5, pay attention to adjust breathing
Breathing speed is consistent with exercise. Exhale during exercise, inhale during rest, and breathing with action will make the exercise smoother.
6. Pay attention to the speed of action
The slower Pilates moves, the better. Try to extend the completion time of each movement, so that you can consume more energy and lose weight better.
7. Warm reminder
When practicing Pilates, you should first pay attention to your clothes. Generally speaking, we should wear loose clothes, take off our shoes and socks and practice on the mat. When you exercise, you can practice in a small place, not limited by space. The practice time should be determined according to your own situation, and each practice must be 45 minutes-1 hour. Do not eat 45 minutes before exercise, and eat 40 minutes after exercise.
