☆Weightloss☆
There is no quick fix when it comes to weight loss or any other health goal. If you want to achieve something, you need to work for it. Weight-loss comes down to 2 main things, energy in versus energy out. We need to be eating in a calorie deficit (energy in) and moving our bodies (energy out). In order to reach a calorie deficit, we need to burn more calories than what we consume, and that comes from moving our bodies more and eating less. However, we must make sure that the food we eat nourishes and fuels us, is high in protein to help with building lean muscle tissue, and keeps us full for prolonged periods of time. Any form of exercise you partake in is never going to outweigh a high calorie diet! Therefore, Pilates or any other form of exercise like strength training at gym, doing an exercise class, or going for a walk will not get you to your weightloss goal if you are eating more than what you are burning.
So, why do our Pilates classes if my goal is weight loss? Any form of movement is helping you burn calories ✅️ But our main goals are to help you gain awareness of your body and the way you move! Working on those strengths, and weakness that may be limiting you to moving more, creating whole body strength so you can move with ease, and feeling confident with movements that can be done in the gym, at home or any other environment that leads to burning calories. Not to mention guiding you to have more confidence in yourself! The stronger, more mobile, fitter, and confident you get, the more likely you will stick with moving your body to help with your overall health goal. Our intention is always to support our clients and help guide them to achieving something that is a PRIORITY to them. If something is a PRIORITY to you, you need to make sure you're doing that thing more than once or twice a week! Change comes with consistency and time 💕
Please note that other daily aspects in life such as sleep, hormonal health and regulation, hydration, stress, and other health conditions will also impact weight loss! Don't be hard on yourself if things aren't working as fast as you hoped, and give yourself love and time to reach your goals!
