Pilates as part of weight management
Pilates can be an enjoyable way to stay active regularly. A routine you enjoy and can maintain may form part of weight management. Weight changes also depend on food, everyday activity, sleep and individual factors. Exercise can also serve goals such as strength, control and confidence.
Effort varies between workouts
Energy expenditure depends partly on exercise selection, duration, effort and your body. A calorie figure therefore does not apply to every Pilates class. You can complement Pilates with other suitable activity. A varied routine can allow room for strength, cardiovascular fitness and relaxation.
Hot Pilates and body & mind
For some women, Hot Pilates in a hot cabin offers an enjoyable moment of conscious movement. Your head stays outside. Choose suitable intensity and notice your response to warmth. Fluids and recovery belong in your routine. Your coach can also discuss other workouts.
Food and everyday habits
At bbb, we connect body, food & mind. Food coaching helps you consider everyday choices you can maintain alongside training. Regular meals, enough food and attention to sleep may form part of this. A dietitian is the appropriate professional for a medical diet or specific nutrition concerns.
