Can Reformer Pilares reduce your waistline?
Before we find out how it’s possible to thin the waist with Reformer Pilates, it’s necessary to understand how all the musculature in this region works.
One of the main goals of the Pilates method is the activation of the Powerhouse (force center) to promote spinal stability during the exercises. And the Powerhouse includes the transverse muscles of the abdomen, diaphragm, pelvic floor and multifidus.
During Reformer Pilates classes, clients need to contract the abdomen at the time of greatest effort. The action allows you to better shape and define the abdominal region and the waist, promoting an improvement in muscle definition in these regions. And that’s why many people turn to the method to reduce the waist line, but it’s worth saying that just Pilates can’t work any miracles!
How to reduce your waist line?
To lose fat and considerably reduce your waist line you need a balanced diet and perform combined physical activities, besides speeding up your metabolism. After all, you need to find balance, eating less than you exercise so that you don’t accumulate fat, especially localized fat.
However, Reformer Pilates is an efficient activity in reducing the waist, that’s because throughout the Pilates session, studies show that the practitioner has a higher energy expenditure, as the exercises demand a higher physical effort.
For example, Pilates exercises that have sit-ups, boards or adaptations with movements of the lower and upper limbs are the best for reducing the waist, as they require great physical effort and breakdown the fat molecules.
There is no doubt: the Reformer Pilates can contribute to reducing the waist. But we always recommend that the client needs to have a healthy diet, not ingesting more than your caloric expenditure.
Also, it’s important to have a qualified and experienced Pilates professional to create a specific exercise plan, so you can achieve your goal naturally and as healthy as possible.
