Pilates mainly targets core muscles such as the waist, abdomen, and back. exercise , yoga has postures for various parts.
The muscle control requirements of Pilates are quite strong, if you want to meet the standards; for yoga, it is coordination.
Dear, if the base is relatively large, I suggest you start with something easier like brisk walking. After your muscles have been strengthened to a certain extent, will it be better if you practice Pilates or something like that? You can try it and feel it.
Also, Pilates and yoga are both muscle training, and the oxygen consumption is worse than brisk walking. However, if you persist for a long time, your metabolism will increase a lot. However, muscle strength and volume do not increase so quickly. It is the kind of exercise that requires a longer period of time before the effect will be good.
Can you lose weight by practicing Pilates? Take a look at the following points and you will learn it.
back exercise
Lie on your stomach, raise your upper body and lower limbs at the same time, and alternately kick your legs and arms, like a swimming kick.
Point your fingertips forward in the same direction as your toes, push your hips upward, and keep your body straight.
Inhale, kick one leg up, keeping your butt from falling. Exhale and slowly return to the ready position.
waist exercise
In preparation, arch your upper leg, place your foot in front of your lower leg, and place your arms on your knees.
Support with straight arms, keep your body in a straight line, extend your arms at an angle of 45 degrees, and exhale.
abdominal exercises
Lie flat on the mat, stretch your arms above your head, clamp your ears with your arms, bend your knees, place your feet on the ground, and inhale. (Note: Close your mouth and inhale through your nose)
Exhale through your mouth and slowly sit up in a controlled manner, tightening your abdomen and keeping your feet from the ground.
Keep your back straight, shoulders down, and inhale. (When exhaling, the body returns to its original state, and the movements should be slow and controlled)
hip movement
Exhale, relax your shoulders, straighten your lower leg, push your toes on the ground, raise your upper leg to the same height as your hip joint, and kick forward once to vibrate.

Practicing Pilates should be regarded as a long-term work, and do not give up halfway.
