Weight loss occurs when the body expends more calories than consumes. Since muscle is an active tissue, it requires energy (calories) to perform its functions. By building and toning muscle mass, you increase your metabolic rate, thereby burning a greater number of calories, even at rest. Weight loss is most successful when an exercise program combines a healthy diet, aerobic activity, and strength training. Strength training, particularly Pilates, can enhance weight loss and also make your daily living tasks more efficient.
