How many calories does pilates burn

An hour of pilates burns about 220 kcal if you weigh around 70 kg.

An hour long class

30 minutes on the mat110 kcal
An hour long class220 kcal

That's about

1Croissant
1Beer

These numbers are for an adult of about 70 kg. Weigh more and you burn more, weigh less and it's a bit less.

Half an hour is about 110 kcal and an hour is 220. That's less than running, and that's fine, because it's not really what pilates is for.

It builds strength in your core and makes everything else feel easier, from carrying the shopping to your next run. Reformer classes tend to be a bit harder than mat work.

Tips

  1. 1Do a 20 minute video at home on the days you can't get to a class.
  2. 2Pair it with a walk to and from the studio for a bit more.
  3. 3Book a block of classes. Paying up front gets you through the door.
