his challenge is beginner friendly for individuals with weight loss goals and strength goals. In this video I discuss:

-The different types of pilates and how my workouts are contemporary/fitness pilates. This challenge is the right fit for you if you are not looking for classical pilates workouts.
-How my workouts are pilates based and incorporate elements from strength training from my degree in exercise science to create quick and effective workouts (see article 1 below)
-What exercise science principles I had in mind when designing these workouts to make them more effective at building strength than many of the pilates workouts you will find on YouTube (see article 2)
-A step by step guide of how to download the challenge calendar, find the workouts and begin the challenge.
A discussion about Pilates and weight loss (please see references below) and why I've changed my mind about discussing weight loss. While I've never mention weight loss in the past, I've realized it is an important goal for many of you in my community. I want to do a better job of guiding you within my scope of practice and providing resources that are evidence-based to help support you in the best way possible. I do see a need for free higher quality content for individuals who do have weight loss goals.My commitment to you:
-To continue my education in exercise science to create evidence-based routines that help with the fitness piece of your weight loss journey.
-To share more about my own journey with health/weight loss and my perspective on training for aesthetics to provide a more "gray space" in what can feel like very black/white debate about weight loss and aesthetic goals in diet vs anti-diet/body positivity culture.
To provide more content as it relates to changing behaviors- what science says about how to make changes, being consistent (see article 3) and what has helped me personally.

Additional reading about Pilates, resistance training and effective strategies for weight loss:

Article 1:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science...

Summary: The effect of Pilates on the body composition of healthy individuals is uncertain. For me, this shows justification to add resistance training to Pilates workouts if weight loss is a goal for you.

Article 2:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37028...
Summary: In this study the most effective strategy for weight loss was dietary restriction, resistance training, and high protein.

Article 3:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
Summary: highlights the importance of goal setting, weighing, self monitoring and social reward for individuals with weight loss goals.
