Is hot pilates good for weight loss?

My friend just started hot pilates classes and she's really praising it for weight loss. I'm looking for a new workout, so I was wondering if hot pilates is actually effective for shedding kgs.

With PCOS, high-temperature workouts like hot pilates can sometimes spike cortisol levels, which might actually hinder weight loss for some of us. It is a great workout, but please listen to your body and maybe ask your doctor if it is suitable for your hormone balance.

I really want to try hot pilates for weight loss, but I am so scared of getting dehydrated or fainting in that hot room. Has anyone else felt dizzy during the class? It seems very effective but my anxiety is making me hesitate so much.

I went for one hot pilates session and my heart rate went up so fast, I had to walk out. Does everyone face this in the beginning, or is it just me? I am not sure if it is safe to continue for fat loss.

Hot pilates is fantastic for flexibility and burning calories, but most of the immediate weight you lose is just water sweat. Make sure you hydrate well and eat a clean diet alongside it. Start with normal pilates first if you are a beginner!

I ignored severe joint pain during heavy workouts thinking it was just normal muscle soreness, and ended up with a ligament tear. Hot environments can mask pain because your muscles are hyper-warm. Please get a physical checkup before starting intense programs like hot pilates.
