INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that regular Pilates practice reduces belly fat in adult women compared with no exercise?
Unclear. Several small studies and one popular article report that Pilates reduces BMI, body fat percentage, or waist circumference in women, but none directly measures belly fat against a no-exercise control in adult women, so the evidence only partially covers the claim.
