For pilates, general, which is a typical intensity activity under the general description of pilates activities, the average calories burned by a person weighing 190 pounds (86 Kg) in 30 minutes is 129 Calories. In one hour the same activity will burn 259 Calories.

Some of the Pilates exercises require a high intensity of muscle contraction, that you would describe as a resistance exercise. In my personal experience, Pilates does help with fat-loss. I have had several clients lose weight - including fat from their abdominals, thigh and buttocks - from the practice of Pilates. I, also, have personally experienced a change in physique from the practice of Pilates.
