Abstract: We show that the elastic energy $E(gamma)$ of a closed curve $gamma$ has a minimizer among all plane simple regular closed curves of given enclosed area $A(gamma)$, and that the minimum is attained for a circle. The proof is of a geometric nature and deforms parts of $gamma$ in a finite number of steps to construct some related convex sets with smaller energy.
