    Does make me wonder if ambient heat, and things such as breathing hotter air, is a different effect than a gel warming your body, in a colder environment

    Because if you burn more calories being hotter, than that could give some validation to some of these creams maybe
    You've obviously never been to Samoa or Micronesia.

    Hmmm, I meant scientifically what the difference is, although perception may play a role

    I've been to hot countries, and excercising during the hottest part of the day usually isn't recommended, by the locals. Tend to exercise in the morning or evening

    However, even then some areas might be a more ideal heat to train in to get maximum effects than others, if heat plays a role as some claim

    So, from what I understand from this topic I should excercise in a sauna, followed by excercise in an ice bath, followed by putting on fat cream with the cooling down excercise, and if I haven't dropped dead from heat stroke or heart attack, which appears likely, I should lose some extra fat (exact percentage unknown)

    Where do I sign up?

    lolz

    /sarcasm (for the Americans, before someone tries to microwave this comment)

    Sidenote: a microwave could melt fat, but would be dangerous to your health

    Easy now. Someone desperate enough may actually follow that program due to lack of knowledge. :D
