    This is one of the most disturbing images I've ever seen.

    *shudder*

    Don't wear a vinyl suit. It just makes you sweat more, and it probably makes your workout less effective because you get overheated. Try HIIT exercises or another sort of shorter but effective workout.

    You could just...you know....pee...

    Yep, it makes you lose water. When doctors say the best way to be healthy is sweat I don't think they mean like that, I think they're implying exercise which is good for the body. If you ask me vinyl suits are bad. It makes you lose water weight only, water that would regularly be helping you repair muscles and the like in a healthy body, particularly when at a calorie deficit. I'd avoid them like the inconvenient plague.

    You wasted your money. Yes it makes you sweat but that is not losing weight. It can cause mineral depletion. If could cause dehydration on a hot day. There are no short cuts to losing weight and exercising. If you have a limited time, do mostly strength training and fill in with cardio before and after. Your wallet does look thinner...

    You lose water weight that's regained when you drink water again. You don't "detoxify" yourself since toxins through diet and exercises are a myth anyway.
    What could be dangerous is that you can get heatstroke due to your body NOT being able to cool itself properly.

    All it does is make you lose extra water weight, which you gain back when you rehydrate.

    If you want your workout to be more productive, I recommend working out harder.
    It is known.

    The act of sweating doesn't burn a ton more calories or make you lose more weight (actual body fat) than your actual workout. Make sure you are rehydrating and getting enough electrolytes to replace what you've needlessly lost using that suit. Coconut water is a great source of potassium.

    It was great for making weight for a wrestling weighin. Other than that, its useless.

    Iocaine powder residue. Can't be too careful.

    I have built up an immunity to iocane powder, so I guess I have nothing to worry about.

    ^^This^^

    I used to see our wrestling team guys in high school and Jr high train in those before weigh-ins. Why not try HIIT? That's pretty intense and is a good use of time.
