running with cellophane

FearAnLoathing

I dont consider it running more like skippining in slow motion

Nobody here has even thought that it could help slightly by raising your body temp? Yes, you'll lose water weight of course, but I believe you'll also be able to burn more calories (probably not a whole lot) just by raising the body temp, and the energy your body uses to keep cool. This is also why I wear a light sweatshirt even when it's a little warm out.

Just think about it.

The increase in temperature would be inconsequential, as would any additional calorie burn. Wrapping oneself in cellophane to burn 4 more calories during a workout is ridiculous.

In fact, I doubt that it would help at all, but rather, possibly negatively impact your performance, making your workout LESS effective. When people feel overheated, they tend to slow down.

Yeah I've been wrapped in cellophane. I'm into all sorts of things.




Oh wait for weight loss? No. That's just weird.

I believe the conclusion was the possible additional calories burned would be so minimal, it really wouldn't have much of an effect. I'll take avoiding dehydration over minimal extra calories burned. I've done dehydration, not fun.

Every little bit helps.

That being said, I'd much rather choose a sweatshirt over cellophane. :glasses:

It only makes you sweat more, which will help for SHORT TERM weight loss... like if you need to meet a weigh-in goal.

Yup, although someone above suggested a number of 4 extra calories, even if we upped it to 10, that would only be 350 uncomfortable runs to burn off an extra pound.
Or I could run up and down the porch steps a couple of times prior to going and be much more comfortable during my run.

(that is ignoring the other point that they made about not working as hard due to overheating)

I thought my ex was the only one who like when I wrapped.......I think I've said to much.

I'm pretty sure if I ran with to over my face it would hinder my breathing.

^This made my co-worker look over at me and start laughing at the fact that I was giggling so hard

Helps only if you're trying to make a lower weight class for a match.

Don't. You have pores in your skin for a reason. Use em.
