I'm just asking out of curiosity, when it's 100 billion degrees outside and you immediately sweat just by breathing, do you burn extra calories? If so, I should be losing a few pounds this weekend. I'm in Nebraska and we're in a heat advisory until Tuesday. I know the majority of the country is in the same position. All we can do is guzzle water!

I searched this online the other day... The answer I got was no. However, I use a HRM and when I workout outside my heartrate is higher and I personally burn more calories. I would say that makes it a yes. All your systems have to work harder in 100 degree weather. I know if I walk the dog at 70 it is less of a burn than say 95 in the sun.0
