Today at the gym I saw a woman working out. She used the weights first. Then she goes over to the shelves where people keep stuff (cubbie boxes instead of lockers) and pulls out a black garbage bag. It has arm holes and a head hole. She puts it on over her t shirt, puts on a long sleeve sweat shirt, and puts on a knitted winter hat. (It's summer here btw) Then she jumps on the treadmill. That can't be a good idea. Thoughts?

Trying to sweat off weight. Homemade sauna suit. Never seen someone do it but yeah, I'd have a hard time not laughing out loud at her.0

She wants to sweat. False impression of weight loss, don't do it, lol!0

She made her own sweatsuit. I would never do that, just so I could sweat more? I'd be afraid of heat exhaustion or dehydration. That sounds very dangerous.0

maybe she was trying to beat a drug test0

My son did that years ago to drop weight to play on the City Football league. It worked for him. He lost enough to get on the team and then the practices and playing kept him on track.
He did not wear a sweat shirt over it and wore shorts. I would die if I were to do that.0 -

That's cool if you're a boxer trying to cut a couple pounds real quick to make weigh-in. Otherwise it's just stupid. Heat is the enemy of muscle recovery. Why the heck does your body even sweat when it's working hard? Why? Because a cooler body works better and can burn energy easier. Your body has complex systems to ensure that it stays at around 98 degrees. I guess all of the sudden this lady knows better. She'll weigh less till she gets a drink of water after working out. Stupid is as stupid does. :laugh:
Someone go outside and disconnect the radiator on her car and see how much better her car runs when it overheats.0 -
Wrestlers use it for cutting water weight, that or vinyl suits. Why someone who doesn't do competitive sports with weight classes would do it, I couldn't tell you.0

At one gym I used to go to, a pretty skinny, older guy used to wear a sweat suit and birkenstocks to the gym and he'd workout in the weight room. Was an interesting sight to see.0
