Does it make a difference to be working out in heated environments, making you sweat more?

This could be from wearing more layers of clothes, to simply working out with a heater on.

Or does it simply dehydrate you quicker with no great benefit?

  • I dont like to workout when its hot cuz i cant seem to get moving..i stopped working out durring the summer months cuz it was just way to hot for me..i felt like i was dehydrated and i felt like i was over heating even tho i would drink a ton of water durring my workout session so i personally dont workout in the heat..these winter months r great for me cuz i can sweat and not feel like im over heating..this is just my personal veiw on it but i hope i was of some help..take care and good luck..u CAN do this!!
  • To be honest, I don't particularly like it, but it's easily tolerated if I know it comes with greater results.

    All it really does is help you lose water weight which, if you drink water, comes right back. However, things like Bikram Yoga which is in a heated room are useful in getting your muscles loose. =)

    It's going to dehydrate you and you probably won't last as long nor have as good of a workout because you're uncomfortable.
