I've spoken to some of his students now teachers. Everyone has nothing but positive things to say. But yeah I've heard.0 -

I can post what I please. I don't want the negativity. It wasn't the purpose of the discussion. Have a wonderful day.0 -

People, the OP asked a simple question. In the spirit of community and courtesy, I think you should either answer the question to the best of your ability, or ignore the thread.
You are wantonly criticizing what she likes to do. We could do that with any form of exercise (weightlifting doesn't get your heart rate up like running! Too much running makes it hard to maintain muscle!) and we all probably do some rather hokey stuff.
If she likes to jump around in a hot room because the intense sweating feels good and cleansing, who am I to criticize? (And who are you?)
Heck, I love a spin class. But all that pedaling? I get nowhere. I stay in exactly the same place. Now, isn't that rather silly?11 -
any type of HOT exercise is NOT for me. I would pass out. I need a cool room thanks! I do enjoy HIIT workouts though.0

A lot of people have done exactly that. And they got attacked for it.
There's a world of difference between answering a simple question to the best of one's ability, and telling a person what they want to hear instead of telling them the truth.
This thread has been a disasterpiece theater. Sadly, it happens regularly in here.8 -
Not everyone is criticizing her exercise choice in and of itself. Many are pointing out that things she may think are beneficial to exercising in that environment, aren't actually true.6

We can agree to disagree. I'm open but very few provided any real insight. I get it, the hot room isn't for everyone. The thought alone seems to frighten many here0 -

Same here except I'm out due to knee issues right now...
It seems like a hot workout would be good for flexibility and for sweating (clear the pores) but is not going to burn extra calories. A cold room workout will probably burn more, but the question is how much more. It is honestly something that would need a true scientifically designed study done, and unless a major sport, or the USOC is going to pay for testing, it probably won't happen. The closest thing to a study is most likely the testing down around the ice vests that showed that users wearing one can slightly (only slightly) increase resting calorie burn due to having to warm up the body.1 -
Hot exercise has been shown to be less effective than exercise performed at normal or low temperatures. You feel like you're getting a great workout because of all the sweat, but in reality you're doing much less work then you would be at a normal temperature. The only reason to do hot exercises is to acclimate to a hotter environment. Otherwise you're doing yourself a big disservice.
If you want to detox via sweating, then read a paper in the sauna. That won't mess up your workouts.8 -

Increased heart rate is a result of cardio exercise.. But it's the exercise that burns the calories, not just sitting there with an increased heart rate.

OP, "HOT HIT" is a class name, not an exercise. You need to know the exercises & weight & age of person to get the best calorie burn. Most numbers are overrated. You can use circuit training or calisthenics and cardio entries in the MFP database as an estimate. You could ask the instructor who knows exactly what exercises are being done and how the class is formatted. Then reduce either number by 50%. That's what I would do.4

A lot of people have answered the question to the best of their ability. Some of the answers don't line up with the answer the OP wanted but that doesn't make them discourteous. If calorie burn is the goal and people point out that working out in a hot room leads to less effective workouts despite how good it feels to sweat, that seems like a helpful post.6 -
