ok I have an odd question...while working out does anyone wrap their abs in suran wrap?? :confused2: I see a few women at my gym that do this and being the odd duck that I am I wanted to try it. so I was just wondering if anyone does it and what does it do for you? does it help you suck it in? help lose weight in that area? can I do this with my thighs also?

lots of silly questions I know but if anyone has done this or knows anything about it I would appreciate the info.

My mom used to do this while she was working out, something about making you sweat more, or something of that nature, shoot, why not try it out, if it makes a difference, let me know.

I also had a friend would would buy like plastic suits to wear under her work out clothes, again, designed to make you sweat more.

I dont know what the validity of those claims are, but its very interesting.

Saran Wrap insulates you while you exercise, basically dehydrating yourself. People use it as a very temporary spot treatment, e.g. on the upper arms before an evening in a strapless gown. You "sweat off inches" (as it's advertised at the spas that offer it for about $150 a pop), but drink a glass of water and those inches come right back. :biggrin:

ahhhh i knew it helped you sweat more but i was thinking maybe it helped with the toning in the area. ehhh i may try it just to see how i feel
