i bought a sauna suit at wallyworld to wear while working out. you know, the kinda plastic/vinyl shirt and pants that make you sweat. i am wondering how much it really helps. i know that i am drenched, literally, drenched, can ring out my shirt and pants that i wear under it when i am done on the treadmill. i vary walking and jogging for 25 minutes. anyone else ever tried them?

I never tried it but doesn't it just make you lose water? Can't you get dehydrated from it?

yeah, i dont really know to be honest. i think so. i have just made sure i am drinking extra water through the day.

A sauna suit really just makes you lose Water weight. You will gain most of it back when you drink after the workout.

It will cause you to burn a few more calories because you are basically overheating yourself, but I doubt the benefits are that good. It might make you retain more water and not lose weight at all.

I used to wear them in wrestlig years ago. I was told they can be dangerous because when you sweat your body is cooling itself. When you wear them your sweat doesnt evaporate and can cause heat stroke. Dont know if its true but seems logical. And as someone said I believe your losing water weigh. We did this to cut weight quickly before weigh-ins. I would check with dr. Hope this helps.
