work out clothes

Lilacdawn Posts: 44 Joined: 2005/03/17	2005/03/25, 02:42 AM i notice some people wear sweats while working out at the gym, hoodies even. is it safe? wouldnt you get over heated? does it do something for weight loss? or does it make people sweat more, which isnt supposed to help with weight loss! i guess i could pose this about the little outfits too, should some of your body heat be retained...i just wear a light t-shirt and stretchy workout pants. but i think of these things while i am working out...LOL -------------- www.thesoulcharmer.com

Water weight is easily put back on once you are no longer dehydrated. Also depending on your level of fitness the heat from sweats and vigourus excersize could be a bad combo. Another reason for sweats is also to help keep muscles warm while working out. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored.

But at the time it was better to work out and eat right on my budget than it was to have "work out gear" on a not-so-hot body. I sport track pants now tho, cuz it breathes more.

So the more breathable the clothing, the more are cooling system will work. Some people do feel cold after the training, thats when the sweats fit in. Again it is also a confidence/security "thing" with some. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press.

Personally I think sweat is just the bodies radiator......anything else, is just an "old wise tale" -------------- " The only true eye, is your minds eye"- plato
