Burn more calories when hot

Wearing too warm of clothing while already increasing your body's temp due to exercise will only force unnecessary loss of water, resulting in dehydration, and the problems that can come from that. -------------- Michael Powerlifters - We eat raw meat, and sleep naked in the snow...

You are thinking along the right lines though. -------------- Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.
