How the Sweat Suit Works

Our Sweat Suit Design

Our Sweat Suits are designed to ensure minimal air flow is allowed in or out of the suit creating a rise in temperature within the Sweat Suit known as the "sauna effect" hence the suits are also referred to as Sauna Suits. Wearing the Sweat Suit in any form of physical activity will cause an increase in your body temperature causing your body to sweat.

The Science behind Sweat Suits

The misconception amongst people is the Sweat Suit will only help lose water weight. It is true the Sweat Suit will help lose water weight and this can be a great benefit to those that hold excess water weight but the Sweat Suit does so much more to battle weight loss.

The Sweat Suit accelerates weight loss during exercise by increasing your metabolic rate. This means not only does exercising in the Sweat Suit require more energy but the Sweat Suit stimulates your body to burn fat. This means that instead of using carbs or muscle tissue, fat is the fuel of choice, meaning you lose weight in an effective manner. It is fact that exercising in the heat really can "burn off" the pounds.

More Sweat Suit Use = More Sweat

The fitter and better acclimatised you become to exercising in warm conditions, the more readily you sweat due to better thermoregulation. This is great for athletes using the Sweat Suit to acclimatise to hotter climates and also means the more often you use the Sweat Suit the more you will sweat.

Losing Fat while you Rest

During the hour or two after exercise in the Sweat Suit, you continue burning calories faster than normal as your body pays of the oxygen debt, replenishes its energy reserves and repairs muscle tissue. The longer and more intense the work out in the Sweat Suit, the greater this "after burn" will be. This post exercise increase in Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is called the excess post exercise oxygen consumption or "after burn" and comes chiefly from the body fat stores.

Increases Health and Well Being

Sweating has proven its effectiveness in flushing out toxins and disease and maintaining optimal physical as well as mental health. Sweating helps the body cleanse itself and replace older dead cells and also sweat clears bacteria out of surface layers of the skin. The process of sweating helps improve circulation from the blood vessels, and gives the skin a fresh look and feel. It also helps to remove toxins from our body and other minerals and chemicals our body might have absorbed from the environment or from food or drink we've ingested.
