How Do Sauna Suits Work?

How effective sauna suits are?

A good sauna suit is good for your fitness program. Wearing a sauna suit in exercise can not only help you lose weight and burn fat, but also benefits for your body health.

Increase Body Heat Circulation & Lower Blood Glucose Level

Exercising in a sauna suit helps retain body heat to elevate your body temperature. With the rising of temperature, the metabolism and pulse rate increase to accelerate blood circulation. And the improvement of blood circulation benefits your body extremities.

Moreover, due to the body temperature increasing, the HSP or heat shock protein will be released to lower blood sugar levels.

Higher VO2max

The VO2max (is used to measure the maximum oxygen volume for exercise and an indicator of aerobic fitness level) will be improved when doing exercises with a sauna suit. A study indicates that there will be an 11.7% increase in VO2max for a workout in a sauna suit.

Lose Weight & Burn Fat

 Sauna suits do contribute to a short-term or long-term weight loss. A rapid weight loss can be done via exercising in a sauna suit by getting body water loss from profuse sweat. Long-term weight loss needs a regular fitness routine.  

Also, a new research proves that the body fat of exercisers wearing sauna suits is decreased more than those without wearing sauna suits. And the fat oxidation also achieved a significant improvement.

Therefore, wearing a sauna suit to exercise can not only help lose weight, but also burn fat or calories.

Takeaway

If you are seeking an effective way to get a rapid weight loss, you can workout wearing a sauna suit.

Although sauna suits have lots of benefits, they also have risks. Exercising in a sauna suit should take moderate exercise as a prerequisite. The vigorous exercise in a sauna suit for a long time is not recommended, which will result in risks of dehydration and rhabdomyolysis.
