sweatpants/sweatshirt? is there any advantage to doing cardio like this, as far as reducing body fat goes?

Good friend of mine used to workout extremely covered up (sometimes going as far as to wearing trash bags) It just helps you sweat more, but can be helpful in losing weight.
My friend lost over 70 pounds doing this and running 4-5 miles per day, 4-5 days a week

this will inrease weight loss via water weight, but will not have a noticable impact of actual fat loss...

but mixed with the actual running will have an impact on your appearance, showing more definition.

no, excessive sweating is not only dangerous but will cause more water to be pulled from your muscles to maintain a proper ratio of subcutaneous : intracellular water levels.

never do it...very dangerous

dont you burn more calories when you are cold because your body is trying to keep you warm?

I am not sure, but i'm leaning with that it will increase your metabolism but very,very slightly. Not worth putting yourself in that environment (who likes being cold [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

It increases it a very very large amount. But then again do you wanna risk hypothermia for losing weight?

I don't like to run with them because I don't seem to have the same range of motion. It may be a mental thing though.
