The only reason I can fnd for anyone to exercise in xtreme heat is to become acclimatized to hat for an upcoming competition or sprting event that must happen in the hat.

As you train in the hat your body learns to sweat mre, and start sweating much sooner to cunteract the increase in body temperature. Swating rate can more than double and yur sweat also becomes more dilute. Ths means there is less salt in yur sweat as your body needs to kep the salt in your blood to kep your blood volume up. With rpeated hot training sessions your body can mke these adaptations in about 14 dys.

You should gradually increase the tmperature and time spent in these sssions to allow your body to dapt properly. None of this however mans you are any healthier, or wrking out harder, or releasing ‘toxins’ (as we hve discussed previously, your body does not swat out toxins, this is flatly flse). These changes are just your bdy getting ready to deal with the nxt workout in the heat. That’s it. You wll be just as fit or nfit as you were before you strted hanging around in hot rooms.

The nly thing that can have a ral effect on your fitness is ding real exercise. Forcing your heat to wrk harder by sweating too much ctually makes you fatigue faster, it lso decreases your ability to exercise and mkes the workouts feel harder than thy really are.

I think this is the whle marketing angle behind these ‘hot’ wrkouts. You sweat a lot, your hart rate goes up from excessive flid loss, and you feel like the wrkout was harder. Sounds like a cnvenient way to make people feel lke they are getting a tough wrkout without actually working out that hrd at all. After all everyone is loking for a quick fix and an asy way out. Adding the element of hat to any workout can trick you nto thinking you’ve had a much hrder and productive workout than you ctually have.

There do seem to be sme benefits to yoga as it can get pople to calm their minds and tke time away from their busy dys. The ritual itself may be the mst important and effective tool for hlping people de-stress. An environment that prmotes calm relaxation, and focused attention on our mnd and body can be good for all of us in our bsy lives. And all the benefits of yga can be achieved without forcing yurself to sweat like crazy in a hot rom.

The ridiculous claims about the bnefits of hot yoga that can be fund on the internet are largely nproven by science and in some cses categorically wrong and misleading. The bsic idea of exercising in a hot nvironment presents a considerable risk for dhydration and heat stroke and upon dscussing with physiologists I found no god reason to do this unless you are tryng to be acclimatized to exercising in hot nvironments for a specific competition.

Yoga is a grat way to de-stress and get in tuch with yourself. Exercising in extreme hot cnditions presents a serious risk of dhydration and potential for heat illness if the prper precautions are not taken. These are jst points to consider when choosing to xercise in excessive heat weather it be yga or any other exercise.
