Recent years hot yoga (hot yoga) gained wide popularity all over the world. It is believed that the exercises performed in a very hot room, more effective for weight loss. So, because of the high temperature and abundant sweating, a person loses weight faster by burning calories. When this happens, the purification and removal of toxins from the body.
Whether sweating really makes the workout more effective, the author of the article, Alison Feller, published on the portal, tried to find out. Well and good.
The author writes that she loved to go to the usual yoga, which relaxed her, but she did not feel the lesson as a full-fledged workout. Everything changed when Alison tried hot yoga.
“This is a completely different story. I fell in love with the Lyons Den Power Yoga studio. ”
She claims to have gotten a tougher and more enjoyable workout by sweating during the session. The author turned to the experts with the question: Does sweating make a workout more effective? It turned out - not really.
According to the founder of the studio City Coach Multisport in New York by Jonathan Kane, sweat is not an indicator of training effectiveness.
"Sweating is your body's way of cooling itself, and it largely depends on the conditions in which you exercise," he said.
He added that people sometimes get confused because there is a temporary weight loss associated with sweating.
“But since it’s just a“ body of water, ”it doesn’t indicate fat loss, and weight loss will last until the first water intake. Sweating is not correlated with weight loss, ”Kane said.
Sounds quite logical, writes Alison. But she is still concerned about why she feels, that practiced more effectively with hot yoga than normal.
According to the founder Refine method, the former ballerina Brynn Putnam, you should not evaluate the success of the sweating workout.
“Of course, in a heated studio, you will sweat, but this is due to your metabolic processes, and not burning calories or building muscle,” she stated.
Sweat alone is not an indicator of how hard someone is working, the article notes. The main thing is that sweat helps to remove toxins from the body. Some research shows that sweating actually helps control mood and a sense of well-being.
