Sauna Suit

Have you ever use sauna suit?

They're good for raising your body temp (not too high, be careful) so they'll help any body process that benefits from that. A few xtra pounds of water, excreting toxins, "sweating out a cold", that kind of thing. I use various neoprene compression supports for my crickety-crackety old joints.

I use them to cut weight for competition. I can't see why anyone not involved in a weight class sport would use one.

@ maxaeyes what you tell me what brand gear do you get it from? Yea the neoprene were the best material. How much water weight did you lose 1 day and it hard to tell how much you lose the body fat even you losing the water weight at the same time :/

@ pest is depend on there schedule. But the main are the penis workout for them.

I use one everyday when I do a high rep workout. They are great for ridding the body of water weight. Try it and take it slow starting out. You will feel great !!!!!

have to remember guys water weight affects more muscle then fat, so may not be the best approach to losing bodyfat.

I've got fairly advanced Degenerative Joint Disease, so I use the various neoprene wraps for compression, heat retention, pain relief and "massage".
Back when I was active duty and wrestling with their idiotic "body-fat" measurements I'd use a pair of compression shorts to squeeze an extra coupla inches off my waist measurement when PT test season came.
I never was much on measuring my body dimensions, performance always meant more for me.

Any good sporting goods store should have a good selection.

Couldnt agree more! A suana suit forces WATER out of you. This is a huge no-no! There is PLENTY of info if you do a google search on Dangers of Sauna suits. They do not help you lose fat, just water. Intensity of a workout gets rids of BF over time. "Creating a bigger engine" making your body a caloric burning machine. Just cause you can sweat your ass off with a suana suit, this has zero effect on turning you into a calorie burning machine.

Bingo. The only other use is I guess when people want to sweat an illness/toxin out.


I wouldn't advise using them during a heavy workout. You want to keep those fluids.

Here's a damn good article from good ol' Doc Mercola. He's usually got right spot on info and I take his advice with a lot of credibility.
