07/13/2018 If you have decided to get rid of extra pounds without health risks, and are ready to get a beautiful and slender body in a short time, then a proven remedy will be a weight loss suit, in which you can carry out light physical activity.
EVERLAST Anti-Microbial sauna suit with hood
The excellent properties of a suit with a sauna effect help not only fight excess weight, but are also an excellent means for losing weight at home.
Of course, if you have at least once experienced the effect of a sauna for weight loss and felt how quickly subcutaneous fats melt after taking a Finnish sauna, after which you can fit into your favorite jeans or put on a suit and feel lightness in your body, then you will also be able to appreciate everything effective properties of the suit with a weight loss effect.
The moisture-resistant qualities of the thermal suit material completely isolate the skin from the external environment and accumulate heat underneath. However, if you do not make any movements in this suit, then by itself it will not create a sauna effect. Therefore, when putting on a sauna suit, you need to select the physical exercises that you will perform in it. In particular, you can run, jump, ride an exercise bike, walk on a treadmill, and perform other physical activities. At the same time, you should not use the suit to perform complex physical exercises that will create inconvenience or damage the suit.
Mechanism of weight loss
The sauna suit is made from a special material that prevents heat emanating from the body and moisture from penetrating through the fabric. They remain inside, causing profuse sweating, especially during sports. Tightness is ensured by special cuffs with elastic bands on the legs, sleeves and even the neck. They are tightened so that nothing can leak in or out. The created “greenhouse effect” allows you to:
- increase energy expenditure during training;
- remove waste, toxins, and “dead” (stagnant in tissues) water along with sweat;
- burn fat;
- get rid of swelling and cellulite.
About the same thing happens when wrapping with cling film. The difference is that you do not need to apply additional products to the skin and the clothing does not hinder movement or tighten the body.
Fitness trainers advise using such suits for weight loss only in certain cases:
- excess weight gained no more than 5 kg;
- it is dictated by the accumulation of excess water in the tissues, which needs to be removed;
- the athlete is drying his body in order to enter the desired weight category before the competition (read what drying is on this page);
- emergency weight loss is necessary before an important event.
If excess weight is dictated by internal diseases, slow metabolism, hereditary or hormonal factors, the sauna suit will be useless for weight loss. The same goes for obesity.
From the world of stars. A good advertisement for a suit with a sauna effect was once made by the famous gymnast Alina Kabaeva, who, according to her assurances, lost 10 kg with its help.
The best sauna suits for weight loss
Intense sweating has been used for weight loss for a long time. In the middle of the last century, people who wanted to lose weight wrapped themselves in film, put on warm clothes and went to the gym or to the treadmill. Due to physical activity, it became hot, sweat was released, along with which the body got rid of toxins and fluids.
Nowadays, the process has been improved and sauna suits made of fabric that does not allow air to pass through have begun to be used for weight loss. Sets of trousers and jackets create the same greenhouse effect during training, enhancing metabolic processes, breaking down fat and preventing the formation of cellulite.

In order to avoid complications and side effects, before purchasing and especially wearing a suit, you must obtain a doctor’s permission to do so. Especially in the presence of any chronic diseases.
If your health has noticeably worsened after using it, you should stop losing weight. Increased attention should be paid to the skin, which under the influence of sweat can become irritated and inflamed, leading to weeping ulcers.
Contraindications and restrictions on use
A sauna suit is a dangerous means of burning fat, so not everyone uses it. A sauna suit sometimes causes harm, and is especially dangerous for use by people with the following diseases:
- Hypertension;
- Varicose veins;
- Oncological diseases;
- Thrombophlebitis;
- Hematological diseases;
- Gynecological problems.
- Severe stage of obesity.
If you have skin sensitivity, the thermal suit also provokes side effects in the form of irritation, rash, itching, swelling and other manifestations.
People who do not have these medical conditions should also use thermal suits with care and caution. To begin with, training with it is 10 minutes, then, when the body adapts, you can increase the training to 30 minutes.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
- effectiveness: in 1 hour of intense training in the gym you can lose up to 2 kg;
- availability: there are budget models for $5;
- ease of use: put it on - work out - lose weight;
- models are stylish and fashionable.
Flaws:
- despite the promises of manufacturers, the suits do not have a fat-burning effect: weight loss occurs due to dehydration;
- weight loss results are not durable and are temporary;
- it is inconvenient to practice;
- the sauna suit must be washed after each workout, which negatively affects the material - it wears out faster;
- side effects are quite common;
- presence of contraindications.
On a note. According to research, in order to burn fat tissue using heat, it is necessary to warm the deep layers of the skin with a temperature of 50°C. Is it worth explaining that a sauna suit will not provide it? Not even all hardware techniques used in cosmetology and plastic medicine are capable of this.
Result
According to the instructions for use, the sauna suit (consumer reviews confirm this) will help you lose weight only if you exercise intensively in it. Of course, you don’t need to exhaust yourself with hours of training from the very first day; you need to load your body gradually.
You should realize that simply wearing a suit will not achieve results. Naturally, a person will still sweat, the body will lose fluid, while fat deposits will remain unchanged.
Material
Vinyl
Most often, a weight loss suit with a sauna effect is made of vinyl. This is a material that blocks the transfer of heat from the body. It is thanks to him that such intense sweating occurs during sports. It is made from resins, plastic and rubber. Yes, the composition is synthetic and leaves much to be desired, but do not rush to conclusions. This unique fabric:
- does not cause allergies;
- does not emit toxins;
- does not ignite;
- incredibly elastic;
- has mechanical strength.
It is vinyl that allows you to make clothes without seams so that they do not rub the body.
Neoprene
This is synthetic rubber. Suits made from it have the following properties:
- waterproof;
- elasticity;
- softness (pleasant to the body);
- strength, high resistance to negative external factors;
- porous structure (i.e. the body breathes).
Neoprene is also used to make sportswear for airsoft, paintball, mountaineering, sailing, beach volleyball, martial arts, and tourist waterproof equipment.
Nylon
Polyamide having the following characteristics:
- easy;
- wear-resistant;
- elastic;
- retains a presentable appearance after many washes;
- washes well, dries quickly, does not need ironing.
However, a nylon suit has one big drawback - with prolonged contact with the skin (especially sensitive), and even under the influence of heat and sweat, it causes extensive irritation.
TYPES AND MODELS OF THERMAL SUITS.
• Suits made of polyvinyl chloride. Externally similar to Bolognese. The texture combines the properties of rubber, glue, and plastic. They are hypoallergenic and non-toxic.
• Neoprene suits. They have high wear resistance and, like polyvinchloride suits, are non-toxic.
• Suits made of thick nylon. Lightweight but durable suits do not lose their quality and retain their appearance over a long period of use.
Types of suits by model:
• Jumpsuit with hood;
• A suit with separate parts of clothing.
How to use
Under the sauna suit, you must wear high-quality cotton underwear (T-shirt and leggings) that:
- helps avoid skin irritation;
- absorbs maximum amount of sweat;
- reduces the risk of overheating.
At its core, this is a sports suit, only with additional functions (sauna effect). Therefore, it should be worn for training, jogging and any other sports activities. If you wear the set just like that, there will be no weight loss effect.
Before and after wearing, you must take a warm shower. After training and water treatments, anti-cellulite or lymphatic drainage massage will be especially effective. And be sure to apply moisturizing milk or cream to your skin to protect it from diaper rash and irritation.
After each workout, the suit should be washed by hand in warm water, preferably with antibacterial or baby soap. Some manufacturers' instructions allow them to simply be turned inside out and wiped from the inside with a damp cloth. But this method of purification does not guarantee the elimination of all pathogenic organisms. After washing, clothes should be dried thoroughly inside out. Ideally - in the fresh air.
Frequency of use: twice a week. The duration of the weight loss course is until the desired result is achieved.
To improve results, try to adhere to a healthy lifestyle as much as possible (get enough sleep, live according to a schedule, give up bad habits, don’t be nervous) and eat right (a diet will also come in handy). And most importantly, be sure to drink as much water as possible (on normal days - 2 liters, when training - 2.5 liters).
Be careful! There are would-be advisers on the Internet who recommend wrapping yourself in cling film before training under a sauna suit. Any sane person will understand that this will lead to overheating and fainting, and not weight loss. One suit is enough to make you so wet after class that it’s like you’ve been doused in a bucket. So do not give in to such provocations.
Recommendations for use
- It is recommended to wear the suit over simple cotton underwear to prevent moisture absorption.
- It is highly undesirable to wear this type of clothing for more than 1 hour, and during active physical activity - no more than 15 minutes.
- To increase efficiency and improve results, the Sportmaster sauna suit is worn during training (cardio, strength, aerobic), cycling, and jogging.
Doctors' opinion
Doctors are unanimous in the opinion that the sauna suit itself does not promote weight loss, only in combination with physical activity and an individually developed nutrition system by a competent nutritionist.
In addition, doctors not only in Russia, but throughout the world categorically prohibit the use of such clothing by obese people, starting from the first stage. It would seem that these are the people who need a sauna suit. But a categorical contraindication is due to the fact that excess weight inevitably affects the functioning of all body systems, which means that such a person is not healthy enough to stimulate blood circulation.
Also, the sauna suit is contraindicated by doctors in all the cases listed above.
Dimensions
Many manufacturers of PVC sauna suits have decided not to bother with sizes and offer the consumer universal ones for women and men. Purchasing clothes of one size can be risky, because absolutely all people are different in height and weight. Therefore, it is still recommended to choose a suit individually for yourself.
On the websites of online stores offering sauna suits there is a size chart with parameters of body circumference, height and weight. You can purchase this item in sizes from XS to 5XL, so everyone can find something that will be comfortable for sports.
