  or should not wear a sweatshirt while exercising.

• Many ask this common question Is it a good idea
  to wear a sweatshirt while working out? Good idea
  or not, many people at the gym work in a
  sweatshirt. It stimulates their muscles faster
  and helps them sweat easy. But does it help to
  lose weight? 
•  
• The catch with losing weight is what you might
  mean by it. Does wearing a sweatshirt help you
  lose weight? Yes. Does it help you lose fat? No.
  When you step on the scale, you see everything in
  your body. That includes all the water content in
  your body, your muscles, bones and fat. 
• So when you say you are losing weight, it does
  not necessarily mean fat. It is easy to
  manipulate weight loss but not easy to control
  fat loss. Fat loss requires us to burn more
  calories than we are consuming. When we say
  'calories in vs calories out, ' this is referred
  to. Now that we understand weight loss and fat
  loss let's consider if working out in a
  sweatshirt will burn more calories.

• Does working out in a sweatshirt burn more
  calories?
• We all know that working in a sweatshirt helps us
  sweat fast and easily. It increases our heart
  rate, causing blood to pump faster and maintain
  body temperature. Your body sweating more and
  quicker does not mean you're burning more
  calories or, in other words, experiencing fat
  loss. You are simply losing water content at a
  faster speed. 
• Studies have proven that sweating more does not
  lead to fat loss. It does not mean you are
  burning more calories. Calories are burned
  primarily by the output of energy. 
• The fitness industry would have us believe
  anything if it means a little bit of profit goes
  their way which can be disappointing but hear us
  out, this is not the end. There are, in fact,
  some benefits to working out in a sweatshirt. 
•  
•  Advantages of wearing a sweatshirt in the gym
• Just because sweatshirts don't help burn calories
  does not mean wearing them for workouts is no
  use. They do have some little perks that you can
  benefit from.
