Core Temperature and Calories Burned

Next week stay tuned for “Three Dimensional Training,” the perfect blog topic for the new year. Leading up to that blog topic, let’s take a look at one of those training dimensions, heat.Elevating your body’s core temperature accelerates your metabolism. In fact, for every degree Celsius (or approximately 1.8 degrees fahrenheit) your body temperature goes up, “your metabolism increases by 10 to 13 percent.” http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/healthy-eating/how-does-body-temperature-affect-metabolism.htmlNaturally, training in a heated environment whether it’s running outside in Vegas during the middle of summer or yoga inside of a HOTWORX infrared sauna, your body’s core temperature will elevate more rapidly than when you are working out in an air-conditioned gym or fitness studio. Rapid elevation of your core temperature shortens your warm up phase and allows you to get to the calorie burn faster. With a heated studio it only takes a short period of time with a workout such as pilates to generate an incredible super charge to your metabolism/calorie burn and, as a result you will experience the same high level of post workout calorie “after-burn!”Get your mind right! Don’t overdo it for New Years Eve. Plan now to add hot exercise to your fitness regime for 2017!! If you are a trainer or gym owner, get a jump on the competition and offer hot exercise to your clients. The results will speak for themselves.
