    Doing cardio in a "HOT ROOM"

    So i am getting a stationary bike tomorrow so i can do cardio in the morning and can't decide if i should put it in my spare room or in my living room in front of the television??

    The reason i am asking is the spare room is really tiny, and i am wondering if i can burn extra calories if i turned on the space heater and made it 90-100 degrees in there? I know you sweat more, but does working out in a hotter room burn extra calories? or would i just be making it unecessarily uncomfortable?

    any info on this is greatly appreciated

    No you will not burn any significant amount of calories more doing it in a hot room. Any extra weight you may lose would be do to water loss from sweating.

    LOL I never understood this concept. You only get dehydrated by turning up the heat. A lower temperature will actually make you lose fat because your metabolism has to increase in order to warm up your body. Of course, if you do this long enough, your body will adjust and put on more fat since it is cold outside.
