cardio with pants

**blondmyth** · 06-22-2006, 12:59 PM

how come i see many pros doing cardio with pants? is the thermogenic effect really that much greater than if one wore shorts?

i started doing it with pants alont with working out and i sweat alot more....dont kno if its better or not but i love sweating while working out makes me feel like i have done a better job lol

I dont no if thats the reason, I think it just comes down to prefrence. I have seen Jay Cutler do it in shorts. While Ronnie uses pants. I personally were sweat pants becuse im not a shorts wearing person. But JMO i think its just prefrence

sorry but

....it would just make you sweat more in theory, and lose more water weight, but not fat....this is why i laugh when i see guys on the treadmill at my gym wearing garbage bags....

garbage bags?? lmao

we used to do cardio in the showers with hot water on....wearin garbage bags when i was in wrestling.... just to loose the weight for weigh in. of course.....that was after starving for days, sucking on jolly ranchers and spitting out the saliva. totally bad for you, but anything to drop to the next class

how about pants when it's cold and shorts when it's warm.........losing water(sweating) does not necessarily equate to fat loss.....

it would make you hotter, which is better. heat is the synergist in many reactions in your body - including your muscles.

heat keeps u from pulling muscles ><

Maybe they like pants?

Why must there be fat-burning-related reason?

Most pros simply like to cover up.

I, an amateur, for one get very flat during/after a cardio session. I'm more likely to cover up during cardio than during training.
