Of course, it'll take you longer to run the same distance, so gross calories burned would be higher simply because you're on your feet longer.TYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319389045016069839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125999893780432.post-61716882720078958422013-07-16T08:14:01.300-04:002013-07-16T08:14:01.300-04:00It is a concern if you do not sweat I AM ONE OF TH...It is a concern if you do not sweat I AM ONE OF THOSE! It is still possible to exercise with caution in the heat. Jen has made many great points... I find the best for me being EARLY AM if I can not do my running then I find I need to do indoor.

You should be drippy. If you're dry, stop NOW!!! And learn the emergency treatments for heat related illness.

Of course I didn't lose 3 pounds of fat! BUT, I did burn more calories per mile then when I run in say 60 degree temps.<br /><br />JenJennifer Hudson Mosherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634524809826975316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125999893780432.post-30845744405200463552013-07-15T21:01:29.804-04:002013-07-15T21:01:29.804-04:00Very nice post, but one quibble -- I don't thi...Very nice post, but one quibble -- I don't think you actually burn more calories exercising in hot weather. You sweat more and lose more water weight, but most sources I've seen agree that the actually calorie burn is unchanged.<br /><br />See, e.g., http://www.livestrong.com/article/371990-will-you-burn-more-calories-exercising-in-extreme-heat/TYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319389045016069839noreply@blogger.com
