Why do some people at the gym wear an extraordinary amount of warm clothes to the point that they're sweating uncomfortably?

I'm back on my BS 🤪@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 84 points –

What's the point of what they're doing? What are they trying to achieve? Does it really work?

I always thought it was to induce sweating. Never bothered looking but I also always thought that's what we call them "sweats"

Why do they want to induce sweating??

No need to go to the toilet!

I bet it's some weird thinking of weight loss or removing those "tOxInS" or something.

BTW Keep hydrated folks!

So the shower after feels better?

To help kill any infections they might have at the time?

To clear out toxins?

To make room for more water to be consumed?
