Running With Garbage Bag

The only ways i would ever recommend running with a garbage bag are a) as tiay mentioned in a hustle for the garbage truck and b) if you were making it into some sort of parachute in order to do speed training. Now there is some creative programming... get an extra large garbage bag, cut holes for your arms and head, and then cut out most of the front so the back catches air. That might increase the intensity of your workout and make you sweat a little more. lol


*disclaimer - I do not actually recommend attempting this, as you would look like an idiot and could also be dangerous, lol
 
LOL the things we do to drop the pounds!

just eat according to your daily needs and stay active, it really is that simple!

peace
 
As my grandma use to say and it will be a terrible pun but garbage in garbage out lol

eat good workout out and give it time. Save the money on the garbage bags.
 
In case it has not been said enough in this thread, and in case you really were serious about it, PLEASE do not do this. There is no real value in it aside from an immediate loss of water (NOT a value... it just makes your weight look less on a scale. It does not reduce how fat you are at all, though). I had to take a wrestling partner to the hospital way back in highscool for doing this to make weight, and passing out in the locker room shower with all of the hot water on. He nearly died. Boxers and Wrestlers die every year from stupidly trying to cut weight this way.

Water loss is NOT equal to losing fat. Even after all of that crap, I (as a stupid kid) had to cut water weight to make weight for a wrestling match. In one afternoon, I cut 13 pounds by forcing myself to vomit multiple times, forcing myself to salivate by putting drops of mouthwash on my tongue and then spitting it all into a cup, and then sweatsuiting myself and running in the wrestling room (heavily insulated) with the heat set to "an august day in the south" setting, until I was on weight.

Take it from my personal experience: not only do you not lose extra fat, but you will feel worse than you ever have in your whole life, and as weak as a kitten.
 
Sweat bags when running

:hurray:

Hi,

Well I've done quick a bit of reading on the subject of running using sweat bags. Sweat doesn't happen spontaneously. It requires energy to make sweat and energy to draw blood closer to the surface of the skin to evaporate it were and the blood is then cooled as it is closer to the skins surface. All this energy comes from the burning of calories. So it takes more energy to create more sweat, there for burning more calories quicker than training without sweat bags.

However because of the rpid sweating excercise with bags should be limited to no more than 15 minute intervals. Make up an isotonic solution of 5g (tea spoon) of salt in 1 litre of water. Divide this into smaller bottles and carry one with you when running and take regular sips. I found that if i just waited until i finished my run and gulped down water, I was sick and got stomach cramps. So the isotonic solution throughout training helped.

NB most of the wait lost during training will be gained and consuming water as that is the bulk of weight loss when bag training but net weight loss over a week will be greater with bag training than without as greater energy is required using up more calories.

Hope this helps.

wow you guys are really hardcore huh! lol I sweat so much after a run when I'm wearing a tanktop and tiny shorts (so tiny that its almost scandalous lol)... I get so hot when running...lol I neeeeeeeed air circulation!!! Its called running not a sauna!! Growing up in the east, I was never familiar to this idea lol. Ppl run around not wearing a lot. However if I WERE to run outside where I live now (dublin)..I would have to wear something long and warm ( I dont have a choice lol)..
 
Grab a backpack an put something relatively heavy in it. Make sure it fits you nicely, so that it doesn't disturb your running. That's a smart way to lose weight faster and to train your muscles at the same time.

Pardon my ignorance. Will you lose weight faster, if you workout with a plastic bag wrapped around your stomach, chest. I just make holes in it and it fits kinda like a muscle shirt.

I sweat a lot more with it on. But will it help lose more weight or something?

LoL. Running with a garbage bag =)
Water loss isn't the same thing as fat loss.

Good advice James.
 
I still see people usually walking (often very slowly) with sauna suits. During the summer. In Alabama.
I want to tell them how ignorant they are (ignorant being a nice word). If they'd take off the stupid jacket a pick up the pace, they'd lose a lot more weight!
In shorts and a tank top, I'll be totally drenched while jogging.
 
Humans are made of water and to force your body to release sweat, which isn't even permanent weight is completely ridiculous. It's more ridiculous for health reasons then anything. Unless you're cutting to make weight for some event it is a big no-no. Tell them to stay hydrated... you don't want to see them collapse somewhere and die.
