Active Heat Session #1

Decided to try a heat session for fun. I ordered a Core Sensor a few weeks ago but haven't used it other than just wearing it and figuring how it works. Today, I dressed in tights, a baselayer and a cycling wind jacket and two winter hats. My HR went up, but it took a while for my core temperature to come up and I only after some time working steadily through heat zone 1. I was sweating a good deal, but not as much as I expected. Given that my body is adapted to cold at the basement is cool and dry this makes sense.

I bought a portable stand-up sauna for my birthday, but it hasn't arrived. I think that will be easier to use for heat training. Just trying to fling crap against the wall and see what sticks.

Interesting, so why are you heating things up right now? I remember wearing those god awful sweat suits made of plastic back in day.
