Sweat to your best!

ONE of the most novel training aids available at the moment is a vest made by a company called Sweatz.

While the vast majority of athletics clothing is designed to keep you cool and wick sweat away from the body, the Sweatz training vest actually does the opposite – and encourages sweating in order to help you lose weight.

The Sweatz vest looks like a white bin liner, but with the addition of a snazzy logo, and sticks to your torso in the same shape as a muscle shirt. The company claims it is “the ultimate training aid for weight loss and overall wellbeing” and that a 30-minute work out with it can burn off an extra 600 calories.

But AW Basics would warn that beginners should treat a product such as this with caution. More experienced athletes, however, who are preparing for hot-weather events, may enjoy the idea of using a Sweatz vest during sessions to become used to the increased perspiration rates.
