RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

The fitness industry is a multi-BILLION dollar industry, and unfortunately much of it is meant to scam you out of your money by over-promising & under-delivering. One such scam, is the Belly Burner or anything advertising by adding extra clothing you'll burn more fat. All these items will do is make you sweat more. Sweat has nothing to do with body fat loss. Sweating more just dehydrates you faster. Dehydrating faster makes you tired faster, and less likely to finish your exercises with high intensity (which is the true key to fat loss!). By sweating more you'll lose water weight, but as soon as you drink/eat something you'll immediately gain it back. Sweatsuits/belts are only beneficial to fighters who need to drop quick weight to qualify for a weight class for a fight. If you're not a fighter, save your money!
