Here is a list of main reasons why people wear hoodies to the gym.

Comfort

Comfort has always been essential for workouts, because you stay focused, and do not distract with discomfort. So, you can wear all different sorts of activewear to the gym, and it all depends on what makes you feel comfortable. Hoodies also come with extra storage for your essentials like keys and cellphone.

Prevent Injury

We always warm-up before any kind of exercise or sport activity. The main reason for warming up is to prevent injury while working out. So, wearing a workout hoodie will help you to trap the heat inside your body and warm-up your muscles way faster. Most athletes usually warm-up in a hoodie  when the weather is colder. It can be a really great idea to start your fitness activity with a hoodie. However, if it is already hot inside or outside, or you are practicing a hot yoga class, you might experience heat exhaustion, which is not a good idea to workout in a hoodie. 

Burn Calories

Every time you wear a hoodie and do cardio exercises, your body temperature increases more than usual, the circulation increases, and your heart rate increases to maintain your body temperature. With an increased heart rate, your fitness performance is higher, and you may burn more calories in a workout hoodie than in a tank top. However, this is not always the best idea.

Cons Of Wearing a Hoodie During a Workout

Heat Exhaustion

As it was mentioned above heat exhaustion usually happens when your body is unable to keep up with the high body temperature. It happens due to high-intensity workouts or very high temperatures in a place where you workout. If you do cardio exercise and it gets very hot, the best way will be to take your hoodie off. Do not forget to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water after your workout class. 

Poor Performance

Training in a  hoodie will increase the intensity of your activity and limit you to burn the calories by exhausting you faster. There is one more thing to keep in mind while working out in a hoodie that it gets wet and heavy. Because most hoodies are made of cotton fabric they are getting heavy during intensive workout.

You don’t burn more calories by wearing a hoodie. Calories are a unit of energy. Heat is energy. Allowing your body to heat up and retain excess heat will cause you to burn fewer calories. You would burn more calories doing the same exercise in cold weather with a t shirt, than you would working out in warm weather with a hoodie.

I totally agree with what you said that your body temperature will rise quickly if you wear a hoody during a workout session; making you lose more calories in the process. I’m finally working out again, because I got too lazy over the past couple of months. I want to get back in shape in no time, so I’ll make sure to purchase a men’s hooded sweatshirt in the nearest store in the city. https://grizzlywear.shop/products/mens-hoodie
