The Natural High you get.I can't wait to get to the Gym . I wear a hoddie and the sweat just runs down my back and chest it feels great. About 1 hour and I am soaking wet with sweat. I take off my hoddie if my t'shirt underneath isn't to bad.I work out in it. Or get a new one and off to the machines I go. The burn is great ! I am hooked.You could say I am a Cardio Juunkie !
