Nope, working out in a warm environment just guarantees one thing--water weight loss. Yes, the body will try to work a bit harder for a short period trying to cool itself, but when unsuccessful, in an attempt to maintain a stable temperature, the body will stop working as hard at exercise. And, blood that normally supplies working muscles with oxygen will instead be shunted towards the surface of the skin in an attempt to cool down, which will limit your capacity for intense exercise. The little bit of extra work your body will go through to try to cool itself is waaaay offset by the decline in performance. It's also begging for heat injury.
On the other hand, exercise in cold environments--temps pretty far down there--pose very little danger and actually increase the caloric expenditure due to the body's attempts at warming itself. Even though the body gives off heat as we exercise, a cool environment can accept heat even faster than we generate it, meaning that the body will work harder to stay warm.
ACSM recommends 68-72 degrees as ideal room temperature for exercise.
