Hi a newbie here wondering if going to the steam room alone without exercise burns calories and is there any proof that going to the steam room after a workout benefits you i,e weight loss, muscle gain etc what do you folk do when it comes to the steam room👍

Oh, how I wish. Obesity would never exist if taking a steam room is all it took. Don’t you think?

It doesn't burn calories. It just makes you sweat which can cause weight loss until you hydrate and return.to normal.

Sweating does not equal fat loss or muscle gain.

I thought that👍 I have just read in some articles that if you hit the steam room after a session it can prolong the metabolism speed at least for a while I usually hit it after the gym just to chill out really nothing else.

Any differences you can make to your metabolism (as in your BMR/RMR) without using illegal substances basically amounts to 0.01% of nothing.
