Hi everyone, this is my first posting.
I've been doing 10mins in the Sauna each day (v.hot).
Does anyone know how to record in exercises, as certainly its a weight loss.
Thanks

    I do not count it because it only aids in water weight. I do it all the time.

    I would think that s sauna just makes you sweat, therefore the weightloss would be water. I don't know if this counts as 'exercise', as you actually haven't moved any muscles to create this loss. I would be reluctant to record this as an exercise, otherwise it will skew the amount of calories you have allocated in a day.

    Yes it aids in weightloss but its not "excercise" Moving is excercise

    Its not exercise unless your exerciseing in it. Your body may be burning some calories and sweating but you need to physically move the body
