    I used to steam at my old gym and it was great. It is good for clearing out your pores and it is supposed to have detox benefits. Which I imagine is true, because my friend that smoked couldn't stand to be in there more than 5 minutes. 10 minutes is a good time to steam. I would research the benefits though, not just take hear-say advice.

    I don't have the oportunity often but when i do i stay in as long as i can. I love the steam room better than a sauna. I think about 10 inutes is the max i can manage though and need a good glug of water right after.
