Burning calories in SAUNA

McKnightAM

okay so i go to the gym on a daily basis

before and after the workout i sit in a sauna for 15 minutes

after GOOGLING my life away..

about 3/4 of the sites say you burn 300-500 calories just in a 20 minute session in the sauna due to perspiration, raised heart beat, and what not...

The other 1/4 say its just water weight lost and that no calories are burned...

Anyone else know of anything like this?? Please and thank you!

Hrm.

You might burn calories, but I wouldn't list it as exercise.

It'd be like the calories burned after you've finished your cardio/strength training routine.... you still burn extra calories in the hours after, but you don't really count those.
