I've been trying to document my 15 min. a day in the sauna, however, there isn't a place for that; or is there?

    It's sweat. Not calories burned.

    Everyone is correct. It's not a calorie burner.

    you could get a spiral notebook and write it down everyday.. You could also write it on a calendar? Maybe a blog?

    Everyone here responded appropriately, most even gave very helpful answers.

    Nice, someone else who gives the "The More You Know" slogan :bigsmile:

    Well I'm not a child. I've always been told that you should use the sauna to cut weight. I assumed that it helped with burn calories. Hey I was wrong. I did not attend the "God of Fat Burning" class that was freely offered at the YMCA; did not get the e-mail you folks got. So sorry for troubling anyone with my stupid question. Thank you for the help, I tend to forget that people forget how to communicate with other human beings; computers have allowed some of us to evolve into shmucks. I understand, I'm in the military, I deal with people like you all the time. Now that I know exactly how this "helpful site" works, I take that spiral notebook draw a rainbow, take a straw, and suck it up.

    I was meerly expecting some advice, not berating. Having some trouble losing weight; unlike anyone on this site; my job is on the line. That means feeding two kids. Sorry, but the skin is wearing thin. I seriously doubt anyone is woring over this like me. Again sorry.

    Oh lookie here, Mr. Special - the only mfp member staring down good ol AR 600-9

    Yep, the only one. Just right there. That's him. The one.

    Wow... I think there was one post that was stated sort of questionably the rest were very straight forward. You can't read tone and inflection in text. You may want to grow a thicker skin if you post regularly on the internet.

    Sorry you are a delicate snowflake, sir. :flowerforyou:

    It doesn't help with the calorie burn, but if you still want to make a note of it, you can make a note of it in your food diary? (trying to be helpful. :) )

    I go to the gym and work out.....then after I go in the sauna and jacuzzi and some times the steam room, but I take this as just relaxing time and talk to fellow gym users.

    Just go in for enjoyment but you dont count it as any form of weightloss/exercise.

    Hope this helps

    Nowhere in that article did they cite a source of information or study. If you're really curious about how much you might be burning in a Sauna, the experiment is simple.

    Wear a HRM for 30 minutes, sitting, doing nothing. Perhaps lying down? At room temperature.
    Now do the same thing for the Sauna.

    Make a note of increased calories burnt by heart rate. I have done this already, and for me, the increase of HR is negligible.
    there is no definite way to measure how many calories are burnt in sauna.
    Is a lie.

    edit: your original post I clicked reply to didn't have that first link. Reading it now...

    If you search enough, you can find a viewpoint that you like, but then reality stares back at you.

    http://www.livestrong.com/article/300302-the-calories-burned-sitting-in-a-steam-sauna-for-15-minutes/

    ^ article also from Livestrong telling you it's completely worthless(this one written by a Dr.).

    Bottom line is, if you aren't doing some sort of real activity, you aren't burning much. Sweating is the loss of water from the body and nothing more.

    Wow.. not looking for a lazy way out; I'm pretty active. However the Gunny's and Chiefs swear to the sauna along with exercise. I thought they had the inside track; but these are the people that are about making you puke from running.
