So I hear people all the time like to go into the saunas after thier workouts. What's your take on this? I am trying to decide whether or not it is worth sitting in a room that is extremely hot. Hummmmm decisions decisions :wink:

    I had a couple of sessions with a personal trainer and he recommended the sauna after sessions to help relax muscles. Still need to stretch out first though.

    I love Saunas! I can stay in there for about 30 minutes. Dangerous, I know! ;)
    They help me so that I am not too sore after working out and I just am able to relax.
    I like steam saunas as well. I always see people jumping around in there at my gym...I hear it's a good last minute burn/sweat.

    It's all about the steam room for me, but both of them help tremendously after my workouts. I'd say give it a shot, start with short sessions though before trying anything longer to make sure your body reacts ok.

    They just scream "hot sweaty dirty sex" to me. I dunno. Maybe my mind is in the wrong place.

    I prefer the steam room.

    My gym as aromatherapy that they use too in there. Nice and relaxing way to sweat your *kitten* off. haha

    they're a good place to look at boobies and be amazed that "personal grooming" is not as widespread as you thought.

    I love the sauna either before or after a workout. I was hesitant at first because it seemed dangerous to me but I read up on it a little online. I use the dry sauna, no steam. It increases your heart rate and gives you a mild workout without even having to do anything. You can just relax if you want & sweat or do some stretches to get your muscles warmed up before a workout or afterwards to relax them. Depending on what I do it can increase my heart rate from the 70's up to 100. I almost always go to the sauna before my workout and sometimes after (not usually both). It helps my mind & body get ready for my cardio. Make sure you drink alot of water before, during & after to keep yourself hydrated, and always listen to your body. If you don't feel well, leave and try again another day.

    Hope this helps. :-)

    I've tried the dry sauna at a gym before, it was an interesting experience. Should I happen to join a gym again, I would probably try it out. Just make sure you have plenty water with you in there, during my first time I started feeling sick, it was after an hour long workout and i didn't have my water with me, I was feeling a little light headed :embarassed:
