@glevinso You misunderstood my question. I stated that there are SOURCES claiming that the heart and metabolism are working harder to regulate body temperature. There are also sources that also indicate that sauna sessions on its own are not a significant calorie burn which I am more inclined to follow. But thank you for…

Is this really your input? No I am not trolling. Simply having a discussion with other minds on the benefits of sauna sessions. So far it's been a very stimulating conversation and full of knowledge.

This is an excerpt from articles I have been reading

In the book Beyond Antibiotics, Dr. Michael A. Schmidt explains the benefits of the slightly lower temperature of an infrared sauna like this: “Saunas are being used by some doctors to stimulate the release of toxins from the bodies of their patients. They have found that a lower temperature (105º-130ºF) sauna taken for a…

Thank you for pointing that out and I do agree that there is little evidence. Yes, this is referring to the sauna and athletic training as a 1-2 combination that strengthens the immune system.

This is an excerpt from an article I Was reading earlier today So I think although in trace amounts, there is presence of toxins being flushed through perspiration and as an extension through a sauna session... Any thoughts?

Most of us come with two types of sweat glands: eccrine glands and apocrine glands. Eccrine glands cover the majority of your body and are responsible for the cooling effect of sweating [source: Mayo Clinic]. Eccrine sweat is almost entirely water with a little salt and potassium, but it also contains trace amounts of…

This might be of interest to you in your question about immune system http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3916915/

Yes, so it seems that alone, sauna sessions are in fact not significant activity that will burn calories however can be incorporated into an athlete's fitness program for relaxation and improved health benefits all across the board from Increased Heart Health Boosting our immune system (increased levels of white blood…

Lunges weighted or just body weight lunges will help develop your tush! There are some good variations of lunges like lateral lunges, reverse lunges, cross over lunges.

Immovane.

@dewd2 Nice one man are you training for a marathon?

Wow great volume @KathyApplebaum and @ephiemarie !!! You guys a kicking butt and taking names!

@ClubSilencio Oh yes that sounds like a good session mate!

I'm not sure what works for you. However here in MFP if you go into Exercise ---> Cardiovascular> Strength Training There is an option for strength training to be logged and it gives you a rough estimate of how much you burn. Not sure on accuracy but at least you get a range to better gauge your nutrition strategy ;)

Although I didn't have a chance to watch this fight I was completely taken by surprise with the end results. First, Holly Holm was defeated. I was disappointed. Second, Connor McGregor was man handled. Now although I've never appreciated CM as a fighter and his "methods" during press conferences. I have to just say, This…

My ear lobes. They are soft and I flick them when I'm bored.

Yeah good point.

This attempt to eat 5 Oreo cookies is admirable @Carlos_421 however from my observation and through extensive studying in university I have observed that the last Oreo is clinging on for dear life. Your attempt is invalid. Therefore I win. Again. :D But yeah this is definitely bringing sexy back ;)

I have discussed this with my team of Nutrition Debate People. We have dedicated our lives to the exploration of the most exquisit cookie and milk combo And we have come to the conclusion that in fact the Oero is inferior to the Peak Freans Shortcake Cookie. I have my Bachelor of Masters of PHD in this matter so therefore…

Lol fun times!

Oh ... OH.... so you're calling on back up now!?? Well laaaa Dee daaaa Looks like the turns have tabled. . .

False. Peak Freans - Shortcake cookies dipped in milk Fact. Oreos lose to Shortcake cookies. I'm willing to start a debate on this in the Nutrition Debate section of MFP and I will be victorious.

Haha no I was kidding mate hence the ;) But back to the OP it's good that you now know how to track nutrition which will prove instrumental in your goals to compete in fitness. If you have Instagram you should follow @morelli Fitness something like that. They provide you with great tips secrets and tricks to the trade.…

You guys are insane. I can only do a 1 minute plank lool! Good job!

Just walk like a champion and talk like a champion :) Much love!
