Sauna vs. Hot Tub: Which is Best to Get Fit?

I tested out a dry sauna vs. a hot tub with a cold plunge in between to see what provided better results. Heat exposure comes with some great benefits like relaxation and stress relief, improved circulation, skin rejuvenation, muscle recovery, and more! But which will get me more fit and healthy? The real test was to see which one sucked the least.

WHat's your pick? More pain or more party vibes?

when you said that being in the sauna is the equivalent of working out that genuinely helped me understand my own body better. i have POTS so i get overheated very easily and im very intolerant to exercise, even just strength training with no cardio. being outside for several hours in the summer makes me as miserable and have the same symptoms as when i go to the gym (shortness of breath, lightheadedness, muscle twitching and weakness, headache, nausea, excessive sweating). I was only recently diagnosed so i am still having tests done with my cardiologist but i am hoping to get a personal trainer once i know what’s actually going on with my heart and cardiovascular system because i like going to the gym but i know i would like it more if i didn’t get physically sick every time i go.

Hot or hot I never would have thought about that you are such a smart person!!!! ❤Thx for answering everyone’s shower thoughts!

I dunno, but I'm on day 8 of sauna in a row and loving it.

I got the SaunaBox steam sauna and love it! Can't do dry sauna due to lungs damaged by asthma. Not a fan of hot tubs due to upfront costs, chemicals and ongoing maintenance.

My SaunaBox did come with a cold tub, which I haven't yet tried.

it sucks for you because you are doing it wrong...I feel great after third cycle, every cycle improves the tolerance....as it should. If it makes you feel worse...you are overdoing it...or doing something wrong...

5:40 your 30 day sauna video was miserable to watch because you had shoes on and pants. You don't get into a cold plunge the same way.

Please use a towel to sit on in the sauna. Nobody likes to sit in their predecessor's sweat.

This reminds me of when we were little, we would go in the hot tub, then roll around in snow and go back

I have fibromyalgia - the heat is definitely better. I went to a sauna place (9 different saunas - all heated: salt, light therapy, coal, gold, etc) with my fiancé and he was dying while I could have stayed in there much longer and he wanted to be in the cold room the whole time.

I read Spaghetti before Spagnola lol! I got pasta on the brain! 😂

Can you please test out a vibration machine? Thanks, love you so much!!!!

If you are interested in health benefits how about doing a 30 medicinal plant (not juice) detox? Like dr. Schulze's.
There are also non-toxic jacuzzi alternatives and the sauna may have some treatments (in the wood) or gues/other chemicals.
Another idea is doing the "live" insulin spike thing you did before with different foods but this time with the foods that you prefer to see if what you are attracted to is actually what works best for you.
Thank you for sharing.

I learned from Mark Rober the Chlorine smell is actually urine. Hope you enjoyed 😂.

Question: What does it mean when you get goosebumps while going from cold to standing directly in the summertime sun? I get the "cold to hot" every summer because they keep the temperature so cold in Starbucks while it's 112° outside. (I remember seeing my breath last summer.) Because I've always lived walking distance from a Starbucks, I've had my fair share of cold to hot moments. I'm fact, I'll even stand directly in the hot desert sun until I get warm.

You're Amazing, love your content!! We'd love to send you some products!

It would be great if you could put the metric temperatures on screen for all the non American viewers!

Hello Mam,
I Visited your YouTube channel and noticed it ranks lower than others. SEO seems to be lacking, though your content is fantastic. Wondering why your videos aren't attracting more views? One key factor is insufficient SEO (your videos' SEO score is 59/100%, that's why your video is not reaching out to the people and you do not have many subscribers, views, likes, watch time, and comments. I also noticed that your video thumbnail was good. If you'd like, I can assist you with improving it. I think your YouTube channel will make your dream come true. I am waiting for your response.

Suspend that mic from something above you... So you can get completely IN the water. : D
