Healthiest I ever felt was when my work gym had an attached sauna (this is Finland), and I was able to visit everytime after workout. It was incredibly relaxing after work!

[kgurl]

I’ve been doing this for years, not knowing there was any proof behind my intuition that this was highly beneficial. Thanks for the video.

Almost all Nordic Countries Gyms have a sauna and many go to it right after the gym session. Highly recommended.

I warm up in the sauna for 10 minutes before my workout. I feel like my workout is so much better with a pre-workout sauna than when I don't have access at my boxing gym.

Although it is only my opinion, with a sample size of N = 1, the benefits of blood pressure reduction, cardiac event reductions etc are coming from the vascular system - expanding the pipes and thus pushing more nutrients in and allowing more by-products to pass out... the sauna is like the best vasodilator and circulation booster - better than any medication...

We once had public baths and saunas in some cities.

They infrared sauna therapy in Japan after heart complications to successfully lower blood pressure.

Saunas are a safe and wonderful aerobic equivalent alternative for those unable to do so for various reasons, like: recovering from surgery, paraplegic, other muscle skeletal to joint issues, morbidly obese, and more.

For shorter people asphalt, cement, brick, and even stone inner-city sauna benefits not including urban heat islands that short people are in also and not including sinking cities because of climate change that shorter people are in also, my father was born in Puerto Rico and said it is super, demasiao hot in inner-city

My $10/month gym has a sauna… you don’t need to be “affluent” to use one. You just need to not be lazy.

If someone could post the main takeaways of the video regarding sauna after exercise, I'd appreciate it!
Cheers

Been using the sauna regularly for a month and a half after exercising for 15 minutes and I fill great. Got covid 2 weeks ago and had a very slight throat sore nothing else.

[Skooter]

Sauna is life now..must have..great for skin, reduce sodium, toxins. Reduce inflammation, Muscle sorness.

[Macfromwales]

My vo2 max is 52 but if I sauna after the gym it rises to 54 without me doing anything at all and stays there for a couple of hours. Can confirm

[inMotionOutdoors]

would love to see your video on finishing out the inside of the DIY sauna you did.

[thereligionofrationality]

Yeah, I remember trying to tell my anthropology professor that those cave drawings in France represented the saunas and ice baths we evolved with because they optimised the health of our prehistoric ancestors. Alas, he failed me...

[viccapalihan]

If you workout in the Gym in South East Asia, you are doing exercise in a ''sauna'' as well....no wonder I feel much better when its summer.. LOL

[Atlas]

Are the findings for traditional sauna or infrared? thanks keep up the good work.

[JA-SKI]

What about people who have vascular skin?

[markmacfarlane]

I would love to know if my 30 minute 42 celcius baths help me in the same way or similar?

[googleadmin]

Did you mention cooling pack for the teste? Does it ruin any positive effects? I think we should keep that sack below 40°C at all times.
