    SAUNA CHALLENGE !!! Burn more calories !!!

    So I heard so many good health benefits that the dry sauna offers, and since i dont like exercising that much ( hence i mispell that word every time i use it ) Lol

    But anyways i heard it does make you only loose waterweight, however at the same time makes you burn calories, personally i dont care for the waterweight, i would just like to burn some extra calories.

    I heard up to 300 in a 30 minute session .

    Does anyone know or can help me get "factual" info in this ??

    i mean It does have really outstanding health benefits and does flush out many dangerous radicals in your body.

    Since i have one in my condo complex i think i am going to try it for a week ... since Im in week two of induction and NOT loosing anything !

    Uffff ... SO WHO IS UP FOR A SAUNA CHALLEGE ???

      I dunno about this one...

      Judge for yourself: http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.php?threadid=73489

      Perhaps a poll for the question, moderators?
      I'd say you can shed pounds of water, along with essential salts so it might stay off until both are replaced.
      Then, if you had been burning calories to keep warm before entering, you would cease this while in there. Other factors such as how long you're in, how hot/humid the sauna is, and your exercise before going in probably all contribute to whether or not you burn more calories/minute while in the sauna vs. just before or after. Sheesh. Repeated sauna use may have long term effects like slowing your metabolism?

        Re: SAUNA CHALLENGE !!! Burn more calories !!!

        I go to the gym usually 5 days a week and at the end of my work-out I sit in the Sauna for usually 20-40 minutes it just depends on how hot it is in there. For the past couple of weeks I've found that it help more with my water retension especially around that TOM. As far as burning fat I don't know about that but it sure does feel good to sit in there and relax Also, the steam room is great for getting rid of extra water weight the only drawback for me is that it's hard to breathe in there for the first couple of minutes.

          I live in a Sauna and it hasn't helped me lose any weight!

          I think its probably wishful thinking..there really is no easy way to burn calories other than moving! I think that if it was that simple we'd all be skinny! I could sit on my porch and sweat away the fat! It'd be nice but I don't think it would work. But, that is just my opinion.

            LOL - you mean this recent weather, right? You should have seen my bay window this morning, you could'nt see out for the moisture! Gaaak! I guess a sauna could cause you to lose fat simply by destroying your appetite while you're in it you would never eat. But on the other hand, you'd burn off all the muscle and never move, either.

              If sitting in the sauna would make us all skinny, then we would all be there.

              The simple fact is that you must burn more calories than you consume. Unfortunalty, you are going to have to exercise to be healthy and to lose weight.

                Re: SAUNA CHALLENGE !!! Burn more calories !!!

                Hahaha artgirl noone said anything about getting skinny in a sauna, Plus the same thing counts for eating healthy. if we all know eating healthy makes us skinny WHY dont we all do it ?
                It was a suggestion.... relax ...

                But Yeah i just looked up several sites that confirm you can indeed BURN CALORIES in one .... I dont know exactly how many but it has to do comething with the bodies conversion of heat ... i wish we had a chemist or something in here ... Lol

                Well but then again , every activity makes you burn calories .. even sleeping ... Lol .... Did u guys check how many calories you can burn burn with a 4 hour nap ? hahaha check calorie-count.com They said it , not me ...

                well am trying 16 minutes today, just because it felt so gosh darn relaxing

                        Gettingg Naked in a public sauna is just gross. OMG can you imagine how many germs grow in those things - especially if people are in there naked with all their body fluids oozing out all over the place. Gag. Yea, that would make me lose weight!

                          OMG MOG saunas are made of cedar and are very clean in most places if they are not spotless a person should not go there.....and everyone sits on a towel for crying out loud!!!...I am so happy I have never felt the human body to be gross ..that is really sad to me!!!

                            there would be more bacteria in sweaty clothing any day than in a sauna full of clean (people shower before a sauna!) naked bodies!!!

                              Agreed, they are very clean and you bring a towel to sit on.

                              Not a big deal to be naked. Most people sitting in there are worried about their own issues and not so concerned about you and yours. Trust me. Not a big deal.

                              Please note, most gyms have a womens and mens sauna. I would not go naked in a mixed one.
