30 Minute Non-Walk

So I’ve moved my sauna time up from 15 minutes to 30 minutes 2 times per week, and am thinking that maybe I want to do 3 times per week, because I’m already seeing a difference in my skin and dare I say it…my waist!

Fortunately, there is a regular sauna-goer at the time I’ve been regulating and she constantly is pouring water directly on the floor of the room to make the air more moist. Her belief system is that if the air is dry and hot, you will only release pure moisture from your skin, which isn’t good for wrinkles, or skin…however, if there is a constant influx of steam/moisture in the air, then the body releases toxins from the pores and the skin is still moisturized to a certain amount and wrinkles are actually prevented…if at all possible.

So yea…30 minutes in the sauna is the same as a 30 minute brisk walk, because your heart rate is higher, and the metabolism is increased as a result. And for a forced-exerciser like myself, I can easily see adding an additional 30 minute session per week in the sauna rather than another 30 minute session of the treadmill with much more success… lol.

happy sauna-ing!
