Attention Gym Heads: Do you use the sauna?

[sir rob a lot]

As the title states.... How often do you use it? How long do you go in there for? What are the benefits?

In high school, I'd jump in there every week to cut the last 3-5 pounds to make weight but is there a true benefit to it?

I have a boy thats a gym rat and he told me to go in there once a week....to relax my muscles and to clean out pores. I always thought the sauna were for theold people....

@ me.

Good Looks, NT.

i neva was a fan of the sauna but the steam room was my ishh

 

[brrraptors]

sauna after workout/running is

i do it merely to sweat out that one final time to clear up the pores. i usually jump in a semi-cold shower right after and come out feeling very clean.

When I was in the gym heavy I would go after every workout.

10-15 mins at most.

 

[wawaweewa]

Almost after every single session.
My family is from Eastern Europe so I've been going to sauna's since I was a kid.

 

[ioround3]

everytime I go I use sauna and steam room....
both will open your pores, and help you shed off some pounds

[jailblazer]

i like to use the steam room after workouts.
its kinda relaxing, and my skin feels & looks a lot better for the next few days.
