Steam rooms / saunas

I'm lucky and have a sauna at work so I use it once a week or so. There's never anyone in there so I normally do some stretches/mobility stuff as well.

I just do it cause it feels like I recover better when I do.

And I use the method from the above link also.

Re PWO: I just eat food. Hit your daily macros :) Unless you are training totally fasted, wouldn't make much difference IMO.

lol :D:p


What would you know lol

:p

As I was telling Callan last night, my Finnish friends have a sauna that takes up half their holiday cottage and has a pier running out to a lake attached t it.

I'm also not 100% sold on using a sauna to reduce your bodies water levels on a more permanent basis.
Surely your body will just replenish the fluids it loses? (Unless you f*ck yourself over and don't take in ANY fluid for a few days.
 
Turns out my gym has a steam room AND a sauna.

Which would be better for reducing water retention in the body?

Based on physics, I would say the room with the lowest humidity would be best
But I've never bothered reading up on sauna vs steam room

I'd go with the sauna
 
I would do both, on different days, wish I had access to both, my local pool has a sauna and spa, costs me $10 each time I go, went last week, I only go every now and then, and every time I go I say to myself I need to go more. Asians and indians are mad for it, no one else seems to use it.

I would be happy just going once a week, but don't seem to get there that often:mad:

Yeah, I didnt' even realise my gym had either (let alone both).

So I'm going to start utilising them. I might just alternate then, I plan on going three times a week, so might just use them on alternate days.
