The SAUNA / Losing weight

[GdupM6]

Usually after my workouts, i go and sit in the sauna for about 30 min then leave. Does the sauna help you lose weight? Would the sauna be a good substitute if someone preferred sitting in the sauna as opposed to running?

you will only lose water weight... but it is also a good place to relax and stretch after heavy lifting...

Sitting in the sauna is nothing like running. I do it somtimes, it makes me feel good to sweat alittle. But no, sitting in the suana is not cardio. I wish, that would make things alot easier

Good for sweating out all the toxins as well.

I love getting in a steam room after a brutal workout,it opens up the spores,however the answer to the question is no you cannot loose weight using the sauna,all the water you loose is immediately replaced when you take that first sip of water or juice, the body has a way of regulating itself.

For somebody who HATES running, what other types of cardio would be just as good if not better?

Actual cardio is all about raising your resting heart rate to begin burning fat. Sitting in the sauna will not do anything at all for actual weight loss asides from sweating out water weight.

Jesus christ....were you spying on me doing cardio? Thats exactly what I was going to say

I cant run cause I have shin splints. So other than stationary bike I find that to be a very effective way to get your heart rate bumpin.

 

[GdupM6]

what else do you guys do for effective cardio instead of running?

 

[DidiXterra]

Tired of cardio? ...Then do only 5min (5 min is just enought so it wont make you so bored you want to shoot youself in the head) on each machine, and do all machines at the gym one lap, or two... Im assuming they do have more machines then only one, more like 5... for example, rowing 5min, Treadmill 5min, Stairs 5min, Bike 5min... etc... After one another without any rest
