working out in the sauna

[polebot]

like pushups and situps....i tried it last time to get a really good sweat but it really burned my nostrils and lungs breathing deeply that hot air.

is it a bad idea or is it harmless?

I think that's a little different. Not as hot, not as "steamy".

use a sauna suit.

i do my pushups in the sauna and/or steam sauna... i make sure i get water between sets and some liquid aminos before, during and after...
...any reasoning on why this is a bad idea?...
i figure it just makes you tougher...

Don't. Dehydration and definately not healthy.

Popular but not sure its effective and its certainly not a workout. Just because you sweat people are tricked into thinking its a tough way to get in shape therefore worth doing. It's smoke and mirrors. Good for the joints and some stretching but your athletic performances also decreases an estimated 5% for every 1lb of water you drop. Also for the augmented guys I would worry about their blood pressure.

All very good points.

Certainly. That being said, I don't discount it being a great way to work on flexibility etc. The Eastern Block countries had some much research on hot/cold therapy for recovery along with adaptogenic supplements.

I can barely put my foot on the opposite knee to put my socks on, but I sure can reach down to a bar or drop into the whole

I think flexibility work should find a place in my life.

But that is whole other discussion.
