Infrared Sauna 101 Part 3 – The Benefits of Weight Loss, Muscle Recovery, and Better Sleep!
Let’s recap. In part one we described how infrared saunas work with heat waves that penetrate your body and heat it from the inside out, instead of using steam, which can seem suffocating at times, or unbearable outside heat, like regular saunas. This in turns, helps your body detox up to seven times more than if you were sweating in a traditional sauna, plus you are in a more pleasant environment…. And that is just the beginning of a whole bunch of amazing benefits sweating at City Sweats provides.
In part two, we reported how sweating with us boosts your immune and circulatory systems, and aids with your stress management. We can all agree these are benefits we can all take advantage of, and find useful, especially in these unprecedented times. So get ready, because here are two more benefits, that are sure to make you want to book that first, or maybe second or tenth sweat immediately!
Weight Loss
You can burn up to 900 CALORIES in a single infrared sauna sweating session at City Sweats! That equals approximately one hour of very intense cardio and/or strength-training. Let that sink in! The heat created by our infrared saunas increases the heart and metabolic rate, which leads directly to losing weight. The faster your metabolism works, the more calories it consumes, hence, the more weight you will lose. Plus, you will be sweating hardily, so you will shed those unwanted water-weight pounds too. Say bye-bye bloating!
Muscle Recovery & Pain Management
When working towards a goal of building muscle or enhancing your training and performance, recovery time is almost as important as the actual workout itself. Just ask superstar athlete, basketball player and City Sweats fan, Larry Williams, a.k.a. “The Bone Collector.” Among the myriad of amazing benefits sweating in an infrared sauna offers, muscle recovery is at the top of his list. Why? Because when the body heats from within it allows oxygen-rich blood to reach deep down into the muscles and organs. This allows the body to heal the muscle tissue and vessels, and create new ones, in a much faster and efficient way. In addition, this flow of fresh blood helps relieve stiff joints and muscles as well. Combined with cellular rejuvenation, this helps alleviate pain in joints, muscles, and stubborn pain, like back and neck pain as well.
All much needed after training hard and working out like a champ, or the opposite, having to sit in uncomfortable positions for long periods of time, or even dealing with very stressful situations.
Sticking to a weight loss regime is challenging, training, and changing your body is hard! Sometimes just sitting in a desk for hours at a time can be hard too! Give yourself the help and comfort you deserve and feel amazing while doing it too…. Don’t forget sweating in an infrared sauna always releases happy hormones and regulates stress hormones, so you will also feel serene, happy and will enjoy a great night of sleep! As your body cools down from a sweat it immediately sends a signal to the brain saying, “it’s time to chill and zzz.” We know… Amazing, we will help you achieve your wellness goals always keeping in mind your physical and mental health too. See you soon and enjoy the City Sweats experience!
