Healthiest I ever felt was when my work gym had an attached sauna (this is Finland), and I was able to visit everytime after workout. It was incredibly relaxing after work!

I can certainly vouch for the blood-pressure lowering effects. I'm a 42-year-old technically obese male and get my blood pressure checked weekly. For many years (20+) it was 130-140+/80+. I started going to a gym + sauna for 20 minutes 5 days a week regularly a few months ago. Last week, I hit an all-time-low of 118/68. It is always in the 120ish/70ish range now. I recommend it to everyone.

Im 50 and Ive starting hitting the gym over a year ago. I use the sauna after each workout and Ive never been sore afterwards. Not once. Not ever. UNTIL, I skipped the sauna for 2 days. After that I was feeling sore. Im not sure about all the benefits of using the sauna, but Im in the best shape of my life, I look great, i feel great, and Im never skipping the sauna ever again. ✌

The sauna is one of my favorite places on earth !
-
I’ve been doing this for years, not knowing there was any proof behind my intuition that this was highly beneficial. Thanks for the video.
-
I go to the gym and use sauna right after. My autoimmune is getting so much better that I’ve started using the sauna!
-
Almost all Nordic Countries Gyms have a sauna and many go to it right after the gym session. Highly recommended.
-
Excellent comprehensive video on the benefits of a hot sauna. I live in Philadelphia and I precisely chose my current gym membership because of their great sauna. I always do it post-workout I will try and do it four times a week instead of the three I worked up to 20 minutes it's usually at 188°, it's old style finish sauna with Himalayan salt in the sauna area also.

Joined a gym recently with a sauna and have been militant about going in after training every time, even if it's just 10 minutes. I'm sure my muscle recovery is better and I'm finding sports injuries recover faster too.

This is great. I have done traditional saunas my whole life, I have had one in every house I lived in both growing up and in my adult life. When I moved 6 years ago, it was the first thing I added in the basement of my house. I bought the heater I wanted and had a carpenter build my 5x8 room for me. I added a 3 minute cold plunge to my sauna routine and it has been a game changer. During covid I only got a sore back and loss of smell for a couple days too
-
Greatest investment I ever did was putting a Sauna in my garage during Covid. Been consistent 5 days a week for a couple years now and feel great. In my fifties recovery from exercise can sometimes be a challenge but this definitely helps.
-
Great information! Listened to this in its entirety post-exercise in the sauna at my gym.
-
As a kid I used to go swimming at the sports complex and after every visit I went to the sauna to dry off after showering. I often remember those times because I never felt healthier in my life than then. All this time I thought that it was swimming in a cold pool that gave the effect, but now this video has got me thinking.

Big Sauna vs Big Pharma
-
I’ve done exercise and sauna lifelong and at 72 I have good health and low blood pressure, meditation helps too! Interesting
-
i always end my workouts with the sauna. Glad to hear news about it being a good thing. thanks for your information
-
Feeling blessed to have access to cross country skiing and sauna! Both excellent cardiovascular improvers and going to the sauna after being out in the snow is sooo wonderful.
-
As someone who strength trains 6 days a week, the sauna is a game changer for recovery.
-
I exercise then go to a steam room and do HIIT , SIT and low intensity breathing combined with all body shaking at fast pace. The steam room has an ice cold water shower inside. I keep hydrated all of the time. I’ve got my HR to 95% and keep it up for 3 minutes then rest. I do that for 8 times.
-
Also, I bought a infrared sauna a few years back and I’ve been doing it almost every day. One last thing I need to incorporate in my plan is weightlifting.
