How Do You Really Burn Calories In An Infrared Sauna?
Infrared saunas create a cardiovascular workout on the body, especially during higher temperature sessions that can increase your heart rate to 150bpm. Studies have shown that physiological parameters were significantly increased in young sedentary and overweight men in just 4x 10 minute sauna sessions. Because infrared saunas heat the body directly instead of the space around you (like traditional steam or hot rock saunas do), your sessions can be more effective and much more comfortable.
Incorporated into a healthy lifestyle, regular infrared sauna use will help to boost your weight loss results and you’ll also get to enjoy all the other benefits too! Using infrared saunas have been shown to:
- Improve sleep (better sleep can also help you achieve your weight loss goals - a lack of sleep can increase the hormone ghrelin which makes us feel hungry and decrease the production of leptin, the hormone that makes us feel satisfied)
- Improve skin (infrared saunas penetrate deep into the body helping to push out and remove heavy metals and toxins)
- Aid in muscle recovery
- Reduce pain

How Many Calories Does An Infrared Sauna Burn?
It is hard to determine exactly how many calories does an infrared sauna burn because many variables can have an impact - such as body type. Our team will guide you around how best to use your infrared sauna to support your weight loss goals.
To boost your weight loss results, we recommend using your infrared sauna regularly - at least 3 times a week. We also recommend having a cold shower after your sauna sessions as this can activate cold shock proteins in the body, which may also help assimilate fat.
