How many calories are burned just from sitting in a sauna?

Saunas feel great and relax you, but the weight you lose is water weight. Calories are burned when muscles are doing work and they need the energy. Relaxing in a sauna doesn’t qualify.

Feels good though. Good Luck!!

damn I need to have a sauna!

I stayed in a sauna for a LONG time… and when I got out my skin felt GREAT and I lost FIVE pounds!!

There have been claims of special saunas being made that can make you lose up to 1000 calories an hour. Personally, I don’t believe it at all. If it was true then people would start doind something, there would be an obesity epidemic. People would start buying saunas and sitting in them! There are so many people out there who would love to lose weight..and what’s easier than sitting in a sauna for a couple of hours?

sauna’s do burn calories simply because the heart raises your body temperature which in turn works your heart more. I hear a lot of claims that “sauna’s only burn off water weight” and “you shouldn’t use a sauna because it will dehydrate you” Many of these claims are somewhat true but not completely sauna’s help rid the body of unhealthy toxins and is HIGHLY recommended. Sitting in a sauna is not enough to rid the body of hundreds of pounds but used in a routine with a work out and a healthy eating habit the body will reap much benefit
