Sedona Infrared Sauna

🔥 Can you actually burn calories just sitting in a sauna?

Researchers studied 22 healthy young women during 20-minute sauna sessions at 176°F.

The estimated average energy expenditure? About 119 calories in 20 minutes. 👀🔥

As your body heats up, your heart rate increases and your body uses energy to help regulate its temperature.

Pretty interesting for something that involves sitting still. 🧖‍♀️

Would you have guessed 119 calories? 👇

🔥 What if something as simple as sitting in a sauna could be connected to better long-term heart health?

A 2018 study followed 1,688 adults for about 15 years—including 867 women.

Researchers found that people who used the sauna more frequently had a lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. ❤️

In simple terms: cardiovascular disease includes conditions involving your heart and blood vessels—and more frequent sauna use was associated with better cardiovascular outcomes over the study period.

But here’s the important part 👇

This doesn’t prove that sauna use caused the lower risk. It does show a significant association—and it adds to a growing body of research looking at how regular heat exposure may support cardiovascular health.

🔥 Sauna isn’t just about sweating or relaxing. There’s some fascinating research behind what heat exposure may be doing inside the body.

A Sedona Original 🤣 what do you think should we go for it? 👀😆

Should you use a sauna or cold plunge after a workout? 🔥❄️
If your goal is muscle growth and recovery, timing may matter.
Cold-water immersion after exercise can help reduce muscle soreness and make you feel recovered faster. But research suggests that regularly cold plunging immediately after strength training may reduce some of the muscle-building adaptations from resistance training.

🔥 What about sauna after a workout?
Heat exposure increases blood flow and activates heat-shock proteins—proteins involved in protecting cells and responding to heat stress. Researchers are continuing to study how sauna and heat therapy may support muscle recovery and adaptation.
So if building muscle is your main goal, consider using the sauna after lifting and saving your cold plunge for later rather than immediately after your workout.
