Tips For You
- Find a sauna that you can use daily. Typically, the best places to use a sauna are at a gym or spa facility.
- Start by going to the sauna twice a week. Your sessions should last no more than half an hour.
- Set the sauna temperature to 150 degrees F. If you can withstand increased temperatures, you can set it even higher.
- Increase the number of days during the week that you go to the sauna. Try to alternate by going every other day for the same 20 to 30 minute session.
- Drink lots of water. If you are using a sauna to lose weight, you can become dehydrated very easily. Remember to drink plenty of water before and after your session.
