If you’re like me, there’s a good chance you (used to) save your sauna session for a rest day, or simply when you have some free time. Which isn’t a bad strategy, because there’s been quite a bit of data suggesting that just being consistent with spending time in this hot box, can lead to some pretty interesting health benefits.
That being said, there’s also a good chance that by doing this you’re not maximizing its potential either. Think about it, you get in cold, stay for 20-minutes, and right when you really start to sweat or get moderately uncomfortable, you get out. Ironically, right when the cellular magic is likely starting to kick into gear.
Begging the question, what would happen if you got in already warm, physically and cellularly, from say a workout…? Would that alter any of its effects or biological outcomes?
Well, good news for us, a research team out of Finland ran the first multi-arm randomized controlled trial testing just this. And what they found may have you switching up your sauna strategy from here on out.
