Hey friends! I hope you’re having a great morning. I’ve been on some adventures lately—I’ll share more on my IG stories—and today, I’ve got client calls lined up. But I wanted to take a moment to talk about something I’ve been missing during my travels: my trusty sauna blanket. I can’t wait to use it again!
Why Saunas Are Amazing After a Workout
We all know exercise is essential for health—it strengthens muscles, boosts heart health, uplifts mood, and helps manage weight. But what you do after your workout is just as important. One practice that’s gained popularity is hitting the sauna. Whether it’s a traditional sauna or an infrared one, sweating it out can amplify recovery and overall wellness. Here’s why:
How Saunas Work
A sauna is a heated space (typically 150°F–195°F) that raises your core temperature, increases your heart rate, and dilates blood vessels. This process mimics mild cardiovascular exercise and promotes sweating, which helps detoxify your body and improve skin health.
10 Benefits of Using a Sauna Post-Workout
- Reduces Muscle Soreness: Increases circulation and helps remove lactic acid buildup.
- Speeds Up Muscle Recovery: Enhanced blood flow delivers nutrients and oxygen to muscles faster.
- Supports Heart Health: Regular use can improve blood pressure and circulation.
- Aids Detoxification: Sweating helps eliminate heavy metals and toxins.
- Improves Skin Health: Clears pores and leaves skin looking brighter.
- Reduces Stress: Heat relaxes muscles and calms the nervous system.
- Boosts Mood: Heat exposure stimulates endorphin release.
- Enhances Sleep Quality: Lowers cortisol levels, promoting deeper sleep.
- Increases Flexibility: Warms up muscles and joints for better range of motion.
- Supports Consistency: Creates a post-workout ritual that motivates you to stay active.
My Go-To Sauna Solution
If you don’t have access to a traditional sauna, I highly recommend trying a sauna blanket. It’s a convenient at-home option that I use regularly. Don’t forget to hydrate and refuel with a healthy snack after your session!
Final Thoughts
Consistency is key when it comes to wellness practices. Start with a few sessions a week, listen to your body, and consult your doctor if you have any health concerns.
