Any of you guys use sit in the Steam Room or Sauna after you train? I hear the benefits include, muscle relaxation, cleans toxins from the skin and body, and helps with recuperation time. I would think it would also help draw water from the body??

Me either, I sweat my ass off working out. Wouldn't want to even go near one of those things.

Haven't lately, but I sit in a steam room sometimes after a workout. It feels good afterwards. Tried a saunna too, but I preffer the steam room. Sometimes I feel like I could fall asleep in there.

At my gym, you are required to wear swim trunks, I guess because it isn't co-ed and they don't want any sick shit going on. Glad they do.

i did at my old gym. i had a personal trainer that said it(high heat) reduced lactic acid buildup in the muscle tissue. i would slam my oat meal shake that i made before i hit the gym then hit the suana for 15 minutes.

It always looks tempting but I use every spare minute at the gym working the iron -- I would feel like I was slacking. Maybe if I did some crunches while in the sauna...
