Weight Reduction and Cardiovascular Exercise

Burn 300-500 Calories in a 30 Minute Cabin Sauna Session! As part of a physical reaction, the body will cool itself as it is exposed to the low level heat from an Infrared Sauna. This cooling process actually raises the heart rate and not only increases cardiac output, but also one’s metabolic rate. This process provides the same benefits as cardiovascular exercise.  Regular Far Infrared Sauna sessions are an effective way of conditioning the body and burning calories. The heat from a Far Infrared Sauna penetrates the body 1 – 2” extracting toxins stored in fat cells out through one’s pores in the form of perspiration.

“A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 grams in a sauna, consuming nearly 300 kcal, which is equivalent to running 2-3 miles. A heat-conditioned person can easily sweat off 600-800 kcal with no adverse effects. While the weight of the water loss can be regained by drinking water, the calories consumed will not be.”
