Infra red sauna

Hi all,

I'm haivng a massage on Friday (late mother's day present!) and I'm getting 30 mins in their new infra red sauna too. Anyone been in one or know about them? This clinic has been on GMTV talking about these saunas. You can burn up to 800 calories in one session and it uses colour therapy to energise or relax etc. Supposedly a fab detox and very relaxing.

Any experiences?

That set off the hooeyometer. I'm sure it will be a lovely relaxing experience though.

My gym has got one (not that I've used it) but I'm sure in the literature they say it will burn off 300 calories per hour which might be more realistic? Be interested to know what you think of it.

? at the hooeyometer. Yes, probably!

If 300 cals an hour is more realistic it'll be 75 for me because I can't stay in a sauna for longer than about 15 minutes ?

I'll let you know what it's like. TBH with a toddler and a small baby a massage and a sauna away from them for an hour will be bliss whatever.

Froma physicists perspective the weightloss thing sounds like complete hooey. Wikipedia says:

Does sound nice and relaxing though.
