Rest is just as important as exercise.

Spending a few minutes in a sauna after your workout relaxes the mind and muscles due to the high temperatures your body experiences. The high heat of a sauna increases blood circulation. A better blood flow carries higher volumes of oxygen to your body, which results in a faster replacement of worn-out cells. Also, the heat stimulates the production of endorphins, known as the feel-good hormones. The reason endorphins are known as the feel-good hormones is due to being in charge of reducing pain and discomfort.

Go the Distance.

Research evidence suggests that bathing in a sauna after exercise can improve your workout endurance. A 2007 study conducted at Otago University in New Zealand tracked male runners taking 30-minute baths at 190°F after their endurance training sessions for three weeks. Results showed that all athletes increased their running endurance. Researchers speculated that by improving the cardiovascular of the runners, their oxygen levels improved, which resulted in enhanced endurance.

Feel the Difference.

The dry heat of the sauna can cause the skin's temperature to reach up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit within minutes. This fever-like effect can help relieve muscle pain caused by prolonged or intense training sessions. The heat effects of the sauna will also help to remove lactic acid from your muscles. This will help you to recover faster from your workout. According to the Harvard Medical School, blood flow nearly doubles when in a sauna. As the blood flow increases, the muscles become more relaxed.
