I would like to introduce you guys to one of my favourite L.A spots, Sweatheory. Located on North Cahuenga Blvd in Hollywood, this cute little sanctuary offers health shots, vitamin injections and my fave, infrared sauna.
An infrared sauna differs to your standard Swedish sauna as it heats up your body from the inside, rather than heating the air. This offers you a lot more health benefits! One 30 minute session in an infrared sauna can help with detoxification, weight-loss, circulation, pain relief, blood pressure, skin purification, cell health and wound healing. Hence why it's one of my favourite 'workouts' for a rest day. The heat immediately helps relieve my stress and any aches my body have seem to melt away. I try to stay in for 45-50 minutes, but it is best to go at your own pace and come out from the sauna when necessary. A medical journal recently released a statement that in 30 mins of your infrared sauna session, you can burn up to 600 calories. The heat rapidly raises your heart rate and calories are burnt as the body try to keep its temperature normal. Pretty cool stuff!
On your sauna days, hydration is extra important. Make sure you replace the fluids you have lost by drinking plenty of water. Sweatheory also offer mineral shots after your treatment to replace any that are lost in the sauna. During your session time, you can take your phone in to the sauna, which is a feature that I love! The heat from the sauna isn't wet, so you phone is safe in there. It may get a but hot so I place it on the floor of the sauna when I'm not using it (that where it is coolest in the box).
For more info on the benefits of the infrared saunas, you can check out Sunlighten Sauna's website. They make my fave saunas (complete with Netflix TV screens in the sauna room!).
