Bad for your skin?? how is it bad for your skin to sweat? lol. I piss on my back it seems to help. squirt it over my shoulder
You should read it properly. I was saying the sauna is good for your skin. Meaning most gear can cause modest sides such as acne so even if it doesn't make you lose much/any weight if you have one in your gym it would be beneficial to use it. Then you get a cold shower straight afterwards.
Just read the other reply about the benefits and that pretty much sums it up. I was just unsure if it attacks water weight or overall weight in general. Cos it is effective method when boxers/fighters need to make weight. I would never recommend this (at all) but if they need to lose lots of weight they will sit in a sauna fully clothed and go through hell and back till they sweat it off. I have heard of people losing 8 pounds in many hours of bearing the heat. That is an extreme method though just if they have to make weight and are struggling with little time remaining. They usually end up collapsing cause it is not good for your body.
Yeah the sauna is great for overall well-being. You always feel great if you have regular saunas and you get rid of all the toxins and ill health. Thats why I am gonna join the new gym by mine as it has everything.
