the sauna..

My new gym has a sauna.. Years ago I used to hangout in a Finnish bar in Montana that had sauna's, and I always wondered what the heck was the point.. did a little digging, and was surprised to find there is actually a benefit to endurance athletes alleged..  Anyone else use the sauna much?

When I have time... After my workouts, I'll use the sauna to relax ans stretch.
I have seen some of the guys in there with weights working out.

I LOVE the sauna, especially after a run. I always set the timer on before going to work out so that it is nice and hot.

In taekwondo competitions if competitors weigh in too heavy, they will go work out in the sauna to make weight! I can`t even imagine!
