Utilizing a sauna, and steam room, in PE

I mentioned in a previous post that we are in the process of building our house and that I will have a private office / man cave.

I’m realizing we could have space for a sauna, whether traditional or infrared, in that office.

Some questions:

1. If affordable, should I pursue one of these units for general health and PE?
2. If I did, would people recommend the traditional sauna or infrared?
3. Would you prefer to PE in such a sauna above, or a steam room?
4. What exercises might be better in a sauna versus a steam room? For example, sauna for hanging versus steam room for jelqs or stretching?

The placement of the sauna, if clear glass doors like most have would be awesome, because I’d be able to watch tv while hanging in the sauna and could do a clamped set in the shower to cool off between sets.

Great thinking. As a finn this should have been personallly utilized already but never did.
I suggest you to invest in traditional sauna with finnish made electrical sauna stove.

Whole body relaxation and slight bodily temperature elevation should be beneficial at least in some measure.

Skin temperature can elevate quite a bit and buchs faschia and tunica being near below the surface it could make a difference.

Here is attached a link to a chart taken from finnish study about sauna influencing bodily temperatures.

Thanks Kyrpa,

Will continue to do research.

My wife doesn’t seem against it, so I may get permission to search out the right unit for the space.
