Discovering heat absorption benefits.
Have you ever wondered how to burn more calories in less time while having fun and decompressing from the stress of life?
Well, let me give the deets on this gem I enjoyed visiting by a company named Hotworx!
So on the weekends, I love to find new experiences and interact with as many fun activities as possible. I work from a desk most of the day, so I aim for active adventures, ranging from hiking to batting cages or exercising. So when I received an invitation to work out in a sauna at Hotworx. I was game.
Hotworx is an exercise facility that provides virtual instructed exercise programs while users experience infrared heat absorption. In short, it's a personal or group use sauna you exercise inside while following a virtual trainer.
Now here is how it all unfolded.
Hotworx has many locations in my area of south Texas, and Hotworx also has locations worldwide. Hotworx is located in the U.S. in 42 states, Australia, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia. But since I was back-to-school shopping and just wanted a mommy break, my friend and I visited the Live Oak, Texas site, nestled around all the great restaurants and shopping I was enjoying.
When I first entered Hotworx, I received a Hotworx branded towel for use in the sauna, which was like a present to me. At first glance, I noticed the facility was clean and well-maintained. I also saw no employees were present since Hotworx has select staffed hours during their 24 open hours. In the front of the facility was an area like a mini store; inside was Hotwork branded gear, and a competition board was placed to honor the top 10 visitors in the month. Fingers crossed that I'm in the top ten next month. In the middle of the facility is where the sauna rooms are located, with cubbies, benches, and aroma therapy spray bottles to be used in the sauna to give you extra stress relief. To the back of the facility, There was a section, not situated inside of the sauna, with a large rack of numerous-sized hand weights and strength bands for use.
Next, we prepared for the heat absorption training session; we removed our shoes since no shoes were allowed in our selected sauna room. There was a dial on the sauna to adjust the temperature; for starters, we chose 124 degrees, then lowered the temperature during the cool-down phase of the workout.
Once situated in the sauna room, the session we preselected started. We began with a warm-up and jumped into the ISO training. The workout is completed with a virtual trainer guiding you throughout, so the program is already designed for you. The movements challenged me and pushed me to my limits. My heart rate was steady, and I achieved an intense active level heart rate during my duration and felt terrific. Although the mass amount of sweat was shocking, that's all a part of the detoxification process. Detoxification is just one of the many benefits of the facility, infrared sauna's benefits are excellent including : Improved calories burned, stress reduction, weight loss, and muscle recovery are my favorite benefits.
Some of my favorite benefits I experienced from the virtual exercise sauna:
Recovery: When exercising, it is common to experience sore and depleted muscles, and when it comes to the rescue of sore muscles, everyone is different. Depending on a workout's duration, type, and intensity, some may experience sore muscles within hours, a few days later, or never. I typically experience sore and tired muscles a few hours after an exercise. Still, my experience was different after using the Hotworx virtual exercise sauna. I did not experience any soreness even after the next day; my muscles felt relaxed and revived.
Pain relief: Out of all the fantastic benefits, pain relief is the most significant use for my personal needs.
Pain relief is vital for me because within the last year, to my misfortune, I was involved in 3 car accidents. One in which the impact damaged my vehicle to a total loss, and I endured severe back pains, where I could not perform physical activity how I used to. I would experience sore and achy back pains when exercising or completing daily activities. Because of this, I always aim to provide extra support and relieve stress in my lower back.
To my benefit, the virtual exercise sauna at Hotworx was perfect for accomplishing pain relief. At Hotworx, I began by choosing my exercise. I started with ISO and finished with the virtual recovery yoga session. The workouts in the sauna helped my back feel agile, loose and provided relief for the next few days. This benefit won me over to make recurring visits.
Increased calorie burn: When it comes to calories burned, everyone is created differently; age, weight, and type of exercise play a significant role. From my experience at Hotworx, my calories burned had nearly doubled the amount I usually achieve. For example, in a 45 min cardio exercise, I typically burn 210-260 calories. In contrast, at Hotworx, I burned 510 calories in 35 minutes. What a difference! I saw an instant difference from just one visit. Even with that, consistency is vital to losing or maintaining weight.
Afterward, after I returned home, I noticed a few differences. I showered, sat to recuperate, and fell asleep; I was astounded when I awoke because my 1-hour sleep was the best sleep I had experienced in months. I also noticed my skin was rejuvenated and had a brilliant glow; my complexion was smooth and even-toned.
Just remember at Hotworx, there is a paid monthly membership. Still, participating locations offer a free session to experience the program before subscribing.
Stay sweet.
