Hot, Happy FUN in the Sauna: Fit It In Right Now

All you need for fun in the sauna is to sit or lie on a towel on a bench in a small, hot room, clad all in wood. The heat makes you feel happy. That’s because it releases endorphins. Your muscles relax, your heart beat rises and your blood vessels expand. Your stress melts away and you have the satisfaction of knowing that it’s doing your heart and cardiovascular system good*.  It can also ease arthritic pain and sore muscles.

Fun in the Sauna

But it isn’t just about health. Above all, it is FUN. The sauna in the photo is outside, near a hot tub surrounded by trees  which adds another layer of relaxation and health benefits.  The day that we went the temperature was zero degrees centigrade (32F). So we benefited from cold, heat and nature!  We loved it and had a great time.
