So I recently saw a post saying sauna “mimics cardio” 👀🔥 I was ready to ditch my gym membership but decided to read up a bit first.
I mean…
✔️ My heart rate goes up
✔️ I’m sweating
✔️ I look intense
But I’m not exactly running a 5K in there, am I? 😅
Here’s the thing — sauna does stress your cardiovascular system. Your heart works harder. Blood vessels dilate. It’s doing something.
But exercise = training.
Sauna = nervous system reset.
And honestly?
Most of us don’t need another thing to “push through.”
We need somewhere to exhale.
Move your body.
Heat your body.
Calm your mind.
And yes… I will still wear my bike helmet for dramatic effect. 🚴♀️🔥
