SAUNA VS. HOT TUB (& OTHER PRESSING CONCERNS)

Hello, hello!

Do you need a sauna? What are the benefits of heat training? How can we slow the aging process? What are the basics that we're missing? This episode with Heat Acclimatization Expert and Exercise Physiologist Chris Minson is a MUST LISTEN. We go all over the place, in the best way possible.

If you haven't already, do us a HUGE favor and rate/review the podcast on iTunes or Spotify! It takes 10 seconds and mean so much to us! 

We're also over here talking about a study we found super interesting: Taking time off ('leisure time') isn't helpful if you don't... you know, actually take it and enjoy it. Way too many of us are guilty of feeling guilty on our rest days, and turns out, that could be messing with our training!  Read more: Enjoying Your Off Time (on a Daily Basis)? Why It Matters

As always, thanks for being part of our crew—hope you have an active, healthy week!!
