Meanwhile, increased cardiac output and the cooling process make the body use its energy resources. Estimates range from 300 to 600 calories per sauna session (30 minutes), making it comparable to walking or jogging. In the sauna the only muscles working are those of your heart. While the heart is an important muscle, you would gain more from any physical activity, be it walking or swimming. These make your muscles grow and muscle tissue burns energy even while you rest. Not only will you feel better after a workout, you will be burning fat 24 hours a day.
You will sometimes hear of boxers or wrestlers going to the sauna to lose weight. High end athletes can do this for two reasons. First, they only need to lose weight for a few hours, when they are officially weighed. They will drink a considerable amount of power drinks before entering the rink to get their energy back. Second, they are constantly monitored by their physician who supposedly knows when to stop.
I have been asked whether it makes sense to use rubber suits that promote sweating in the sauna. Not only do I consider it unnecessary, such suits could actually be dangerous since they work by blocking the most important method your body has to adjust its temperature.

If you burn calories in the saunas and drink water then you are losing calories and not gaining it back Correct?
There is much debate about the claims by sauna companies that saunas will burn calories. As a fitness buff myself, I believe it is not true. Saunas make you sweat, therefore you may drop some weight -- water weight. Since you have sweat profusely, you need to rehydrate quickly. Hence, the weight comes right back. I know that people are constantly looking for a magic pill, potion, trick or anything else that can help them lose weight easily. The answer is that there isn't one. The key to success in permanent, healthy weight loss and maintenance is healthy eating and EXERCISE. Sorry, no way around it. You simply must burn more calories than you take in. The good news is that after you get over the difficult part (making the commitment and getting off the couch!) it gets easier and easier once it is a part of your new lifestyle.

How are calories important to your bodies?
