I've met people who were born in a sauna.

What do you like doing?

I mean, there's certain, there's an elementality to the, to the, is that a word?

Elemental nature to the finish on where you have the rocks and water and steam.

And so it's kind of earthy and wood, you know, it's super simple, right?

The aesthetic is unfinished wood and, you know, a lot of people like that.

Infrared sauna, a little more modern, high-tech.

It's not my cup of tea personally, but it does the job.

And it actually does heat up your core a little bit more efficiently.

But, you know, as far as like the health benefits, if that's your goal, almost any form of heat modality works.

Even, you know, the humble, you know, the cheesy California hot tub works.

works just fine and it gets your core temperature up nicely, you know?

And they've even found that taking a hot bath every day has effects quite similar, at least in the cardiovascular plane, to these sauna studies.

So taking a hot bath, you know, that works.

Anything that gets you hot works.

So you're doing a different thing that's called basically heat acclimation training, and I explored that in the book as well.

And that's a whole other fascinating topic.

Now that the Olympics are being held in these hot places like Tokyo, for example, and Los Angeles,

athletes, high-level athletes, have to do heat training.

Tour de France riders have to do heat training or they just won't make it.
