calorie burn in sauna

[tekkenfan]

i went to this website about steam rooms and saunas and this is what there main marketing pitch is

• Burn Calories and Control Weight – Burn as much as 600 calories or more in 30 minute session through profuse sweating

how could they say this and think anyone would believe it? why even go to a gym then lmao

Its kinda counterintuitive to me. I would imagine you'd burn more calories by doing an ice bath or something like that. Think about how hard your body must work to try and create enough heat to keep you alive. Plus ive read that prolonged exposure to cold develops something called brown fat which raises your RMR .
