Recently while at a luxury resort spa, I spent some time in both a wet and a dry sauna. Never had I truly embraced their aid in wellness until that day. Usually if I wanted a good sweat, I would just work out by attending a spin class or going in a run. With a bit of a back issue going on working out has been on the bottom of my list, so I thought why not give a sauna a try. I will not try to be the expert on luxury resort spa saunas or day spa saunas, but I did want to share with you some information I received from The Sweat Shop in LA. Look below to find all the benefits of a good SWEAT!
