Monday's post "revealed" the interesting experiences I had while visiting the sauna at the gym in New York City. Starting on Tuesday, I decided to do my heat training in White Plains at the newest New York Sports Club in Westchester County (which has a 25 yard pool, racquetball courts, and full court basketball). Much, much better, and far cleaner then the gyms in the City I went to. It certainly isn't easy sitting in there for a long period of time. I find myself getting impatient and wanting to get up and move around. Two more days at 35 minutes, then it will be time to move up to 45 minutes. Here's a snap shot of the heat training week so far :
Mon.: 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
Tues.: Day off - traveling for work.
Wed.: 26 minutes at 187 degrees.
Thur.: 35 minutes at 187 degrees in long sleeve shirt and sweat shirt.
Fri.: 35 minutes at 187 degrees in long sleeve shirt and sweat shirt.
187 degrees? Holy crap, that's HOT!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have a better sauna to use, but I can't imagine sitting in there for that long!
ReplyDeleteNice. Maybe it's time to drop your drawers and start doing crunches. I stretch when I'm in the sauna and even that easy activity makes me sweat a lot more. I can't imagine crunches. Yeah boredom is my number one enemy in the sauna.
