People who exercise and use the sauna can experience a synergistic health benefit—with a nearly 70% reduction in mortality risk among fit frequent sauna users. Research also shows that adding sauna to the tail end of your aerobic workout can have incredible benefits for heart health, VO2 max, and endurance performance. Runners who used the sauna for 20 minutes after aerobic exercise training enhanced their VO2 max by 6% and endurance performance by 12% compared to exercise training without the sauna. Their blood pressure and cholesterol even improved. Not only did post-exercise sauna bathing lead to better exercise performance in the heat, but it also improved the runners' performance in moderate conditions, suggesting that the benefits occur regardless of the environment. The minimum effective dose is 2 times per week for 20 minutes at a temperature of 175 degrees Fahrenheit or more. Do it as close to the end of your training session as possible to maximize the benefits. You can learn more about the benefits of sauna for aerobic and resistance training in the latest episode of the Found My Fitness podcast, where @B_holmer and I distill expert advice on how to train.

An intense two-year exercise regimen, gradually increasing to 5–6 hours per week, reversed up to 20 years of age-related structural changes and stiffness in the hearts of sedentary 50-year-olds This is the protocol, totaling 5-6 hours per week, that Dr. Benjamin Levine and colleagues utilized: • Norwegian 4x4 interval training (once a week, later increasing to twice a week, and eventually going back to just once weekly) • Light aerobic activity on recovery days (on days following interval training sessions, participants engaged in light exercises lasting 20 to 30 minutes ) • Endurance base building (an hour-long, or longer, endurance session and a 30-minute base pace session each week) • Strength training sessions twice weekly Exercise is indeed medicine
