does a sweat lodge/sauna count as a workout?
I went to a sweat lodge last week and am going back tomorrow,
it was about 200 degrees plus steam. And standing up felt like it took
more energy than swimming 2000 yrds... so can I add it to my workout?
and I was sweating the whole time, that means it was hard work right?

just wondering! Jamie

IMHO and speaking from ignorance (which I am quite an expert at) to be a workout would require elevating your heart rate to some degree and/or working your muscles in some way, shape or form.

Thead convergence: The stupidest thing I've ever heard in a sauna: "Man! it's hot in here!"

Tim Edwards - that's kind of the point...

I supose it depends on what you do in the sweat lodge (or who you are with?)

Is that too racy?

I am just surprised Gary didn't bring it up.
