Best time to use sauna/hot bath?

[SubjectiveIllusion]

How long after a workout would you say its best to wait before going in a sauna or taking a hot bath.

And do these methods assist in any significant recovery?

Thanks.

How long after a workout would you say its best to wait before going in a sauna or taking a hot bath.I guess you should wait 30min or so to cool off

And do these methods assist in any significant recovery?
no

Thanks Mr.X

Thats great, saves me time to know that this was just a passed on fallacy!

And thanks for answering this strange question that barely anyone even looked at, not that I even blamed them, especially now.

No wonder there was not much info on the web pertaining to this.

Anyways, thanks again!

On a side note, I think my hot tub has a placebo effect as I always have a better nights sleep after being in it.

I have read something about it being good for you before sleep

this really has no backup but is going in the direction I'm looking for... I know I've read a study before involving hot water immersion timing for health benefits. I go in my jacuzzi at least once a day... just b/c it feels good though.. if there were an optimal time to do so to aid in lipolysis or even insulin suppression.. i'd do it.
