What if I told you there was a way to simply relax and become a better athlete? Sure, you’d still need to actually train, but you could boost how far and how fast you could run simply by sitting?

It’s heat. Specifically in the form of hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, and hot tubs.

You’ll learn:

How various forms of heat can improve your health and performance

Why heat wins over cold for most injury treatment, and

Which is better for athletes, a hot tub or a sauna?

I’ll also share my personal experience with my hot tub and my new favorite activity, especially in the winter months.
