    The more I learn about being healthy, the more important it is that I become a multimillionaire and retire ASAP. Need to do cardio in the morning, sauna and ice baths throughout the day, lift at night, 5-6 small meals daily, daily meditation and prayer, and a minimum of 8 hours of sleep at night (and upwards of 10-11 is ideal) for mental health and to maximize muscle protein synthesis.

    Thing is, everybody can try to optimalize as much as possible; bottom line is that 10 minutes of sauna 2-5 times a week is still great, and everything above/below is also really good. Find your own balance. It could be working out 2-3 days a week with sauna/cold exposure after. Everything is better than nothing - remember that!

I usually shower a little hot, then I go as cold as possible for 1-3 minutes, then hit the sauna. You'll be able to sit for much longer periods if you do that, accompanied by breathing and maybe even a sauna-hat to keep the head cooled down.

    I’ve been going to sauna since my birth, and still in the age of 27 I use the sauna about 2-3 hours a week, since we have saunas in rental flat apartments in Finland. Here, you might not have your own sauna in your apartment, but every apartment complex has at least one, which u can use. I get two free 1 hour saunas per week for free, and so do my neighbours. I’m so glad ”saunominen” is a big Finnish thing. And my metabolism has always been great, my blood circulation is great and my skin is in awesome condition. Sauna is a spiritual place for us. You can calm down, think nothing and just let the heat and steam calm your mind and relax your muscles. I love it❤

      I agree completely assuming by sick you mean possible heat stroke/nausea/passing out. I’ve been in the sauna regularly for well over a decade. I just got out of the sauna and came back to this video just to see the comments. This is a very irresponsible protocol to propose. I outlast 99 percent of the people I see in the sauna and I’ve tried to hit 30 min back to back and have still yet to do it. I can get 30 and maybe 18 on a good day. I don’t think there’s many people in the world that can safely do 4 rds of 30 at 210. Someone is going to try this and have a heat stroke. I love Andrews content but this is too much and shouldn’t be attempted by anyone that is not very experienced with sauna. And to the guy on here that said he does an hour without a break, I’d be very skeptical unless it was at 175 or lower.

    in Estonia and other places where they actually have real saunas hot and cold is just a normal life thing. you go in to the sauna heat it up and throw water to get it so hot that you have to take micro breaths or you will literally burn your lungs. you just keep on throwing water and then enduring the heat until you reach a round where you throw on water and your body can no longer take the heat and then you run out and jump in a lake or pond. during winter people will either do snow angles or cut a hole in the lake and jump in. i have ben doing hot and cold sins like 2years old. obviously not staying in the sauna for that long before going out but i always stayed as long as i could and then out in the snow or in the pond with my uncle.

      I was researching this very question, I am doing a similar plan. What I learned is that sauna helps with the recovery process post workout, which means that it will reduce inflammation, muscle soreness and damage, which might slightly reduce hypertrophy when done after weight workouts. Also, there has been a study with cyclists that showed that sauna after intense cycling workouts increases cardio metrics against a control group. So two reasons to do sauna on the cardio days. I personally do sauna after my two interval running sessions, (VO2 Max and Lactate tolerance training), which are both brutal and last about one hour incl. warmup. I recover more quickly with sauna to get back to the weights the next day.

There are a few researches that show overlonged regeneration process if we use cold exposure after training session.
