Saunas don’t replace exerciseSaunas and exercise both heat up your body and make you sweat, but there aren’t many similarities aside from that. Using hot baths or saunas shouldn’t be considered as a substitute for exercise. Use common sense and check with your medical provider if you want to use a sauna to manage a health condition. Spending time in a sauna has also been linked to temporarily lowered fertility because heat impairs the production of sperm. Hydrate well, don’t go alone, and don’t expect the sauna to do things that saunas can’t do.
