I can't stand heat, but I've told myself I have to try it atleast once.

I think that the "jumping into icy water" aspect of it is just to make one feel like a badaxx; just like walking in the rain without an umbrella, or taking a baking tray out of the oven without oven gloves on. Perhaps it "closes" pores fast, thus locking out dirt... but if you don't get dirty, you're not going to get dirt in your pores anyway.

 

 

 

Actually I've heard that jumping in icy water inmediatly can be pretty unhealthy, worst case can hearh stroke. If you let it cool down a little bit thought it's good for you thought. I've tried it in the winter to forzen lake, frehreshing experiense if you dare to go to in. :P

 

 

 

In summer thought, in a cottage, I remember me and my brothers heated the sauna all the way max we could ans tryed to stick the as long as we could and then run to the lake. Normally the water would feel like it was little cold, but after that it feeled warm, very good feeling.

I have one at home and there is one at my gym aswell, I tend to go in the sauna 2-3 times a week. It's great in the winter when you just get home from work to relax. :D

All I can remember from my past experiences in a sauna is seeing some people whipping themselves with leaves or something. I don't know if it was a bondage sauna or just the 'thing' to do. :o

I envy you. I really do. :cry:

Well I'm from Finland too. Obviously we have a sauna in our house, and I use to go there about 3 times a week. It's just somehow relaxing :D

Yeah, it was fun in there till someone poured beer in it. Didn't wanna stick around for that so we all jumped in the pool :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beer and sauna is a good combination except for the fact that if your drinking beer from a metal can it gets so damn hot! Burn!

I also have a sauna at home, but I've only used it like 5 times in 8 years, and most of those times it was because we had our finish former neighbours over. Though every time I go to the local swimming bath, I tend to visit the sauna. It's refreshing afterwards when you have taken a shower, and you feel very clean, though being in a sauna usually makes me sleepy. Probably due to the heat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Don't try pouring coke on the warm rocks, you will have a pretty bad smell for quite a while, though my friend claims it smells good if you pour some bear on the rocks. )

i never really was in a sauna... i sorta was at macmaster when we had a waterpolo tourny... i went in there for a few second.. too hot. I left as soon as i saw one of my team mates come in with a water bottle... lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Long story short, after i left, i went to the showers... later i was told that my teammates were getting headaches... lol.

Yeah but don't get too drunk and fall asleep. I heard one story that somebody went to sauna drunk alone and fell asleep, the sauna was that kind that it didin't turn off by itself. In the morning the someobody found him and he was roasted like a crishmas ham.

yes it does :P

So judging from the posts in this topic a sauna is a...hot steamy room where you go into naked, that people pee in sometimes. Sounds just like a hot shower to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nobody in Finland pees in sauna... except 3 year old kids naturally :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I go in sauna usually like once a week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am from Finland also :)

Alexander Gustafsson frÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¥n Lindome?

Im from the U.K, and i have a sauna in my house. I hardly ever use it though, but i really should because i'm really spotty and my skin is all gangrous. :P

yeh saunas rock there pretty common in aus.. i would say 1 in every 30 houses would have one but there is almost one at every indoor public pool... or motel

saunas rock I used to use the one at my gym when iw as in college, id love to have one in my house. I used to jump in the pool as soon as I got out of the sauna we sat in for an hour i miss that

As a finn i cant imagine life without sauna. So sauna rocks :!:

Oh yea sauna is great. I got one in my basement too :D

Private saunas are way better than the public ones in the gyms or elsewhere. We have a own summer cottage next to a big lake. Firstly i stay at sauna for 20-40 minutes and then i ran to the lake and take a refreshing dive to the lake and swim couple minutes. It is so relaxing you people should try it sometime :D And im from finland too :mrgreen:

Im from Pennsylvania living in the back woods, and we have one in our house. Ive used it once, and then it was kinda turned into a storage room :( :cry: :?
