Hi
I have just started to go to the local swimming baths after work on Tuesdays,
and yes I have to wear swimming shorts, booohooo
that is the down side to the evening.
The upside is that the sauna is men only on Tuesday evening,
so yep I am able to have a sauna naked, wow,
now that is worth it, hehe
I spend an hour swimming up and down, with plenty of rests, lol
Then a shower
Followed by 20 minutes in the sauna,
Now when I came out and put my glasses on,
I read the instructions about saunas,
Well,
and this I did not know,
If you spend a period of time that is comfortable in the sauna,
then a cold plunge or cold shower,
you can go back into the sauna again,
and so on until you have had enough,
but then
You need to relax for a period of time before showering again and getting dressed.
I never knew all that,
so next Tuesday I will do just that.
if anyone in the Scottish Central Belt would like to join me, its at Alloa Swimmimg Pool, PM me.
Peter

- MEMemberSep 20, 2009The first time I used a sauna (many years ago) I didn't know I was supposed to carry a towel for sitting on. I walked into the sauna naked and sat down .... right on top of a red hot brass screw head - I was branded ! (everyone else just laughed)

karhuukSep 20, 2009[quote]When I lived in the UK I used to spend hours in the sauna (in and out) on a Saturday afternoon -naked of course. Not only is it refreshing but in the winter time, if you think a cold is starting the sauna is the best place to sweat thigs out.[/quote] I read a while back that the one sure way to kill off the cold virus was inhaling hot air, probably why politicians never seem to have a cold, so a hot sauna really is the place to go if you're coming down with one. Just remember to breath through your nose and not your mouth.ReactReply - PEPeter45Original PosterSep 22, 2009

i swam for an hour, and those swim shorts were a pain , lol
