	2007/11/07, 08:41 AM Does going into the sauna and sweating a lot do anything for you besides relaxing your muscles? Specifically like helping you burn calories or fat?

Also helps if you're strating to feel as if the sniffles are coming. My gym has a small sauna, and I use it to stretch (i'm on my own), relax, get warm, and clear up a runny nose. -------------- ----------------------------------- Getting there... one kg at a time... -----------------------------------
