What Weight Loss and Hot Tubbing Have In Common

Do you want to meet your weight loss targets and get a relaxing massage while you do it?  

Hot tub soaks not only reduce stress, but also counter the effects of cortisol, a naturally occurring hormone in our bodies related to weight gain. Soaking in a hot tub can change your physiology and make it easier to shed unwanted pounds. 

Soaking as a Workout Tool   

If you combine your fitness workouts with hot tubbing, you’re better able to stay toned. Along with a healthy lifestyle and quality sleep, weight loss goals become more achievable.  

Your swim spa or hot tub also acts as a conduit to better health, when you stick to a weekly regime of exercise days, followed by recovery.  Why not also use your spa as part of your recovery toolkit? 

Swim spas can guide effective workouts because of built-in swim spa jets engineered to keep you afloat and aligned.  Just add bars, handles, and resistance bands to your spa for varying resistance training. Hot tubbers may equally enjoy stretching and other exercise benefits in our larger spas.  

While soaking away any stressors, why not lengthen those muscles by gently twisting your torso, lengthening your hamstrings, or stretching front shoulders?  By keeping your spa in the right temperature range, and following safe procedures, you can also arm lift, leg kick, or work your core muscles for longer durations.   

Cortisol, Recovery, and Sleep 

Studies have found that higher cortisol levels in our blood streams make us crave higher fatty and sodium foods in an effort to self soothe. Higher cortisol levels trigger increases in body fat increases, especially in the abdominal region.   

By calming our breathing and relaxing our muscles – reducing cortisol levels, a 20 minute soak near bedtime acts as a catalyst for longer, uninterrupted, and deeper sleep. This in turn revitalizes the body to fight off aches, infection, disease, and unwanted pounds.   

As we age, it’s important to stay active, especially outdoors.  Hot tubs not only lower our blood sugar levels and promote an active lifestyle, but can help heal injuries that are part of the sporting life.    

By reducing inflammation after a 15-20 minute soak and eating plenty of whole foods, fruits, and vegetables, we’re better able to find healthy weight solutions.
