5 Tips for Maximising the Benefits of Your Health Suite Session
A session in the health suite at our centres is a great way to unwind, relax, and rejuvenate your body and mind. Whether you're enjoying the soothing heat of the sauna, the gentle steam of the steam room, or the bubbling warmth of the spa pools, you're in for a treat.
As Autumn arrives, bringing its cosy atmosphere, we’ve gathered five tips to maximise your health suite session benefits and enhance your relaxation.
1. Hydrate Before and After
Proper hydration is essential when using the health suite. The heat and steam can cause you to sweat, leading to fluid loss. To avoid dehydration, be sure to drink water before and after your session. Hydrating beforehand helps prepare your body for the heat, and rehydration afterward is crucial to replace lost fluids.
2. Shower Before Entering
A quick shower before entering the health suite is not just a courtesy, it's a hygiene and health practice. Showering helps remove excess oils, lotions, and any lingering dirt from your skin. This not only keeps the suites clean, but also ensures that the heat and steam can penetrate your skin effectively, providing maximum benefits.
3. Manage Your Time
Time management is key to getting the most out of your session. Most health suites recommend spending about 10-15 minutes in the sauna or steam room, followed by a cooldown period. It's essential not to overstay in the heat, as it can lead to discomfort or overheating. Always listen to your body and step out if you feel uncomfortable.
4. Cool Down Gradually
After your heat session, take a moment to cool down gradually. A sudden shift from hot to cold can be a shock to your body. Consider a lukewarm shower or sitting in a cooler area of the health suite for a few minutes to allow your body to acclimate before stepping into a cold plunge pool or shower.
5. Reap the Relaxation Benefits
Remember that a health suite session is not just about physical benefits, it's also about relaxation and mental well-being. Take this time to unwind, clear your mind, and let go of stress. Bring a book, listen to calming music, or simply focus on your breath to enhance the relaxation benefits.
A health suite session at our centres can be a delightful and therapeutic experience, when approached mindfully.
By following these five tips, you'll not only maximise the physical benefits but also enhance your overall well-being.
Enjoy your time in the health suite, and let it be a retreat where you can escape, recharge, and come out feeling revitalised and refreshed afterwards.
