	2005/05/07, 07:51 PM it cannot....you will simple sweat off water weight...which you will promptly gain right back when you rehydrate your body by drinking fluids....

Speeding up your heart-rate without physical activity isn't actually a good thing. I know some may have differing opinions, but as a person who's had a heart condition since birth I'm just passing along the advise of my 4 cardiologists! :big_smile: :big_smile: :big_smile:

It will "teach" itself to store water in anticipation of the next session. It can be effective if you need to make weight for an event, for instance if you are a couple lbs. off and need to weigh in at some type of competition of some sort. But, it is still only water weight, and will come right back. ============ Quoting from harley2010: i was woundering how a sauna/steamroom,can help you lose weight,or can it even do that?? ============= -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
