I moved to Finland, and soon settled into a routine of going twice a week. Generally a session lasts for an hour or ninety-minutes:
* Take a shower.
* Go to the sauna, and sit there for 10-15 minutes. Temperature around 95-100.
* Come out, drink a beer, sometimes in the lobby, sometimes on the balcony, sometimes outdoors wrapped in a towel. The latter is especially satisfying in winter when the outdoor temperature is -15, -20, or so.
* Have a shower, and go back inside.
The process repeats 2-4 times, until I'm nice and relaxed. Monday & Friday is my average routine, but if friends are coming over I might do an extra session.
- trhway 5y ago>Temperature around 95-100. lucky bastards. Judging that such setting is everywhere here in US, it looks like some public standard prohibit higher than 160 or something like this. Playing with the temperature sensors (like cold toweling it) i usually can get it to only 180-190F at some places with 195F (90C) at best.
- stevekemp 5y agoThere are often mini-saunas at the local swimming pools which have similarly underwhelming temperatures. They're nice, but they're not as nice. (Though I suspect in my case at least partly because if I go to a pool I often have a five year old with me, and he wants to leave very quickly - plus I've come to associate drinking beer with being near a sauna!)
- olegious 5y agoJust cover the internal thermometer with a wet towel or sock, that lets the temp rise beyond the low limits they set.
- Gravityloss 5y ago95-100 C is hot. I prefer 65-70 C. Depends on sauna, moisture, ventilation etc though.
- bamboozled 5y agoI think they meant Fahrenheit ?
- Gravityloss 5y ago100 F is 37 C. That's not a sauna (maybe in Sweden).
