The FIA (Fitness Industry Association) is the trade body which represents every reputable organisation in the health and fitness industry. They currently represent over 2800 operators in the public and private sectors, as well as 250 supplier organisations. These organisations have to adhere to the FIA Code of Practice.
The FIA have recognised that infrared saunas can be used as part of healthy lifestyle and here at Aqualine Saunas we’re delighted to be FIA approved.
A 30 minute sauna session can burn up to 300 calories and any of the Aqualineinfrared saunas will provide this benefit.
You can easily produce up to half a litre of sweat during a 30 minute infrared session. This is the equivalent of 300 Kcal, and all you have to do is sit and relax.
Anyone being used to the heat in a sauna could easily burn 600 to 800 Kcal and you will lose weight much easier than in a traditional sauna.
However it’s not recommended that you use the sauna as a sole fitness tool. It’s important that you work your muscular and cardiovascular systems to maintain a good base level of fitness.
The FIA has an excellent website to help you locate FIA approved members. And why not see how healthy you are by completing a questionnaire here.
