    Benefits of a Hot Bath

    -Can you get the benefits of exercise without exercising? In the last century, as more people moved off small, family-owned farms to live in large cities and towns, the exercise they experienced decreased dramatically. Over the next several decades, an entire exercise industry emerged.

    New fitness experts had two ways of marketing their workouts. The programs or devices were either so easy a child could do it, or they pushed you to experience limits you didn't think possible.

    Using a hot tub or hot sauna after a workout was one of the strategies some used to increase their calorie burn after working out. Apparently they were on to something.

    Hmmmm, interesting - I take hot baths all the time - I prefer a hot, steaming bubble bath over a quick shower any day...

    Who knew they were so beneficial?

    Or take the shower after to wash all them off. Taking a bath is like bathing in your own filth. And then when you stand up it coats you on the way out.

    Too bad our parents generation didn't know that...the whole family used the same bath water sometimes.

    I prefer a long hot bath but being a person of mature age, it is harder to get in and out of the tub. Tmi....forget I said that!
