The moment you walk into an infrared sauna to do a workout your metabolism begins to go faster. You immediately begin to burn calories at an accelerated pace because your body’s core is heating up. The higher temperature accelerates your metabolism. As your body’s core temperature rises your metabolism speeds up by 10-13 percent for every increase of 1.8°F.
When you exercise in the heat, especially infrared heat, your body will get to the fat burning process sooner. For fat loss, and weight loss, the main component of body fat, triglycerides, needs to be burned up through the process of oxidation. Oxidation occurs when fatty acids are broken down into molecules of acetyl coenzyme A (CoA) and used for energy. This process occurs in the mitochondria of your cells. CoA is an important molecule for many biochemical reactions. It forms as an intermediary in the oxidation of fats in metabolism. In my book, HOT EXERCISE, I provide the following explanation:
Fat breaks down and becomes water-soluble particles at approximately 100.5°F. When fats are broken down into particles, they are more easily flushed by exercise postures, forcing them out of the body through bodily functions, including infrared-induced sweating and through the liver, kidneys, bowels, and lungs.
Infrared exposure, therefore, causes your metabolism to speed up as the waves of energy interact with the cells in your body. This is important, considering that impaired metabolism is associated with obesity. Low-level inflammation is also a contributor to obesity. Compare this fat-burn effect to the melting of candle wax. In the candle-making process, the wax must be heated to its melting point, which is in the 115–120°F range for most types of wax. Fat breaks down as well when your body is heated. (1)
The most difficult part of fitness is to begin a regime and to see results. People who don’t workout have a lower cellular transport and lower fat oxidation ability. So, if your not in a fitness routine, get it going now. Take the first step and make consistency and a commitment a habit to keep you going.
Once you get to the results that you can see in the mirror, then you will be well on your way to becoming a trained person. Keep going to get to this workout state because the truth is, trained people are able to burn fat more efficiently! This is mainly due to their ability to process oxygen in greater quantities. You have to condition your respiratory capacity. It is easier to maintain a low fat state once you get there.
With an infrared training program results are accelerated due to the heat and the infrared energy that are added to the workout environment. The HOTWORX patented infrared workout sauna can help you get to a trained state faster than working out in an air-conditioned gym, hands down!
Accelerate your fat burning with infrared workouts. Do it now!
