How long should you wear one?

• Using a sauna suit for longer than 60 minutes in a single session is not advised.

What are other things I should know?

• First, choose the appropriate suit size for your body.
• Under your sauna suit wear tight-fitting, moisture-wicking undergarments such as tanks tops, long sleeve shirts, under shirts, briefs and other comfortable clothes.
• Before beginning your aerobic workout regimen, put on the sauna suit's bottoms over your undergarments just like you would a pair of jeans.
• Drink at least 6 ounces of water before working out, drink six more ounces every 20 minutes while exercising, and six more at the end of your session.
• When first starting, wear your outfit for five to ten-minute intervals. Moving on to higher impact activities as your endurance improve. Start with lower impact variations of your workouts, such as jogging before running, walking before jogging, or lying leg raises before hanging leg raises.
• Although particular suits may be machine washed, hand wash the item in warm, soapy water.
