Heated workout classes seem to be all the rave these days, with more and more fitness studios starting to offer them. And since winter temps are just around the corner, there’s no better way to warm up from the inside out. If you think you can take the heat, read on to discover where you can take heated yoga, Pilates, and sculpt classes in Hoboken.
About Heated Workouts + The Benefits
Some of the benefits of taking a heated class versus a non-heated class are improved flexibility, enhanced detoxification, increased caloric burn, improved circulation, and joint & muscle relief. Many studios use what’s called infrared heat, which is a type of radiant heat that warms your body directly, similar to how sunlight warms your skin. This is different from traditional heated air, which just increases the room temperature. Although the benefits are great, heated classes aren’t for everyone. Class-goers should consider that dehydration, overheating, and dizziness are risks. Be sure to hydrate before, after, and during your workout, and to listen to your body.
