Hot Tubs and Your Workout

Hot Tubs Improve your Health | (480) 656-7267

There's nothing like a good workout to keep you on the road to good health.  Improved energy and stamina, reduced stress, the benefits connected with exercise have all been fairly well documented.  And using a hot tub right after exercise is one of the best things that you can do right after you exercise.  Why? Well, there are several things that you need to do after a workout.  First off, make sure you're hydrated.  Drink plenty of water to replenish what you've lost while you were exercising.  Follow your workout with something to eat that goes well with the type of workout you've just completed such as high protein and low-fat to build muscle, high levels of complex-carbohydrates for aerobic activity or cardiovascular exercise, and some way of helping your muscles bounce back.

Using a hot tub improves blood flow and circulation to the areas that you've exercised.  As such, it helps the muscles to begin rebuilding themselves and helps you to reap the benefits that come with exercise.  Using a spa works, no matter what type of exercise you've been doing.

Exercise and Hot Tub Use

Look at someone who has just come back from an evening jog or run.  He or she is going to be a bit tired, and a bit sore if they've pushed it.  A hot tub will not only take away the aches and pains connected with the run, but it will help our runner bounce back from the workout quicker so they can do it again tomorrow.  The same holds true for weight training.  Whether you are lifting for strength, body sculpting, endurance, or some combination of them all, you are going to be aching if you've worked out strenuously.   Different types of workouts produce different types of results.  Using a hot tub, however, produces almost universal results in everyone who uses one.

So remember, if you're exercising, keep up the good work.  People that exercise tend to be healthier, happier, and live fuller lives.  Just be sure to support a fitness lifestyle the right ways.  Keep your sodium down, and watch what you eat.  Get plenty of rest between workouts, and drink a lot of water.  And most of all, don't forget the way that you can really help your body after a workout:  use a hot tub to relax.

Using a hot tub can help you manage arthritis pain.  One of the worst symptoms of any form of arthritis is the level of pain that you will have to deal with.  Because soaking in a tub significantly improves circulation while at the same time reducing pain, it allows a person with arthritis to live a better life.  Is a hot tub the key to overcoming arthritis?  No, but it can make arthritis less painful.  While arthritis does not have a cure,  there are ways to make arthritis easier.  For one thing, keep your weight down.  The less stress you put on your joints the better you will feel.  Movement is also important.  Learn to move all of your joints and get regular exercise.  Oddly enough, some of the best exercise for arthritis is simple walking.  You read that correctly.  Not power walking, not speed walking.  Just go out for a walk.

Using a hot tub to help with arthritis doesn't give you an excuse to not go see your doctor nor to stop taking your medications.  Your doctor can also help you manage arthritis pain, and while a hot tub can be a very important part of pain management, it isn't everything you'll need.Take your medicines when you're supposed to. They can also help you to reduce both your pain as well as any stiffness you may be encountering.

What to Know About Hot Tub Use

As with anything connected to a medical condition such as arthritis, make sure that your doctor knows about your hot tub use.  He or she can tell you how much you should use your hot tub, and what to watch out for.

So remember, getting arthritis doesn't have to be the end of the world.  You can make a difference by making a few changes here and there, and adding some things that into your lifestyle.  Read up on new treatments, and join support forums for other people that have arthritis.  Be a bit more active, and one of the best things that you can do is to use a hot tub to help your arthritis.

How can a hot tub help with arthritis?  First off, know that according to the National Institute of  Arthritis and Musculosketal and Skin Diseases:
"There are several types of arthritis. The two most common ones are osteoarthritis (AH-stee-oh-ar-THRY-tis) and rheumatoid (ROO-mah-toyd) arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. This condition usually comes with age and most often affects the fingers, knees, and hips. Sometimes osteoarthritis follows an injury to a joint. Rheumatoid arthritis happens when the body’s own defense system doesn’t work properly. It affects joints and bones (often of the hands and feet), and may also affect internal organs and systems.  Another common type of arthritis, gout, is caused by crystals that build up in the joints. It usually affects the big toe, but many other joints may be affected..." SOURCE ARTICLE

The Best Hot Tub Buying Experience

If you want to buy a hot tub, you want to know what sort of environment you're going into.  There are different types of sales environments and some are better than others.

How to Find a Good Hot Tub Dealer

Buy a Hot Tub from a Low Pressure Dealer | (480) 656-7267

The best type of hot tub dealer to find is one that realizes that hot tubs largely sell themselves.  You should never feel pressured into buying a hot tub that is beyond your budget, or one that will strain you financially.  The sort of sales floor you want to steer clear of with that in mind is one that uses a high-pressure sales approach.  An aggressive sales person can make you feel like you've been had and gone a few rounds in a boxing ring, particularly where your pocketbook is concerned.  Instead of going to someplace high pressure, you want sales people that use a consultative sales process.

What is consultative sales?  Well, if you find someone that uses this approach, they will ask you a lot of questions such as "have you ever had a hot tub before?"  This question matters for a lot of reasons.  The sales person won't have to give you all the facts and health benefits of using a hot tub.  You would already know all about it. People that have already owned a hot tub in the past know what they want and are looking to get an upgrade.

Hot Tub Sales Questions

There are other questions that you're probably going to be asked during a visit to the hot tub dealer.    How big of a hot tub are you looking for?  Do you want one just for two, or do you want to seat eight?  What is your budget?  The answers to these questions will help the salesperson to guide you to the hot tub that's right for you.

So remember, if you feel pressured, walk away.  You don't want to regret a big purchase like a hot tub.  Instead look for a hot tub dealer that offers a low-pressure sales approach.

If you live an active lifestyle, you work hard to keep your body in good shape.  Cardio, weights, yoga, cycling, and other forms of exercise help you to grow and develop physically.  You watch what you eat, keep your calories under control and keep on eye on your overall health, and a hot tub is an important part of a physical fitness regimen.

Because of the proven therapeutic benefits of hot tubs, using a hot tub should already be a part of your routine.  However, because they massage your body and improve circulation, they help to encourage muscle development and growth.  Professional athletes already know this.  That's why training facilities always have a bank of hot tubs on hand.  However, they help in another surprising way.

Hot Tubs and Circadian Rhythm

Do you know what is almost as important for muscle growth as protein and rest between workouts?  It is a good night's sleep.  If you get eight hours or more sleep per night, your body can start to repair muscles that you've torn down from exercise, and build them stronger than before.  And a hot tub helps in you relaxing and ultimately getting a good night's sleep.

So, to recap, a hot tub can be used to help muscular development.  A hot tub can be used to relax.  And a hot tub can help you to get a good night's sleep.  All valid reasons to buy a hot tub today.

This concludes part two of this series. For more information on hot tub use and improved health, please read part one as well.
