What Is the Best Way To Use a Steam Room?


Dating back to ancient Greece, the steam room is a common amenity in pools and fitness centers. Normally consisting of a simple tile room with a steam generator, the steam room is popular for its relaxing effects. Follow some simple steps to make the most of your next steam room visit.

Step 1

Shower first. A shower will keep the steam room pleasant for both you and other visitors by removing any dirt, body odor or perfume. If you use a swimming pool before you take a steam, a shower will also remove chlorine.

Step 2

Stay protected. The moist, wet tile in the steam room can be a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. According to AthleticBusiness.com, bacteria such as athlete's foot and MRSA are serious concerns in shared facilities. Keep yourself safe by sitting on a towel and wearing shower shoes while in the steam room.
For multiple sessions, take a break between streams using cool air or water to lower your body temperature. Alternating between hot and cold helps stimulate circulation.
