I love a good sauna session

I'm curious. And I think it would be good to throw this question out there: Does anyone know why the sauna is good for you?

Also, while we're on the subject...

Do you think that it takes a certain type of woman to love the sauna? Is there a character trait that defines why some women love to steam and some love to sweat it out?

Any thoughts?

Well, funnily enough, I have a few. You see, I think that determined, ambitious, slightly stubborn women love to sweat it out. It gives them the continued satisfaction that even when they're horizontal they're still sweating - still working. They're not taking time off. Or even time out.

For these women sweating it out in the workplace is the burden and the passion they like to carry throughout the office and into the sauna.

And this was the serious realisation I came to, after taking great delight that my sauna tolerance had increased by a hot 2 minutes. I felt more woman than ever as I stepped out of my hot box after 12 gruelling minutes of sweat-dripping pleasure.

I wonder if I can make it to 15 minutes?
