Chontel Duncan
“We’ve had the sauna for a bit and originally I started off doing it on my days off as part of my recovery, I then swapped to doing a session right after a workout and I can feel my increased blood flow doing it straight after a workout, it feels phenomenal. Also from an inflammation point of view, I don’t get sausage legs anymore after a workout, I can physically see that my body isn’t holding so much water anymore.” - Chontel Duncan
