Did you know by adding whole body cryotherapy to your workout recovery you will heal faster and burn more calories? Tired of not seeing results after hours in the gym? Spin classes not enough? Are you doing 1,000 crunches per day and you still cannot see a six-pack? The problem might be that you are working harder, not smarter. In this article we explain how weight loss and toning are largely based on caloric deficit.
Our Whole Body Cryotherapy chamber is the world’s safest and has a pulse-oximeter earclip to measure your blood oxygen during the three minute treatment.
What is a Caloric Deficit?
When you have less calories going into your body it means less fat storage. Calories enter our bodies in what we eat and are either burned for energy or stored for later as fat. This causes a cycle of weight gain because when we do need energy our bodies use what food-energy is available first, and then fat-energy. To break the cycle we have to eat less and move more.
How Can Whole Body Cryotherapy Help?
Cryotherapy can help by burning an additional 500-800 calories per session. That’s more than an hour of vigorous spin, or an hour of elliptical, or an hour of cross-country running.¹ It is also more than the calories in an entire bottle of wine, a Double-Double from In-n-Out, or 10 Dove Chocolate Squares. Cryotherapy is not a weight loss alternative; instead, it is a super boost to your existing workouts. If you are trying to lose weight and have adopted an exercise routine you can accelerate your gains by adding Whole Body Cryotherapy after your workouts.
Not Getting Hurt
In conclusion we know that working out can take its toll on your body, and if you get hurt and can’t work out you might not be able to reach or maintain your fitness goals. The cryotherapy we use actually reduces inflammation and helps prevent overuse injuries. It works by vasoconstriction. This is your body’s natural ability to move surface area blood to your core. While there it is hyper-oxygenated and enriched with inflammation reducing enzymes. After your 3 minute cryotherapy session your body surface will return to normal temperature, drawing your replenished blood back to your sore muscles.
