Being in the fitness industry, there are a lot of things that pop up every day that claim to be more beneficial, healthier or in our best favour… I’m sure sometimes you feel like your about ready to throw everything in the air and stick to a simple diet and lots of water! Well so are we. Today we’ve decided to research a little on the new Cryo sessions. If you have no idea what it is and wondering why people are sticking themselves in -120 degrees Celsius tanks for 3 minutes and feeling so good after, then continue reading on and let us tell you why.
“The cold affects only the skin temperature, 1/2-millimetre-deep, and doesn’t reduce the body’s internal temperature or freeze the tissue as does an ice bath. After stepping out of the cry sauna, the super oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood rushes to the extremities and reduces inflammation and spasms by inducing a systemic (whole body) response that promotes pain relief, healing, and a physical sense of wellbeing through the accelerated release of endorphins,” says Chilled Cryospa.
WHY ARE PEOPLE DOING THIS?
Well you know the same reason why people have ice baths? After a tough sporting match, if you’re aching from the gym the previous day, they both provide similar benefits to the body. For first timers, your body will feel more mobile and blood pumping.
THE HEALTH BENEFITS
Increases performance levels. Many athletes use cryotherapy to help them recover faster, with muscle and joints strength increased and increased metabolism. When skin is cooled to 35 degrees F it takes a lot of energy to reheat back to our regular body temperature.
WHAT ARE THE WEIGHT LOSS BENEFITS?
Non-invasive procedures can help increase blood circulation throughout the body and boost the delivery of oxygenated blood, in cases helping you increase your metabolic rate and shed the extra weight. CRYO can assist with your weight loss program in that it rapidly increases your metabolic rate which, combined with regular exercise and healthy eating, is the best way to lose fat faster than you normally would. After your CRYO treatment, your brain signals to the rest of your body to pump blood to your core to increase your body heat and therefore your metabolic rate. Your body is therefore using a considerable amount of energy to heat back up again and this is how CRYO’s whole body therapy, as a supplement to your healthy eating and exercise plan, will assist you to achieve a faster weight loss.
WHAT’S NEXT?
If this sounds intriguing to you and you’re interested in what the next step is you take, pop into your gym and chat with your PT to assess what your goals are. With CRYO sky rocketing these days, you’ll be sure to have one close by where you can visit weekly or however many times you prefer. Make sure to not whole heartedly depend on this to solve all your weight loss problems.
