Sweat, not Sweets
Instead of grabbing that holiday treat, grab your yoga mat and head to Drenched! With all that extra holiday sugar around, don't let stress and feeling overwhelmed tip the scales! If you find your hand in the goodie bowl, ask yourself if sugar is what you need or if there is a better fix for what you are really craving. Are you actually hungry, or are you tired, bored, stressed or looking for a quick pick me up? Make a pact not to use Halloween treats to feed your hidden hungers. Try a quick workout and see if that sugar craving subsides. Drenched is giving away a free week of membership - so there's no better time to give it a try!

Hit the Infrared Sauna for a Big
Boost in Human Growth Hormones
What is human growth hormone (HGH) - and why do you want it? This naturally-occurring biochemical is what prevents muscles loss and atrophy. As we age, our HGH drops, and by no coincidence, so does our healthy muscle mass. There is a natural way to improve levels of HGH. As your body works to maintain its core temp while sweating out toxins in a far-infrared sauna, it gradually becomes adjusted to the heat, leading to some welcome changes in your physiology. Among them: increased plasma volume; upped blood flow to muscles and heart, increasing athletic endurance; and increased muscle mass, thanks to higher levels of human growth hormones and heat-shock proteins.
