Default Natural-lifestyle

Does anyone else here practice a natural/holistic lifestyle? For example, I go to the pool to swim a few laps, soak in the hot tub, and then the steam room @ Gold's, all after my WO's. I walk out feeling pretty (very) good. What do y'all do?

well I'm in school 4 massage therapy. so I'm learning all this stuff.

MONSTAFACE's Sig:in sports my will alone will get me from point A to B no matter what. in weight lifting i must understand that from A there is no B. the goal is constant progression and anything i do to hinder the continious straight line is counter productive. My will must be humbled and my humbleness must be willed

yes......i just type and press enter, i dont proofread i did enough of that in college. you know what i meant when i typed it anyway

I didnt realize that swimming, hot tubs, and steam rooms were part of a holistic lifestyle ...

Then, can you tell me how detoxifying (sweating, with sufficient rehydration) is not part of it?... On another note, here is a good (I think) site that describes different vitamins, among other things such as amino acids, glutamine, and so forth. http://www.healthvitaminsguide.com

The actual weightlifting portion lasts about 35 min. Then, I do some cardio for about 25 min, followed by about 4-6 laps in the pool, 10 min. in the tub, and another 10 in the steamer.

Just my opinion....I go to the pool to swim a few laps, soak in the hot tub, and then the steam room @ Gold's, all after my WO's...all good.
