If you’re serious about supporting your cardiovascular health, you most likely fit in a cardio workout every day. But there is an alternative out there that is a lot easier (and relaxing): using the sauna. When you use the sauna directly after a workout, you’re essentially engaging in “passive cardio” as it has been studied to influence cardiovascular markers the same way that any other cardio workout would. For more biohacks of this sort, tune into this episode of Biohacking Beauty with Olympian Stephen McCain.

Stephen McCain is an Olympic and Hall of Fame Artistic Gymnast, World Champion Silver Medalist, and has performed in film, television, and commercials in Hollywood.
