We noticed the following funny post on Twitter and it reminded us of one of the benefits of owning a hot tub. Mr. Wright kindly gave us permission to share it in our blog:
His Twitter post:
Mark Wright
“I once had a conversation with a marathoner while in a hottub. She looked me up and down and started talking to me about diet and exercise. She said “The best part about being a runner is you can eat whatever you want.” I said, “That’s also the best part about being fat.” — @markeology
Mark’s funny tweet reminded us about the benefits of using tubs to support weight loss. Studies show that while warm water immersion and hot tubs (hydrotherapy) aren’t thought of as substitutes for an overall healthy regime, taking a spa soak does help with those healthy habits.
Weight Loss/Hot Tubs
For example, the sense of well-being one gets from a hot tub’s hydrotherapy contributes to not needing as much to eat because of feeling more content.
In addition, the hydrotherapy improves cardiovascular performance, so you find exercising easier to do. Plus, other studies show that a soak in a hot tub actually burns calories.
Bullfrog Spas — one of the hot tub brands we sell in our Windham, NY, showroom — says this in a blog on the subject of hot tubs and losing weight:
“Easy Hot Tub Stretches & Exercises
As relaxing as it can be to just sit back and enjoy the hot tub’s water jets washing over your tired body, when you’re ready to get a real workout in, you don’t even have to leave the hot tub.
There are some unique fitness advantages that a hot tub provides. The hot water increases blood flow throughout the body, including to the muscles. This helps loosen tension, allowing a greater range of motion and flexibility. It also aids in preventing new injuries and rehabilitating past ones.”

Studies show that hot tubs help produce long term benefits that include help with weight loss.
