A 45-minute sauna session burns approximately 79 to 158 calories depending on body weight and sauna type.

A 45-minute sauna session is an extended duration best suited for experienced users with good heat tolerance. This duration is particularly popular for infrared saunas, which operate at lower temperatures and allow for longer sessions.

Best Sauna Type for 45 Minutes

Infrared saunas are ideal for 45-minute sessions because:

  • Lower air temperature (45-60°C vs 70-100°C) is more comfortable for extended periods
  • Radiant heat penetrates tissue more deeply
  • Less intense cardiovascular strain allows longer sessions
  • Easier to maintain hydration

45-Minute Protocol with Breaks

For traditional saunas, consider this approach:

  1. Round 1 (15 min): Initial heat exposure
  2. Break (5 min): Cool shower or rest, hydrate
  3. Round 2 (15 min): Second heat exposure
  4. Break (5 min): Cool down, hydrate again
  5. Round 3 (10 min): Final shorter round

Who Should Avoid 45-Minute Sessions

  • Sauna beginners - build up tolerance first
  • Those with cardiovascular conditions
  • Pregnant women
  • Anyone taking medications that affect heart rate or sweating
  • Individuals prone to dehydration

Important: Extended sauna sessions require significant fluid replacement. Expect to lose 500-800ml of water. Always have water available and exit if you feel dizzy, nauseous, or lightheaded.
