How I Burn 500 Calories Sitting Still | Fuel Your Drive Podcast
6/6/20267 min
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I reveal one of my biggest recovery and performance secrets: how I burn up to 500 calories while sitting completely still. Most people think a sauna is just a place to relax, but when used correctly, it can become a powerful tool for fat loss, recovery, cardiovascular health, mental toughness, and peak performance. I break down my exact sauna protocol, why I spend 25 minutes in 170-degree heat multiple times per week, how it helps me train at a high level year-round, and why the last few minutes inside the sauna may be the most important part. If you're looking to improve recovery, increase endurance, reduce inflammation, and build the discipline required to perform at your highest level, this episode is for you.

What if I told you right now, four days a week, I'm burning 500 calories while sitting completely still? No running, no weights, no movement at all. Just me, 170 degrees of heat and 25 minutes. Let's get right into it. So I wanna walk through you through what my week actually looks like, because context matters. I wake up every day at 3:29. Before I do anything, I get into an ice bath.
