Enter Komeda. Now you can relax your way to keeping fit in only 20 to 30 minutes a day. Imagine burning more than 600 to 900 calories in a half-hour session... while you rest! This is the same caloric consumption you would yield from a 30-minute high-impact aerobic activity such as rowing at your peak effort or running a 6 to 9 mile marathon. This now also makes it possible for people who cannot physically exert themselves to achieve the same benefits of a fitness and exercise program. How it Works The idea behind doing any aerobic activity is to raise the heart rate and increase metabolism, which brings on a cardiovascular training and conditioning effect. It is then that calories are burned, leading to the much-desired result of weight loss. Extensive research has shown that exposure to far infrared heat creates the same impact on the cardiovascular system. The rays that penetrate over 1.5 inches deep into muscular tissues and internal organs increase heart volume and rate. The body then cools itself by producing sweat as the heart pumps blood at a faster rate to boost circulation. This likens with the cardiovascular function necessary to burn calories and shed off weight. Compared with the conventional hot-air sauna, Komeda's infrared thermal system produces two or three times more sweat. While the water lost can be regained by drinking, the calories cannot. Experts believe that as far infrared energy effectively expels toxins, it eliminates with it the fat that our bodies use to dilute toxins. Body fat becomes soluble at 110 degrees Fahrenheit and is discharged through perspiration. Far infrared rays penetrate over 1.5 inches deep into muscular tissues and internal organs to increase heart volume and rate, conditioning the cardiovascular system. The body then cools itself by producing sweet as the heart pumps blood at a faster rate to boost circulation.
