has anyone lost weight. The claim is that you burn extra 600 calories in 1/2 hour.

I agree with all the comments here. I've had this sauna for a couple of years now and it's still going strong. With everything you sweat out, you most likely put back when you drink water. But, it's great for the skin and great for flushing toxins out of your system which could help with weight loss (along with a clean diet).

I agree with Linda B. that it is mostly water, but I did lose weight. I loved the sweat and felt great after using it. I'd like to move up to a bigger wooden unit.

Yup, you will lose water weight, which you will gain back when you drink some water.

I sweat heavily after 1/2 hour use. But I have not been consistantly using it to know if you can lose weight by using this. Since sweating is good for my health (I don't exercise enough), so I am using other healoth benefits.

The immediate weight loss is usually more water than anything else, however, continued use coupled with a lower carb diet can lead to weight loss as the body has to expend energy to cool itself down.

Yes. I have lost weight using this machine daily. I do 30 minutes in the morning and evening everyday. I also improved my eating habits. I've gone from 188 to 165. My muscle tone has improved in my arms, back, but not so much in my legs. I gained weight after a bad ankle fracture left me idle for over six months. It took about 2 and a half months to get back to my current weight of 165.

Yes you can enter your weight. It also does tell how many calories are burned based on speed and distance.

I think it burns 325 calories. definitely between the range of 300 and 350.

Yes, I have lost 33 lbs. but it includes cutting back on calories as well. I do have a much firmer core!

Yes. I noticed that my heart rate is higher when lifting weights than when doing cardio. It also has a workout feature, it's like a timer you start at the beginning of your workout, and it will only report the calories, steps, or distance for that time only. My goal is to burn more than 500 calories in a workout or just compleat 90-100 minute's. .. my average is 700 calories doing cardio and weight lifting

You can crank the resistance as much as you want. I ride it while watching TV and end up burning 600 0r 700 calories without realizing it. I keep mine on level 2 resistance only because I don't want to enlarge my thighs, just burn calories.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me it was a lot slower. I did lose weight, but it wasn't that extreme. My goal was 20 lbs and I'm about 3/4th of the way there. I can tell you one thing, it did help even when I wasn't exercising and that's always been a problem for me. Hope this helps!

To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you consume. If you spend 4 hours working out, on anything, then eat 6,000 calories, you will gain weight.

I used this product for two weeks and I did not lose a pound the only thing that I can say is that it gave me more energy.This product has not worked for me as far as losing weight.

It has worked for me. I have not exercised or changed my diet since I started taking this product and have lost 7.5 pounds in 45 days. It has really suppressed my appetite too. I no longer desire to munch late at night. I hope this helps you and good luck. I don't think anyone can guarantee you how much weight you will lose, but I wanted to test the product w/o exercise or diet and it worked. The next 45 days I will start exercising to see if it helps.

You get total calorie count at the end of the workout. If you use splits in your timing, you will get calorie burn for each split. I usually use a split for each different exercise.

I only use it while I work out to see calories burned during exercise so I know how much to eat to recover. I don't know how accurate it would be to monitor calories burned all day long as I doubt it takes in resting energy expenditure /basil metabolic rate.

On the high setting it burns about 1 pound per hour. Medium is half of high. Low is half of medium. So two 1-pound tanks will last 2 about hours on high, 4 hours on medium, and 8 hours on low.

No, and you don't need a "calorie counter". The numbers that heart rate monitors and exercise machines report as "calories burned" are basically just made up "estimates". Every body's metabolism is different, and even for the same person your metabolism does not work the same all the time. "Calories burned" is estimated so loosely that it is for all intents and purposes total guess work. Instead pay attention to how much time you are spending in your target heart zone. Your max heart rate is 208 - (0.7 x your age). Ultimately your target zone should be 70% to 80% of your max heart rate but you will of course have to start somewhere less than that and work your way up. You need to pay attention to how much time you spend in the target zone - 20 to 30 mins per day gives you the maximum cardiopulmonary benefit, above and beyond that is for endurance training or competitive purposes. This doesn't count stretching and warm up at the beginning or cool down and stretching at the end. All told, for cardio-pulmonary health, about an hour a day will give you most of the benefits possible. You can of course exceed that, but you won't get that much more in the way of cardio-pulmonary health. Regardless of how much time you spend working out, the "calories burned" estimates really don't mean a thing. Just train to your target zone, stay in there at least 20 to 30 mins, don't forget stretching and warmu-up/cool down, and everything will fall into place. Pay more attention to inches lost than weight loss - as you put on muscle mass, it takes up less space than the fat so inches will melt off faster than the weight. You are replacing flabby fat with firm muscle and the muscle does weigh more. Anyway you don't need to worry about "calories burned" - pay attention to your training zones because that's where the benefits are. None of these devices can give you an accurate estimate of how many "calories" you are "burning".
