While this might not be the typically 140f that most outdoor saunas get to but that kind of heat is very hard to take for periods of time longer than 20 minutes –especially for that just starting out. Now you will need a seat –I’d suggest using a plastic garden chair, wood may warp.  You need fill the hater with water and of course you’re going to need a towel as well.  This 11 pound sauna is portable and the low prolonged heat would be good for anyone that is trying to recover from any kind of deep tissue injury or muscle pain.
