Did you know that regular sauna bathing – as in a few times a week – can result in long-lasting changes to your health? And with access to a sauna at home, you can see a real difference.

Here are three incredible health benefits that come from regular sauna use.

Banish Unhealthy Stress
Some amount of stress and tension is unavoidable. But chronic, long-lasting stress can cause damage. Luckily, using a sauna each day is a smart way to break down the knots and pockets of tension and anxiety that cause problems.

Deep, Restorative Sleep Every Night
Forget tossing and turning, relax in your sauna and get ready to enjoy the best sleep of your life. High heat increases core body temperature. Then, getting out triggers a sharp decrease in temperature, letting the brain know it’s time to prepare for sleep.

Retain a Youthful Glow From Toxin Free Skin
Even with good skin care, toxins can get trapped under the skin, causing premature wrinkling and breakouts. The intense heat generated from the sauna can remove those toxins. A deep sweat is invigorating and a healthy way to maintain a young, vibrant complexion.

So Go Ahead, Take a Sauna, You Deserve it!
It’s fast, fun, and relaxing. Not only that, it’s good for the body, soothes the mind, and can improve your overall health and well-being.

If you’re like most, your picture-perfect night may include a relaxing hot tub. But sometimes, especially when you have company over, you may want to play some hot tub games. Here are 10 fun games to play in the hot tub that are family friendly.

1. DODGEBALL – Start with up to 5 ping pong balls in the hot tub, the object is to avoid being touched by one of them. Sounds easy right? Well it may prove to be a fun challenge! Each player moves around to keep away from the balls – but keeping your feet on the bottom! Once a ball touches a player, they are out and must get out of the hot tub. And there’s a challenging-twist:  every time a player goes out, another ball gets added in!
2. COLD SHOWER – Fill a balloon with ice cold water. Fill it as full as possible without breaking it. All lucky players – and one unlucky one will sit around the edges of the hot tub. Pass the balloon around and hold it above your head for a slow 5-count and at some point, the balloon will pop, giving the unlucky holder a cold shower. There will be lots of laughs (and shivers!) all around.
3. SLAP SHOT – Make 2 teams. For this game, you’ll need one ping pong ball or any type of floating plastic ball. Each team’s goal is to make the ball touch the opponent’s side of the hot tub. Anything goes! You can splash it, blow it, or push it with waves as-long as no one touches it. Each time a team makes the ball touch the opponent’s wall, they get a point. Feel free to make your own scoring system – like adding points for time the ball spends on the other team’s side of the tub. And, since no game is any fun without risk, the winners get to decide on a fate for the losers. Maybe a pitcher of cold water over the head? It’s your call!
4. SINK THE BATTLESHIP – The name of this game is misleading. Instead of trying to sink the “battleship” (an empty plastic cup) the goal is to try and keep it afloat.  You will need two cups for this game. Set one of the cups in the water in the middle of the hot tub, you will use it to take turns pouring water into the empty cup. After each pour, count to 5 while the cup settles. Then after the 5-count, it’s the next player’s turn to pour.  The player who sinks the “battleship” is out. If you want to add more fun, they will also have to get out of the hot tub.
5. KEEP AWAY – This game will work with anything that floats like ping pong balls, rubber ducks, bath toys, etc. Divide into two teams and let the battle begin!  The goal is to make your floating object touch a player on the opposing team – before their object touches one of your teammates.  Twist is you can only move the object in two ways: air (fan air at the object with your hand) and hot tub jets. Making waves, blowing, or touching the object are not allowed.
6. CELEBRITY ALPHABET – Your mission: think of as many celebrities as you can. But here’s the catch. Their first or last name must start with a certain letter of the alphabet. Here’s how the game works. Player one chooses any letter. For example, they may choose “D” and name “David Bowie.” The next player must follow with another “D” celebrity name – like “David Duchovny. ” You can also mix it up by going through the alphabet, with each player taking the next letter in sequence.                                                                                       
7. CELEBRITY NAME GAME  – This one is simple. Choose a name, then take turns naming all the celebrities you can think of who share that name. For example, “Michelle.” (Michelle Pfeiffer, Michelle Obama, Michelle Williams, etc.)
8. FOLLOW-UP  – The object of this game is to choose any category. For instance, you might choose “animals.” The first person will name an animal. Say they name “gorilla.” Then, the next player needs to name an animal that starts with the last letter of gorilla. It might be “alligator” or “antelope.” You can pick any category – songs, bands, books, food, whatever you want. There’s lot to choose from!
9. INQUISITION  – This challenging game is all about questions. You’ll need to carry on a conversation – without making any statements. You must use a question, or you’re out. Sounds easy? Not so much! If you want to make it even harder? Try this: Player 1 will ask a question. Player 2 answers … while asking player 3 a question also. Here’s how it will work. Player 1 to player 2: “How are you today?” Player 2 to player 3: “Are you feeling as confused as I am? Player 3 to player 1: “I’ve been much better, have you?” Repeat this until one of the players forgets to ask a question and everyone gets a good giggle out of it.
10. HILARITY – It doesn’t get much simpler than this game. And, in this case, simple means “fun.” The goal is to keep from laughing – while repeating the words “ha-ha,” “hee-hee,” and “ho-ho.” Start with Player 1, they will say, “ha-ha.” Then the next player will say “hee-hee,” and then the next follows with “ho-ho.” Keep this going around the hot tub until one of the players (or all of them) burst into laughter.

These 10 fun games to play in the hot tub are simple hot tub games that will easily help you make great memories with family and friends. And, then when you’re done playing, you can lie back and relax in your hot tub!

Summer is almost here! At last, the season of sunny days and evening fireflies is returning. But summer can also bring oppressive temperatures and high humidity. On those days, the hot tub that’s your paradise on chilly fall days, cold winter nights, and carefree spring weekends can seem like a cauldron, sending you in search of a cool shower and wondering if you can use a hot tub in summer. The fact is, there are many ways to use your home spa in warm weather, each more pleasant than the last. Here, we list a few of the best;

THE BEST WAYS TO USE YOUR HOT TUB IN SUMMER

Summertime means many different things to many different people, but it all depends upon where you live. It’s typically too hot during the midday hours in the middle of summer for a warm soak. The good news, however, is that even the hottest parts of the Midwest aren’t hot all day.

Finding Balance with Morning and Evening Soaks

In areas with low humidity levels, temperatures start to drop as late afternoon wanes, and then bottom out late at night. The thermometer begins to rise again as the sun does. In many places, that means twilight, dusk, and dawn are ideal times to relax sore muscles in your hot tub’s soothing water. These windows of spa opportunity are even more open in our area!

Hot-tubbing at night can provide tranquility on par with sitting around a campfire and watching the stars–another popular summertime activity that turns up the heat in a different type of way. Enjoying your spa during the cool morning hours can help you relax and find balance in preparation for a long, hot summer day.

Rainy Day, Soak Away

While areas with low humidity are subject to drastic temperature ranges, areas with high humidity are subject to rain—Mother Nature’s way of beating the summer heat. In some regions, summer rains come daily, sometimes for weeks on end. A summer rain storm can break a hot spell in a snap. The cool peace that follows is an invitation to appreciate the earthy scent left behind and melt into the bliss of your home spa.

If you’re seeking unique tranquility, and there is no threat of thunder and lightning, you can even use your hot tub during the rain. Sit back and enjoy the cool rain on your face as the rest of your body indulges in warmth.

Block Party: Home Spa Edition

Summer is a highly social season—a time when friends and family get together for barbecues or to just while away hazy days in backyards, on patios and decks, and, of course, in hot tubs. Spas with entertainment systems provide the music to match your party’s vibe and the sports and films your guests love. From classic tunes and the latest beats to big games and summer movie marathons, Bluetooth^® technology allows you to connect your home entertainment system with your spa’

s remote controls. You can change the music, turn up the volume, and more while you’re flipping burgers.

Entrancing spa waterfalls and fountains augment the mood, and multicolored LED lighting ushers your gathering into the night, setting the stage for fun hot tub games or stargazing.

Benefits of Hot-Tubbing in Summer

In addition to all the fun you can have hot-tubbing during the summer season, there are health benefits you may experience. After exerting your muscles in the yard or at the gym, your hot tub can help reduce soreness and aching. Not only can a warm spa help release tension, but the buoyancy of the water and the massaging effect of powerful jets contribute, too. Plus, enjoying your hot tub with friends and family can help to improve social connections, as well as your overall quality of life. When the day is done, a 20-minute soak before bed can help improve your sleep.

Owning a hot tub is a joyful experience, no matter what the season. Your spa routine can help anchor your day, your week, or your year, even when the heat turns up. No matter where you live—whether in Minnesota, Wisconsin or Iowa — your hot tub will reward you every day you use it.

The most therapeutic hot tubs can aid in muscle recovery and overall quality of life, reduce stiffness and stress, and improve relationships and sleep. But to take full advantage of a therapeutic spa, you must use it often. A quality spa that’s easy to use on a daily basis and that includes features that best support wellness will provide the most therapeutic experiences.

THE WELLNESS BENEFITS OF A THERAPEUTIC HOT TUB

There are three major forces behind effective hot tub hydrotherapy. Together, they help ease aches and pains and improve sleep and emotional well-being:

• Buoyancy. In water, the human body is buoyant. So, a hot tub soak provides a respite from the constant force of gravity and relieves sore muscles and joints.
• Heat. The warm water of a spa dilates blood vessels, allowing blood to flow through them more freely. This helps flush lactic acid buildup from muscles, especially after a workout, and rushes oxygen and nutrients them to speed up recovery.
• Massage. Water immersion produces hydrostatic pressure that helps to support the body, reduce swelling, and compress the muscles, reducing muscle fatigue. Massaging jets increase the pressure to further enhance these benefits.

Sleep is an important part of your physical and emotional health, and a hot tub soak before bed can help you get a better night’s rest. Your body temperature naturally falls when you begin to drift off to sleep. The cooling period after a warm soak triggers that same natural response. When you’re well rested and able to maintain a regular sleep pattern, you’ll feel more energetic during the day and more mentally and emotionally resilient.

A THERAPEUTIC HOT TUB SHOULD BE EASY TO USE EVERY DAY

Manufacturers of quality spas, including Hot Spring^® spas, are dedicated to doing more than just making hot tubs—they are invested in creating great experiences. The three main factors that help ensure great experiences and overall customer satisfaction are the same factors that inspire you to use your hot tub every day: reliability, convenience, and ease of maintenance.

Reliability. A quality hot tub is carefully engineered and precision-designed to provide you with clean, clear water every time you soak. Top manufacturers, Hot Spring included, are trade certified and recognized with International Organization for Standards (ISO) certification for manufacturing and reliability.

Convenience. If your spa isn’t easy to use, you’re less likely to take advantage of its therapeutic benefits. So, in addition to considering the most convenient location for your home spa, you’ll want to invest in a hot tub cover lifter. A cover lifter makes it easy to remove and replace the spa cover for daily use. A top-quality spa will come with a properly fitted and insulated cover that will protect the hot tub shell and bar top from the sun’s punishing UV rays, keep the water warm for hydrotherapy, and prevent debris from entering the spa and clogging the filters.

Ease of care. The easier it is to care for your spa water and filters, the more you’ll soak. A cartridge-based water sanitizing system, such as the FROG^® @ease^® IN-LINE system, makes it simple to keep spa water clean and balanced. The system releases sanitizing chemicals slowly, over time, so you spend less time on maintenance. Spa filters should be of high quality, easily accessible, and simple to clean. Tri-X^® filters on Hot Spring spas are top loading—inserted and removed for cleaning through a panel on the spa’s bar top. To clean the filters, simply spray them with a dealer-recommended cleaner or degreaser and then rinse with a garden hose. For a deeper clean, soak the filters overnight and then rinse, or run them through a dishwasher without soap. Clean filters will keep your jets flowing at full force for great hydrotherapy massage.

Your backyard is the perfect spot to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee, a game of catch with the kids or an evening of stargazing– and that’s never been more true than right now. With travel plans on hold and many of our usual activities suspended, the backyard has become the “go-to” leisure destination. With so much time spent hanging out at home, you might be looking for ways to make your backyard or deck more comfortable and appealing.

Planting flowers is a simple backyard project that adds beauty and color to your backyard or deck.

WARM UP WITH A SMALL, SATISFYING TASK.

Chances are there’s at least one area of your backyard that could benefit from some TLC. Don’t put small projects off. Repainting or replacing old patio furniture, replanting flower beds, or simply finding a way to neatly store spa chemicals and gardening supplies are all quick, easy fixes. You’ll feel great when your project is done – and you’ll enjoy a better view from your hot tub.

A pergola provides shade and privacy.

CONSIDER YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

Next time you’re soaking in your hot tub, look around and think about how you might improve the experience. Is there something blocking your view of the mountains or stars? A simple tree trimming can clear the way, allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty of nature. If it’s privacy you’re seeking, strategically placed shrubs, a canopy, or a pergola can provide both shade and the coverage you need to fully enjoy your outdoor oasis. Installing a backyard fountain provides zen-like ambiance, and helps block noise too – the flowing water will muffle the sound of dogs barking and passing cars.

Personal touches like potted plants, lanterns, and lights complement the clean, modern design of this Hot Spot^® spa.

SMALL TOUCHES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

Inside and out, accessories are the easiest way to bring a splash of color and add personality to your space. Give existing patio furniture a fresh new look with colorful throws and pillows and add natural accents like decorative rocks and potted plants. Scented candles or string lights are an affordable way to add a lovely glow. From the perfect spa-side umbrella, color-coordinated steps, sturdy handrails, and handy towel racks we offer a range of accessories to enhance your spa experience.

Plants and accessories complement the look of your above ground hot tub.

DESIGN TO ENHANCE ANY SPACE.

Above-ground hot tubs provide you with options when designing your outdoor space. You might position it so that you can enjoy a beautiful view, in a secluded corner for privacy, or close to a back door for easy access.
