THE UNIQUE BENEFITS OF REGULAR HOT TUB SOAKS

Once you begin using your spa regularly, you’ll miss the rewards if you have to skip a day or two. When you soak in a hot tub once in a while, you’ll experience physical and mental relaxation on the spot, but when you soak daily as part of a normal routine, you’ll likely experience:

  • Widespread and lasting stress and tension relief and relief from pain.
  • Better-quality sleep.
  • A reduction in joint inflammation and enhanced mobility.

A daily hot tub soak is just one positive habit you can incorporate into your healthy lifestyle, but doing so can promote even more healthy habits in your day, especially considering the many wellness benefits your spa provides. Watch the video below to discover how a spa can have a profound, positive impact on many areas of your life:

HOW TO INCORPORATE YOUR HOT TUB INTO YOUR DAILY SELF-CARE ROUTINE

With a little bit of planning, you can make your hot tub an integral part of your wellness routine. Here are a few tips for how to weave in daily hot tub soaks seamlessly over the long term:

  • Begin or end your day immersed in your spa. When you make time for a 15-minute soak in the morning, you’ll emerge feeling energized, positive, and ready for the day. Creating a routine for a 15-minute soak before bed can help wind down your body and mind and promote restful sleep. Routine soaks will ensure you don’t miss out on your spa’s powerful wellness benefits.
  • Soak before or after exercise. A 15-minute soak before working out can help loosen your muscles and promote better blood flow. A 15-minute soak following exercise can promote relaxation and the recovery process. If you make time to soak before and after exercise, you’ll experience the incredible benefits on both sides.
  • Choose a high-quality spa with a reputation for durability, reliability, easy maintenance, and continuous dealer support. With these assurances, you’ll easily sustain your soaking routine and reap the wonderful lifestyle benefits that a home spa provides.

The 30-day Daily Soak Challenge won’t only be fun—it just might change your life. Give it a try and let your mind and body decide if being a daily hot tub user enhances your well-being. Just 15 minutes a day is all it takes. We can’t wait to hear about your success!

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SALT WATER HOT TUBS?

Tuesday, October 6th, 2020

For centuries, people have traveled to hot springs to bathe in the mineral-rich waters and experience their restorative powers. These hot springs are prized for their ability to improve health and wellness in a relaxing and natural way. Now you can enjoy those same transformative properties without ever leaving the peace and comfort of your backyard. By adding the benefits of a salt water hot tub to your everyday life, you can more frequently enjoy complete relaxation, avoid the harsh odors, itchy skin or eyes that can happen with a chlorine tub, and minimize the time you spend on cleaning and maintenance.

EXPLORE THE BENEFITS OF
SALT WATER HOT TUBS

1. Hot tubs become more like hot springs

One of the biggest benefits of a salt water hot tub compared to a chlorine tub is its ability to eliminate the unpleasant side effects of chlorine. Many people wish to avoid odors from chlorine and the itchy effects on eyes and skin that some people experience. With a salt water system, you get the more natural feeling, warm and soothing water with several technological advantages shown here.

Natural-feeling water

A salt water system in your hot tub makes the water feel more natural and comfortable for everyday use. With the softer water experience with less chance of skin or eye irritation from chlorine.

Enhance your fitness routine

A salt water hot tub supports your active lifestyle by bringing hydrotherapy into your home. Hot tubs relieve the pressure on muscles and help loosen joints, while also improving circulation. By incorporating hot tub sessions into your exercise routine, you can relax and rejuvenate your body between workouts.

Eco-friendly

Part of leading a healthy lifestyle is maintaining a healthy environment. Thankfully, salt water hot tubs from Hot Spring® spas are eco-friendlier than their traditional chlorine counterparts. That’s because you only need to change the water once a year with normal use. Less water usage and less chemical usage mean salt water systems are easier on you, your family and the environment.

2. Less maintenance

Most home owners want to spend more time enjoying their hot tub than they do maintaining it. Here again, salt water hot tubs produce some tremendous benefits.

Easy to maintain

With a salt water system with Hot Spring® spas, you take the guesswork out of water care. With a little salt added to the spa water, the system generates chlorine automatically and reduces your time spent measuring and adding chemicals. Plus, advanced spas let you monitor the sanitizing system with an intuitive control panel. This simplified system takes the work out of hot tub maintenance so you can focus on improving your health and well-being.

3. Enjoy total relaxation

Hot tubs in general are the perfect way to bring a calming, relaxing experience into your home. Strong chlorine odors, itchy eyes and dry skin don’t belong at a natural hot spring, so it shouldn’t be part of your attempt to recreate that experience at home. If you’re after the experience of a soaking in a natural hot spring at your home, you should look at a salt water hot tub.

5 New Ideas for Family Time

Wednesday, September 30th, 2020

Getting the whole family to turn off their phones and come together for a little quality time is hard. Coming up with activities the whole family will love can be even harder. If you’re looking for some new things to do as a family, here are a few ideas.

1. Yard games

There are few things better than spending time outside, getting some exercise and having fun in the process. That’s why yard games can be a great way to spend quality time with family. You can purchase ready-to-use games like ladder ball, bags (cornhole), badminton or giant Jenga, or you can create your own. Consider building an obstacle course, organizing a relay race or having a hula hoop contest set to your favorite music. Most yard games can be easily adjusted for all ages and skill levels, so you can be sure the whole family will have a good time.

2. Try a new hobby

Trying something new can be a great way to connect with family because when you learn something together, you create a shared experience without expectations because it’s new for everyone. For your next family activity, try testing out a new hobby like cooking, painting, baking or even karaoke. There are infinite possibilities out there, so even if one activity turns out to be a flop, the next hit may be right around the corner. Who knows? The experiences you have today could become your newest family tradition.

3. Cards and board games

While testing out new activities can be fun and exciting, there’s certainly nothing wrong with going with the tried and true. Card games and board games have been a family staple for years because they’re fun, approachable and don’t lose their appeal after just one play. Old standbys like Monopoly, Chutes and Ladders, Go Fish, Crazy Eights and Battleship have all stood the test of time for a reason. Sharing games that you played as a kid can also help bring back fond memories of your childhood as you create new ones with your own children.

If you’re looking for things to do as a family on a budget, try going to garage sales. Many people look to offload old games when their children move out of the house. You may have to create new replacements for missing pieces, but that’s just part of the fun!

4. Explore your neighborhood

Human beings are creatures of habit. We tend to go to the same places, do the same activities, and even order the same thing every time we visit a certain restaurant. Breaking out of the old routine and exploring the community around you can be a great way to form lasting memories with your family while having fun in the process. Go check out your local art gallery, visit a new coffee shop or ask for a tour of the closest fire station (you might need to call ahead).

Almost every neighborhood has that one store that makes you think, “What do they even sell there? How are they still in business?” Go inside and take a look! You may find a hidden gem you never knew about. Not only can these experiences help you form stronger connections with your own family, but you may start to forge new relationships with your neighbors and the people in your community. There’s always something new to discover, and you don’t have to get on a plane to do it. Take a look at your neighborhood with fresh eyes and you may be surprised by what you find.

5. Soak in your own home hot tub

Not every family activity has to involve running around and doing something new. Sometimes it’s best just to sit back, relax and enjoy the pleasure of each other’s company. There may be no better way to do that than to soak in your very own hot tub. A home hot tub can be a great way to reconnect with your family because it provides a distraction-free environment where you can have real conversations. After even a few minutes of soothing relaxation, teens may be more willing to open up and share what’s going on in their lives — a far cry from the one-word answers you usually get.

For families looking for a way to bond and spend quality time together in the comfort of your own home, a hot tub can be just the trick.
