This New Workout Involves Lying Down & Binge-Watching Netflix

Netflix or gym? Hmm… Definitely Netflix. Fortunately, thanks to Shape House in LA, there is actually a way you can do both! 

According to Hello Giggles, Shape House offers visitors a chance to sweat out toxins while watching TV. How it works is when you arrive you are taken to an “urban sweat lodge” where you are put into a “FAR-infrared heated sleeping bag” which heats up to around 160 degrees, where you spend 55 minutes just… sweating. Literally, all you have to do is just lay there and watch your fave shows while your body does its thing to flush out toxins and boost endorphins. 

Additionally, the Shape House website says that you can actually burn up to 1000 calories in a single session. Imagine how many tacos that is! And if that wasn’t enough of an incentive to go, each guest gets a personal spa attendant who is there to make sure you are safe and happy.
