HEAT IT UP If you like it hot, check out a virtually instructed exercise program created for users to experience the many benefits of infrared heat absorption. Choose from a 30-minute isometric workout or 15-minute high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session. As the infrared heat penetrates your body, causing you to sweat, the isometric postures further accelerate detoxification by physically removing the toxins from your organs through muscle contraction. The patented sauna combines heat, infrared and exercise, or what they call “3D Training” and makes HOTWORX a workout unlike any other.
