Build a heat routine you will actually keep
Most people use a new sauna hard for two weeks and then barely at all. This worksheet builds a schedule around the week you actually have, not the one you imagine.
What you plan
- Session length and frequency matched to your experience level
- Where sessions realistically fit around work, training and sleep
- Warm-up, session and cool-down structure
- Hydration planning before and after
- A simple log so you can see what you actually did versus planned
- Clear stop signals — when to end a session early
Start shorter than you think. The people who still use their sauna a year later almost all began with sessions that felt slightly too easy, on a schedule that fit an ordinary week.

Not medical advice. A general wellness planning tool only — not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Heat exposure is not suitable for everyone. Consult a qualified clinician before beginning any heat-bathing routine, particularly if you are pregnant, have cardiovascular disease, low or high blood pressure, diabetes, are taking medication, or have any medical condition. Never use a sauna after drinking alcohol, and leave immediately if you feel dizzy, nauseous or unwell.
