7. Don’t Sit in the Steam Room After Your Workout
Halaas knows the humidity can help moisten dry nasal passages, but cleanliness is her number one concern. A slightly neglected steam room plus two or three sniffly people can be the worst place to warm up after an outdoor workout.
Do confirm that your gym’s steam room is clean (staff should wipe it down hourly, and you shouldn’t see any cracks in the walls, floor or ceiling), says Halaas, and wrap yourself in a clean towel and wear flip-flops.
