The Best Time of Year to Use a Hot Tub
As hot tub owners ourselves, we often get asked the question, “What is the best time of year to use a hot tub?” The answer for us is a pretty easy one: all year long! Each season has different benefits, but the overarching reason is that soaking in our hot tub makes us feel better every day.
In this article, we look at the different times of the year and focus on some of the therapeutic benefits of hot tub soaking.
What is the best time of day to use your hot tub?
We think this is a personal decision. First, it has to make sense in your schedule. Second, there are benefits to soaking at different times of the day.
So, think about your time, your goals, and what feels best to you.
Morning Soaks
This is a great way to start your day. You can spend 15-20 minutes in the great outdoors enjoying the sun coming up and the birds chirping.
You can even enjoy your morning coffee in your hot tub while you’re having your morning hot water hydrotherapy massage.
By soaking in the morning, you loosen your muscles and refresh your mind so you can start your day on the right foot.
In addition, there are benefits to soaking in the morning either before or after your workout.
Evening Soaks
Soaking at night also has many therapeutic benefits. First, if you soak about 90 minutes before bed, you may have an easier time falling and staying asleep.
In addition, soaking at night is the perfect spot to catch up with your spouse and your children, and it is distraction-free (think no cell phones!).
Evening soaks are also the perfect time to destress after a long, busy day. You can also use your evening soak before or after your workout to soothe your aching joints and muscles.
What is the best time of year to use your hot tub?
Again, this is a personal decision, but at Townley, we soak all year long. Our goal is to soak as many days as possible throughout the year. This way, we feel better every single day!
Let’s look at the seasons and break it down:
Spring Soaks
Everything just naturally leads us to look toward renewal during the spring. We’re shedding winter and reviving ourselves with the beautiful weather.
Hot tub soaks natural reinvigorate the mind and make our bodies feel so much better. That goes hand in hand with spring soaks.
Plus, as an added benefit, the trees and flowers are beginning to bloom, so nature provides much to look at while you relax in your hot tub!
Summer Soaks
You know that summer is hot in Arkansas, but that doesn’t mean we skip our therapeutic massage. Simply, lower the temperature of your hot tub if the water feels too hot. You can still enjoy your massaging soak by making your water cooler.
We also love summer soaking because summer is the time for backyard barbecues and time with family and friends.
Fall Soaks
Once the weather cools off and the leaves start to fall, there’s no better time to turn up the heat and enjoy your hot tub.
In the brisk, cool mornings and evenings, you’ll love your warm, massaging hot tub soak. You can hang some lights in your trees and on your deck and set your playlist to relax in style.
Winter Soaks
Some people think it’s too cold to soak in the winter, but we think it’s just right!
Just imagine the cool, crisp air and the steam coming off your hot tub water. You’re in the middle of snowy trees and twinkly stars at night.
Many of us ache more in the winter, so hot tub soaks are essential. We not only release stress but we loosen aching muscles and joints.
