I have a simple question. Is it beneficial to sit in a steam room or hot tub after a workout?

I don't see any problem with it, but I don't know that actually improves your progress either. If it feels good, then do it. I have a sauna in my place and I have yet to use it! I think most of the benefits are probably psychological, but that counts for something.

It sounds strange, but I've had better luck sitting in ice baths - seems to limit soreness pretty well for me. Only takes about 5 minutes.
