Yes, that's right - a hot bath can be just as effective as a walk.
Researchers found that by increase core body temperature by one degree, participants burned the same amount of calories as someone who walked for 30 minutes.
Researchers also found that hot baths can boost your immune system, and can help your overall cardio-metablolic health.
