Work out then hot tub

Just so long as your body doesn't get overheated from working out plus heat from the water. I guess you could pass out if this happens too badly. I'd say just wipe yourself down with a cold wet towel to cool yourself down a bit before jumping in and you should be fine.
 
Make sure you are drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated. Just like when doing any extracurricular activities in a hot tub :D , need to have that water nearby.
 
hot water baths can be really good after a workout so as to improve recovery
of muscles

just take some time to cool off as mentioned by Jonny100

what i do is alternate between cold and hot water for 1 min each
It stimulates blood supply and improves recovery especially good to cure soreness
 
yeh man i have a hot tub too....i work out...take a little break and relax..then go into the hot tub...it feels good...lol
 
It's fine to do that. Just try and make sure, like others said, not to over heat. If you were about to, you would know, just get out if you feel any dizzyness. You wouldn't want to pass out in the hot tub.:p

Anyways, it wouldn't hurt to turn the heat down just a few degrees, it would probably be better on your body.
