Cold Water
The idea of a cold shower might seem daunting at first, but you can ease into it. If you need to start small, try starting with a regular shower first, and then turning the water to cold near the end. You can always start with 30 seconds and gradually increase the time as you become more comfortable. It's all about finding the balance that works for you.
“If we always choose comfort, we never learn the deepest capabilities of our mind or body.”

Reduced Muscle Soreness and Inflammation
Cold water constricts blood vessels, which can slow blood flow and reduce swelling and soreness after exercise.
Enhanced Recovery
Cold plunges can speed up recovery after physical activity, allowing athletes to return to training sooner.
Improved Sleep Quality
Lowering core body temperature through cold plunging can mimic the natural temperature drop before sleep, potentially improving sleep.
Improved Circulation
Cold exposure can cause blood vessels to constrict and then dilate, promoting better circulation overall.
Boosted Immune Function
Regular cold exposure may stimulate the immune system.
