If you're interested in learning more about cold-plunging, here's a quick starter-guide to begin safely and effectively:
1. Start Slow
Begin with cool showers or a 60–65°F plunge for 30–60 seconds. Lower the temperature gradually as you adapt.
2. Aim for the Basics
Beginners typically target: 45–55°F
2–3 minutes
Stay in the range of controlled discomfort, not pain.
3. Control Your Breath
Use slow, steady breathing (inhale 4, exhale 6) to calm your nervous system and reduce shock.
4. Stay Safe
Avoid plunging if ill or dizzy. Step out if you feel disoriented, and get medical clearance if pregnant or managing heart conditions.
5. Warm Up Mindfully
Reheat naturally afterward — move around, layer up, or sip warm tea.
Happy Cold Plunging! ❄️💧
