Hey, what do you know? My old high school football coach was right. He would always tell the guys to take a very cold bath before your date night so you would be calm and rested for the game the next day.

Can't believe they don't even mention the dopamine benefits

I COLD PLUNGE EVERY DAY.
Today the water was 38°.
I sometimes just stand in the pool for a few minutes & sometimes I dive under and swim.
I'm very careful to avoid HYPOTHERMIA.
Depending on the length of stay I may recover in a HOT TUB of water!
Sometimes that HOT WATER is NECESSARY to avoid HYPOTHERMIA.
I started at 70 years old.
It definitely helped my physical strength.
I also use a swim technique that's a combination of a double arm crawl & dolphin kick.
#1 exercise, ever!
75 & kicking!

My sons, my wife, and I all got into an ice bath tonight. A lot of yelling and bickering but it's 💯 percent worth it!

[billthestinker]

The sudden cold caused my bladder to release and the water became very warm and cloudy

I really love how cold water therapy has taken off in the West. In Asia it's the norm, glad to see the Europeans gradually catch up.

That water couldn’t have been that cold for 6 minutes. I did 4 minutes at 40 degrees🥶🥶🥶🥶
