Love my cold plunges. I started with cold showers, then tried a 30 day cold plunge challenge. The challenge ended months ago and I’m still doing it every day. 💪

[ianthornhill]

Cold plunges has almost eliminated my chronic pain. Love it!

I've been cold-plunging for about 18 months now. I've found it beneficial to keep my lower leg swelling at bay. I started with cold showers, purchased a stock tank, and used frozen water bottles to chill the water. I found it not quite cold enough, so I started making 50 to 60 lbs. of ice daily, which became very tedious (store bought ice is expensive!). I purchased a water chiller, which keeps my tub at a low temp 24/7. I plunge daily, rarely missing a day, which is probably excessive. After seeing my summer power bill, I've gone from plunging for 10 minutes at 3C to 6 minutes at 5C! 68 years old, and in very good health!

I am a HUGE Wim Hof fan. I have been doing cool plunges on my front porch year round for a couple of years now. I even just bought a chiller so I can plunge is the summertime. And I do the polar plunge for the Special Olympics. Andrew Huberman says it can cause a 2 1/2 times increase in dopamine, and I believe it, because I experience it everyday! I started with cold showers when I was going through a very difficult time in my life, and then I got into cold plunging. Wim says because we live such "comfortable" lives we don't exercise the very small muscles that contract and expand our blood vessels. So, for the first few weeks or months it kind of hurts. But after we exercise those tiny muscles, it doesn't hurt any more. It has been said it could even help fight atherosclerosis. I even break the ice in the dead of winter to plunge, and not only does it not hurt, but I don't even shiver now when I get out. I love it so much I intend to do it forthe rest of my life. Two (2) minutes of being uncomfortable and I enjoy the benefits for hours afterwards. For what its worth, I highly recommend it.

I’m 78 and have been cold plunging for the last three years. My friend and I go into Puget Sound where the winter temps are close to 40-45° F. We walk in and stay for about 5 minutes. Sometimes it takes me a couple hours to warm up. It does make my wonky knee feel better and I’ve noticed that I get too warm easily and crave cold sheets in my bed…something I used to hate. Another side effect is that it’s a great conversation starter…always fun to amaze people👍🤗

Cold plunges have been a total game-changer for my recovery and mental clarity. I started incorporating them alongside my steak and eggs diet, and the boost in energy and focus has been incredible. I also added a few key supplements from Secret Supplements that turn you into a Superhuman, like magnesium, to help with muscle relaxation after cold exposure—it’s the perfect combo.

I am. a medical practitioner and I have been taking cold showers every day for years now plus weekly ice baths - I have no doubt it has had a significant benefit to my health - in particular my immunity, but also recovery from any injuries when I exercise - highly recommend it!

[tonybutterworth]

I personally find the cold shower much harder than the ice bath. Mainly it’s the challenge of getting under the water rather than dropping in combined with the fact that the shower just pings freezing water at you whereas the ice bath allows me to zone in and get into a more meditative state. Both amazing though. Great video 👍

[mikeyscarandbikeadventures]

Cold plunges have been A game changer for me. Been going for a year now. Start your day with forcing yourself into freezing water will be the hardest part of the day!! Rest of the day stresses come way easier. It’s a life hack just wish I would’ve discovered it earlier

[anthonykelly]

Hey, everyone from North Vancouver, BC, Canada 🇨🇦, I've been suffering from a Hital Hernia at the top of my stomach. However I've been doing cold showers for 9 months straight and started morning baths in the local Lynn Creek waters on weekend mornings and my body is healing and recovering, all my symptoms are going away from me, I am making it into work everyday again, I am taking my power back in life again.

[jimmalley]

I slowly increase the cold water at the end of my shower..and definitely feel much better physically and mentally!

[jo-annmitchell]

So wonderful to hear your perspective on this. Dr Ginty replaced both my knees. After second knee I moved to port elgin on Lake Huron and took up cold plunging, in the lake. I’m addicted to the benefits and my physiotherapist notices when I haven’t been in the cold water, by the reduction in inflammation and increased mobility. I now have a group of about 15 people who swim with me in the lake, when it’s not frozen over. We’ve been very lucky the last 2 years.
I retired from Halton Healthcare and worked with it fine gentlemen at registration at the fracture clinic.
Thank you so much for sharing the word.

[dorag]

Thank you ! A group of 🇨🇦friends have been doing it for a while and it is invigorating!

[MisterSmoke-sg]

I've had a lot of experience with getting the cold shoulder. It has greatly increased my resilience!

[Regentotalwellness]

Love this video!!! Great work helping spread the word of cold plunging!

[TheKyPerson]

My son in law started running in earnest and has done several marathons. He is a firm believer in cold plunges.

[RhondaMcIntosh-ppoj]

I had a Swedish spa experience in Nova Scotia this summer. Since then I go to my local pool and alternate sauna, steam and hot tub with the cold shower provided. It's awesome.

[chrismolloy]

I have been doing cold showers for two years. Every second day, I have a hot shower to wash, turning it up as hot as I can handle at the end, then switch to very cold well water around 54F for about 3 minutes. That gives me close to the 11 min per week. I find I get increased “get up and go” for about 6 hours, with a significant improvement in mood for the rest of the day. I try to do it before dinner time, as I feel too cold if I do it close to bed time.
I love the feeling of the warm air on my skin after the shower instead of being clammy, steamy hot!

[danielparsons]

I started ice baths (cold plunges) after taking cold showers for 3 minutes a day for about 6 months. I've been doing them now for nearly a year and believe there are benefits but it is no miracle thing. I take them now as I'm 55 and looking for ways to keep challenging myself. It isn't for everyone. I plunge 3 minutes and 30 seconds three times a week in a bath that is below 10 degrees and as cold as 6 degrees. It's always difficult but once I'm in and over the initial shock I love it. Invigorating and healing I believe.

[magpiewaters]

I cold shower daily for a minimum of 2 minutes usually 4 minutes. When the water gets cold outside I plunge in a pond. When that freezes over I go in a river for 2 to 4 minutes usually. I have a broken arthritic back with bone spurs. Been doing it for a year and a half. The pain relief is amazing and the energy I get before lifting has been a game changer. I am 58 and it helps with all of my age related aches and pains. The heating up after has been my biggest challenge. But the more cardio I do right after getting out of river helps out a ton. Love it.
