You think? I really hate being cold

start at normal temperature and then progressively make it colder. doesn't need to be ice plunge cold!

Thank goodness because that just sounds uncomfortable

Exactly thats why you do it, it activates your survival instincts and wakes you up. Go warm -> lukewarm -> cold and hold for 10 seconds, focus on controlling your breathing, try to control it and slow it down.

But please don't collapse

Damn. This is actually wicked helpful. This happens to me often and I hate it 🫂

Omg I’m so nervous, but ughhh ok. Am I supposed to finish on cold or can I warm up after?

Finish on cold, rawdog it

Aghhh ok

You can ease your way into it. Blasting with cold is a thing people do but I just crank the handle until I feel good about the cold. Takes like 30 seconds for me to transition temps.

Idk if this follows the "shock factor" thing but I love to do it because it closes your pores

Yeah, I do feel like my skin looked way better after. It like totally depuffed me

an interesting anecdote, In Sauna cultures like Finland they say not to end on cold.

I agree that cold showers are revitalising.

I’m gonna test it, but I’m scared

Don't be scared. Don't think about it.

Turn it off. As you slowly turn to cold and focus only on your breathing

That shit was gnarly

Theres always a first time, and yes it was make you say funny noises, but the feeling afterwards is soo good.

That’s what happened. Felt like shit during, feel pretty damn good now

my dude 🤝🏻🫂

Finishing cold is like rinsing your pasta when it's done, but the pasta is you. Worth it on occasion.

I’ve never rinsed the pasta 😂🤷‍♀️

Don't rinse pasta but do cold rinse human

Where are you tek?

Memorial day weekend near a lake. Working a pizza joint. You could say I'm getting rekt.

But I'm also making bank. Be home in 20

Proud of you for working so hard 🫂

my exact thought 🤣 that's the only thing to wipe off the long ass day nap haze

Damnit. Is this like a life hack nobody ever told me, but everyone knows?

News to me too

Same!

I don't remember if I heard it from somewhere specific but I definitely feels like it helps refresh and knock off the cobwebs.

I’m gonna do some science right now and let yall know
