Cold showers?

When I started taking cold shower last year I made it step by step: On the first time I took lukewarm temperature (not warm but a bit more cold), then I increase the cold temperature a bit from week to week. Since then I didn't get a chill/cold during the winter.
But it is also good to switch between hot and cold during showering. You start with cold for 1 minute, then switch to warm/hot for 1 minute etc. You do this 5 times and end with cold. That is very good for your circulation!

 

LMFAO

 

In summer I usually turn the shower on and start with my right arm and shoulder as I go fully. For some reason my right arm seems to make it less uncomfortable at first lol.
In colder weather I start with a semi-warm shower and gradually decrease the temperature until it's cold.
Stay in there for a minute or so everyday.
After you're done, get out. Don't go back to warm water.

 

Very cold water and shock can cause a heart attack if you have a problem with a heart. Start slowly and then gradually do it faster. I used to do 5 minutes under a freezing cold shower by the end. I still do cold showers but the water here is not so freezing cold, only cold. Cold showers at first will give you a similar effect to your brain as some drug Try to count into 20 under a very cold shower, you will see that at the beginning it is not possible

 

Nice, i want to pick up the cold shower habit again also. I responded to an earlier cold shower topic, but havent been consistant at all.
I do this rule: at least 30 seconds cold (just directly, not gradually, i can time with stopwatch on mobile). After 30 seconds, then taking a hot shower as a reward .
Now its sleepy time here (morning after a night shift), but when i wake up in the afternoon i'll be going for the cold shower again, and wanna make it a habit .
