A tip for people starting cold showers; First expose your legs and arms to the cold water, inhale than exhale and immediately step into the cold shower and control your breathing and you’re good to go!
Don't let this stop you I promise you if you keep your focus up you can control this it's more or so about pushing yourself hell even through life. I go everyday one time I was scared for my health it was snowing outside I watched some goggins and the shit he pushed through and it flicked a switch. I have now gone to the river for over a month and a half I'm more or so sad it's gonna get warmer and wish I started sooner because I wanna keep going. Think of the "what if" what if I push through this what if I can control my breathing and heart rate FOCUS meditate fix your mind and I promise life will get better.
@@Best_FighterI’ve been doing it for about 2 months and it’s still a shock, but the shock lasts about 2 seconds and it starts to go unnoticed, I recommend going to the coldest setting, but make sure you don’t have any heart issues, because if you do, no matter if you’re adapted or not it can kill you, but if your heart is healthy it’s safe to jump in on the coldest setting :))
@@Numantino312that is the joke. He doesn't specify he's talking about degrees in fahrenheit, not celsius like the rest of the planet uses as reference 😂
If you stay calm and have the right headspace I’m sure you can keep yourself from getting any heart complications , I have a micro valve prolapse on my heart and I’m a triathlete!
if anyone knows any reason/s why this is actually harmful or not helpful etc then please enlighten me - i’m not a scientist or anything close; but my process is in the morning i get into the shower on the coldest setting, control my breath with the wim hof method, stand under it for 30 seconds then turn the water onto warm, appreciate the warm water 1000x more, wash myself like normal with the warm water, then turn it back onto the coldest setting and the second time i don’t even feel it, and i can stay under it for as long as i want. end on cold and then get out. try it out it’s truly amazing. ❤️🙏
I took my first cold shower in years last night and was definitely experiencing some shock. My breathing became erratic and I could feel my heart wigging out. I powered through it and managed to go about ten more minutes in which I lowered the temp more and more every couple minutes. The first 30 seconds was longer than the last 8 minutes even though by the very end the water was so cold that the water at the beginning would have felt warm. Maybe I pushed it too hard too soon. I’ll consider myself lucky and ease into it next time
The best method for cold adaptation in my experience is to start with warm water for a bit then turn it in cold. After a while you will be able to resist the cold shock since your body adapts.
That’s a great way if you just want to try it but for people who want to actually improve their discipline then having it warm first is honestly pointless for them because that honestly defeats the purpose of your goal.
@@gmlogmdb how is it wrong 😂. You obviously want to train your discipline by doing these cold plunges, shower etc. but having warm first so you slowly ease in to it completely defeats the purpose because it shows that you’re not mentally strong enough to just jump into cold.
@@dylanjohns8409 Didn't you get the advice of the video that the method can give you a heart attack? So this is not about being the "Hero of Discipline" is about adapting your body to new stuffs in this case the cold shower.
@@juancechevarriacortes752 yeah, but the only reason you could give yourself a heart attack is if you just jump into freezing cold water that you’re not used too, which he said in that video. So you can still jump into cold water first but obviously at a temperature that you can handle. So what’s your point.
This just crossed my mind after decades. From the time I was born till I move to sunny Southern California early 60s. I was out in the cold in the winter walking to school, sledding, playing in the snow occasionally getting wet or snow inside my clothes and having to inside. This was the natural version of this cold shock treatment.
@@williamgrubbs9116 trust me that can be very true. I live in a country where we have had -44 degrees celsius (around 47.2F), which feels much colder than freezing water (0°C or 32F). I can't even imagine the people in Siberia lmao.
I stand in the warm water to wash my hair, once I'm done I immediately flip the switch to the coldest it can be and let every part of my body run under the water one by one for atleast a min
Iive in northern england northumberland and i take a outdoor cold shower most days 12 months a yr for the last 30 yrs and i am never ill and i am extremely happy 😂👍
For depression I fill my tub everyday with water as cold as the faucet will allow then add 20 pounds of ice from the store. 5-10 min a day of that really gets you going! All the Love all the Power
@@Futuresex100 I was severely depressed for 2+ years and the first Icebath I did I was smiling and giggling by the end. Been doing it for a long time now. It works so well and I never would have guessed. It takes you completely out of your head and into your body. Time seems to slow down. If you combine Wim Hof breathing with an Icebath daily and then do 30 min of exercise your depression will go down by I’d say 70%-100%. It releases all the chemicals you need naturally and it lasts all day.
Been doing this daily. Plus daily cold walks. I think I'm cold adapted now, coz I can walk 20 minutes in -35C and not shiver. My clothes aren't very thick.
Advise from nothing more than personal experience: I pin my arms up against the wall of the shower head and push my feet into the ground staggered, the bracing helps me with shivering and just focus on breathing. Deep nasal breathing into your stomach/diaphragm help, or the double inhale and 1 exhale. Helped me! Happy cold showering everyone!
Im on day 4 and have taken 5 cold showers. I plan on doing it morning and afternoon from here on. I started the first couple times with luke warm to comd for 1 minute then out. Today i did warm 3 mins then cold 1 min for three times total then out on cold. I put the shower head on my upper back only, not neck and head. I stay still and focus on breathing. Next ill work on being able to move the water around my body but i dread that thinking about it
Living in the north doing sauna and ice baths twice a week as normal people do so ... then there is no problem... Everybody is getting adapted. Do your Sauna with an ice bath and don't do an ego trip. That is the problem!
I like the Wim Hof method of doing. 3 rounds of 50 breaths beforehand. Causing my body to heat up and vibrate very intensely. Then I am able to stop shivering , after about 2 minutes of the cold water exposure , sometimes less . You have to expose head to toe to get used to the cold water. And doing the breathing exercises
agreed about head exposure: most people in the pictures have their heads out of the water with dry hair. while keeping cold water from shower out of my ears, still directing cold water to my head at least at the beginning. i do this for both health, and emergency prepping. in late winter/early spring (north dakota), roads are at their slickest, and roadside ditches fill with cold snowmelt several feet deep. so i do this to give self a chance if car ends up sliding off road.
Just make sure there is another responsible adult in case you pass out from this style of breathing. There are a few instances of inadvertent drowning in the cold plunge while doing the WH method.
Thankyou Andrew bro you saved me from a heart attack ❤ haha😂 just respect you bro for qllctje cobtent you put forbus helps us to understand concepta better and aids clarity in how to approach them in a better way
PPS. I only do this on non workout days and I do at least 2/3 minutes of a full cold water shower - gives me a great feeling and I am able to go out in the supposed cold with just a t-shirt on
Tip: Build your way up to the cold you don’t jump into the freezing ass water you make it cold and once you’re comfortable go colder and colder til you can’t bear it take them during the morning to wake up fully
Did a cold plunge yesterday they had two in the spa one at 12C the other 7C. Damn the 7C was so cold!! I have jumped in rivers in UK winter and this felt colder!
exactly, I'm from appalachian mountains of western north carolina. We'd take field trips to Pisgah national forest and that mountain river water was absolutely freezing. We'd leave almost entirely numb lol.
Yes the water moving over your body doesn’t allow a thermal layer to build up around you like in a bath. When I’m in a bath I hold an ice bladder against my chest and move around a bit to prevent thermal layer.
Reading this from a cold plunge rub set to 55F. Not that cold imo but just enough. I prefer 45F. I do stay for longer then most. Anywhere from 12 to 30 minutes.
Ok, so he is yalking about fat loss. I am doing 1min cold shower more to get mentaly healthy and getting out of comfort zone. I am not worried about burning fat, i have great diet and workout plan.

Sauna and then a full bucket of cold water after 10-15min inside.. Feels amazing when the bodyparts remember feeling cold, i wouldn't do it today, it has been too long since and my muscles has forgotten the experince.
I had the same problem and what i did is i bought a barrel which costs me 40 dollars and a few cheap plastic containers that I filled with tap water and then put it into the freezer for approx. 24 hours Thats it problem solved

@@TheIraqiforce I'm talking about sunnah of wudhu whether hot or cold. Of course if it's cold or winter one would use warm. But if using cold then doing wudhu helps.
@@ObaidahNaseer I don't understand your point, it's recommended according to hadith to do wudu with warm water, I don't understand where you and the speaforth guy came up with cold water being sunnah, where do you think they would get cold water from the desert mate
@@TheIraqiforce That my other account, I didn't realise. I'm only taking about the sunnah of doing wudhu before ghusl: Narrated `Aisha: "Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) took a bath after Janaba (major impurity) he started by washing his hands and then performed ablution like that for the prayer. After that he would put his fingers in water and move the roots of his hair with them, and then pour three handfuls of water over his head and then pour water all over his body." [Narrated by Sahih al-Bukhari 248.] In the desert, it can actually get cold such as at night or during cooler months. Because deserts rarely have clouds and are very dry, heat is not really retained.
I see and hear about this a lot. My brother swears by it. I'm not one to just jump in, though. So, I ask you this. Can you provide peer reviewed research that shows this is beneficial?
I absolutely enjoy colder showers. I would have to feel extremely cold in the winter for me to turn the shower on hot enough to where you see steam - this happens maybe twice a year. With that said I would never do what was explained here, lol. I would be too cold 😅
Once I learned that guided box breathing makes coke water easier, there was no turning back. And when it’s the time of year when the cold makes me want to get out, imagining the pain from the Feb cold water is actually heat, and Imaging myself in a hot place, it calms my mind down. Same thing with ice baths. It’s all about controlling your breath and that’s how I do it. Progressive box breathing. 5 min on 3 by 3, then 4 by 4 and then 5 by 5. There are many breathing techniques that can be ituilized and after : years of cikd water, box breathing has worked the best for me
I shower then go outside in winter wet at 10 degrees or whatever the temp is. Bit brisk but works an needed step up as im almost on a year of this now.
I believe everything is mental , so I got in from room temp water to the coldest option & it was super cold but handled it because my mentality is really strong thkgd ❤
Can someone explain then why everyone is plunging in a tub full of ice, that is ice cold as he says, and not talking about risk of having a heart attack, because they’re not slowly adjusting to it, they’re jumping straight into it
I have heart issues, severe mental issues, and breathing chest pains, I went in for the first time, started off warm and slowly slowly reached ice cold, mind you it’s winter and the water pipes are freezing. I truly felt like a Viking after I came out.
Can I take a cold shower before I work out and take a hot shower before I go to work? I know not to take a cold shower post work out. Need to be cleaned up for work.
I can do less then -4 Celsius I’ve been doing cold showers for over a year and haven’t took a hot shower over a year and I’m also doing cold plunges so yeah
I dont do temperatures like a bit of hot and cold water i turn the hot water off completely and have the cold water on im 15 but anyone can do it i take the shower head off and put parts of my body into the cold then eventually my back and stomach which is the hardest part and if u shiver take deep breaths but it feels amazing its euphoric
If you are less adaptable first step in the normal temperature and then slightly start to increase coldness every 20 seconds and keep breathing deep. It that way your body will adapt easier to cold water. For some people it can be dangerous to just jump in the ice cold water
For me grate start is to take a normal shover with water that is cold but not ice cold. Then when I am done with shampoo i start lovering the temperature until i get to the limit. So this metod is all about improving your starting temperature. My own experience shows that it is grate for beginners. It is probably got for people with hearth problems, but i am not the one with that kind of knowledge since i don't have that kind of problems and i ain't a doctor.
I am not cold adapted - I shower cold where I live but tbh it’s not really cold. I had my first proper cold plunge at a biohacking center today. 10 * C for 15 mins straight. My limbs blood flow shut down. Maybe it’s dangerous to do it for so long when non adapted?
Start with your right foot, go up to the knee with cold water. Then the same with the left leg. Then right leg again up to your hips. Same with left leg. Then do your right arm, left arm. Then the rest of your body. You start the furthest away from your heart to avoid heart attack. You might also look up Sebastian Kneipp.
Geeze the time i did it when it was freezing cold almost, i went hiking and decided to shower in the top of the mountain where the melted ice is coming down the river lol. It was a beautiful experience. But cold
what do you expect after putting ice cold water suddenly on your body? Its will suddenly contrict your blood vessels(vasocontriction) and all the blood will move to heart all of the sudden. I have seen a similar case but that ended with *a end of a young life*
When I stepped in, my breathing was heavy . How can i control that ? Any tips ? I just started 3 days ago. Im doing 2 minutes and increasing the minute per week
Since learning about the health benefits, I've started taking cold showers. It used to be difficult for me to breathe when I entered the water because of how chilly it was. I'm still curious as to why that was or is. When I take showers, the water isn't too cold (usually around 60-55°). I've gotten used to it to the point where I can almost comfortably take colder showers. i still won’t go ice cold because then i’ll most likely go back into that shock state where it’s hard to breathe.
Tbh just go in start in room temp water then get used to it then slowly turn off the hot water and just stand in the middle of the water stream it sucks at first but then you feel invincible
I've always had poor circulation, and because of that, any time I get cold i have severe pain and then my extremities quickly go numb. I've NEVER been able to tolerate the cold.
A tip for people starting cold showers;
First expose your legs and arms to the cold water, inhale than exhale and immediately step into the cold shower and control your breathing and you’re good to go!
Ngl i start taking cold showers and when u stay in the cold shower for a while it kinda feels warm idk how but it gets comfortable
@@stolkn it’s all your blood being circulated throughout your body, because of how cold showers help with blood circulation

In the desert, it can actually get cold such as at night or during cooler months. Because deserts rarely have clouds and are very dry, heat is not really retained.
Hmm. Doubling up sounds fun I'm doing that next time
I see and hear about this a lot. My brother swears by it. I'm not one to just jump in, though. So, I ask you this. Can you provide peer reviewed research that shows this is beneficial?
I absolutely enjoy colder showers. I would have to feel extremely cold in the winter for me to turn the shower on hot enough to where you see steam - this happens maybe twice a year.
With that said I would never do what was explained here, lol. I would be too cold 😅
What episode of Andrew Huberman’s podcast is this?
Once I learned that guided box breathing makes coke water easier, there was no turning back. And when it’s the time of year when the cold makes me want to get out, imagining the pain from the Feb cold water is actually heat, and Imaging myself in a hot place, it calms my mind down. Same thing with ice baths. It’s all about controlling your breath and that’s how I do it. Progressive box breathing. 5 min on 3 by 3, then 4 by 4 and then 5 by 5. There are many breathing techniques that can be ituilized and after : years of cikd water, box breathing has worked the best for me
What is box breathing?
So not icy cold, just cold enough to go brrr. I was doing it the shock way, like turning the heat down and jumping in 😅
Damn same I would do hot and cold at same time
@@zaheenman weak
@@hercules_E164KSo sigma bro💀
I do 30 seconds 15°C then 49°C 15X
Shout-out to Wim Hoff! He's been doing cold tolerance for decades.
After all that THEN get back into the cold? FOR HOW LONG?
i do cold baths and shower at 26f so -3c if hot then i like 74F 23c
I shower then go outside in winter wet at 10 degrees or whatever the temp is. Bit brisk but works an needed step up as im almost on a year of this now.
I believe everything is mental , so I got in from room temp water to the coldest option & it was super cold but handled it because my mentality is really strong thkgd ❤
Can someone explain then why everyone is plunging in a tub full of ice, that is ice cold as he says, and not talking about risk of having a heart attack, because they’re not slowly adjusting to it, they’re jumping straight into it
I turn it on max.
where i live its normal temperature is 10 degree Celsius or less so taking cold shower in that temp is enough for once and get dried
I like cold showers, are 5 minute sessions too long? I like being in 5-10 minutes and I want to start doing it every morning. Is that too much?
I have heart issues, severe mental issues, and breathing chest pains, I went in for the first time, started off warm and slowly slowly reached ice cold, mind you it’s winter and the water pipes are freezing. I truly felt like a Viking after I came out.
Haha Viking 😂 well said
Can I take a cold shower before I work out and take a hot shower before I go to work? I know not to take a cold shower post work out. Need to be cleaned up for work.
Which episode is this from ?
Is getting cold showers everyday good or bad? i need to know
I go back first then rotate slowly so i can get every part of my body
At about 47 degrees after 8 days for 3 minutes.
I can do less then -4 Celsius
I’ve been doing cold showers for over a year and haven’t took a hot shower over a year and I’m also doing cold plunges so yeah
if you have a heart attack while in front of a hospital you will likely survive.
I’ve been doing cold plunges for a while I use a freezer at the back of my house I set it to about -6c
I dont do temperatures like a bit of hot and cold water i turn the hot water off completely and have the cold water on im 15 but anyone can do it i take the shower head off and put parts of my body into the cold then eventually my back and stomach which is the hardest part and if u shiver take deep breaths but it feels amazing its euphoric
If you are less adaptable first step in the normal temperature and then slightly start to increase coldness every 20 seconds and keep breathing deep. It that way your body will adapt easier to cold water. For some people it can be dangerous to just jump in the ice cold water
For me grate start is to take a normal shover with water that is cold but not ice cold. Then when I am done with shampoo i start lovering the temperature until i get to the limit. So this metod is all about improving your starting temperature. My own experience shows that it is grate for beginners. It is probably got for people with hearth problems, but i am not the one with that kind of knowledge since i don't have that kind of problems and i ain't a doctor.
Do you speak Celsius?
He’s talking in Fahrenheit Lol 35 degrees Celsius is hotter than the equator
@@Genie6ixReally? It reaches 35 degrees Celsius in the part of Canada Im from a few times in a summer,
Thank you
I always start from cool water and then i change it to cold water and then to very cold water.Is it ok to do it this way?
Is it good building up for it from mearner water or that defeats the point?
I started with really cold water right away. Everyday by the way. I was experiencing shocks just the first 2-3 weeks.
If you are having an heatstroke and get in a cold shower is there a possibility of a heart attack?
I start warm then by the end it’s completely cold love it
Contrast showers are insane I love them
The best 🎉
Wait, why back into the cold? What is the specific benefit of this?
Imagine getting a heart attack from a cold shower😂 ahh America
I am not cold adapted - I shower cold where I live but tbh it’s not really cold. I had my first proper cold plunge at a biohacking center today. 10 * C for 15 mins straight. My limbs blood flow shut down. Maybe it’s dangerous to do it for so long when non adapted?
Don’t worry. I went straight into the ice the first time. Still alive. Start with Wim Hoff breathwork first a few weeks. It helps.
What is it about not drying off after the shower and waiting for a few minutes till getting into the cold again? Is this especially for fat los?
I don't believe it would ever hurt your heart unless you have a problem.
Do you advise me to start gradually?
Thats why you go SLOWLY into ice cold water. Than you don't get shocked
Warm showers are necessary for getting clean.
Start with your right foot, go up to the knee with cold water. Then the same with the left leg.
Then right leg again up to your hips. Same with left leg.
Then do your right arm, left arm. Then the rest of your body.
You start the furthest away from your heart to avoid heart attack.
You might also look up Sebastian Kneipp.
Why would anyone do such a thing just to stress their body?
As an English person, those temperatures sound like they would burn you rather than be considered cold (I know he is talking in Fahrenheit)
Geeze the time i did it when it was freezing cold almost, i went hiking and decided to shower in the top of the mountain where the melted ice is coming down the river lol. It was a beautiful experience. But cold
70°~72°
what do you expect after putting ice cold water suddenly on your body?
Its will suddenly contrict your blood vessels(vasocontriction) and all the blood will move to heart all of the sudden. I have seen a similar case but that ended with *a end of a young life*
There is such a thing as cold adaption?
When I stepped in, my breathing was heavy . How can i control that ? Any tips ? I just started 3 days ago. Im doing 2 minutes and increasing the minute per week
Spin around let it hit your top of neck
I’m from south Florida that temp for me is 80 that’s where I get cold. I’m not kidding. My pool is set to 95
Since learning about the health benefits, I've started taking cold showers. It used to be difficult for me to breathe when I entered the water because of how chilly it was. I'm still curious as to why that was or is. When I take showers, the water isn't too cold (usually around 60-55°). I've gotten used to it to the point where I can almost comfortably take colder showers. i still won’t go ice cold because then i’ll most likely go back into that shock state where it’s hard to breathe.
Why get out for 1-3 mins then Get back in?
Cause you’ll die
WHERE CAN I FIND THIS VID?
Is it okay if I do cold shower first for 3 mins and then do my normal warm shower for10 mins or does that defeat the purpose of cold shower?
Never knew this was a thing, i only take cold showers also on winter times people lookin at me like im goin to hell for it 😂
How long do you stay in the second time?
Tbh just go in start in room temp water then get used to it then slowly turn off the hot water and just stand in the middle of the water stream it sucks at first but then you feel invincible
GET IN WAAAAAA!!!!
I've always had poor circulation, and because of that, any time I get cold i have severe pain and then my extremities quickly go numb. I've NEVER been able to tolerate the cold.
