yep

Yeah because when you think about it. the water is warm/cold to the touch because its colder/warmer then your normal body temp. So when you get out your body is going back to its original temp.So youll start to feel warmer after a cold shower and Colder after a hot shower

True!

really? wow

The cold is your warm friend. *Wim Hof*

Lmao

That's actually the reason that I just searched "how to take a cold shower" a little while ago and found out about the people who it for health benefits and fun. I'm actually excited now, but the water will also be immediately ice-cold :x

yeah but have started your own business yet?

Haha

they are awesome. incredible . exiting.

Indeed, I'm starting to catch myself doing it twice a day now. It feels amazing!

Duke Kenner it’s actually very easy to explain. Cold shower boosts your dopamine by 250-300%, so that’s why is recommended to people experiencing depression as a great mood regulator besides all other benefits. Started over 5 months ago and never looked back :)

they can be. It is strange .

Thomas Kenner I just started yesterday, we shall see 👀🥶

It's the feeling you get after your done. It's like all your senses are completely awake and alive.

I agree with you, comfort is a "Breath Increasing Factor" not a "Breath Reducing Factor"

That's a wise insight. Thanks for sharing this.

Living Thedream very wise

Living Thedream I like your very last statement! Never thought about that way but I think I agree with you! The ship was not built for the harbor, it was built for the open waters of the rough sea!

Living Thedream l was also born in Africa. We have options. Cold, warm or hot shower. What makes us take cold shower unconsciously is the pH level in our bodies plus the very hot sunshine. Full Nature is in us.

True. Speaking from personal experience (in the shower, not with crack). The pain is worst at the very first and then decreases dramatically for the first 30 seconds, at which point it's maybe 65% gone, then the remainder goes away until at 2 minutes the pain is gone, and the endorphins and dopamine start to noticeably ramp up. At 5 minutes, it just feels cold, not bad. Jumping out and toweling off feels INCREDIBLE. All day you will feel the echo of fantasticness.

FightClub MeetsHere Yeeep. The body's ability to adapt is crazy. Took about a week's worth of cold showers before my body completely stopped involuntarily shivering. Water's still cold as Hell is hot, but my body warms up much more calmly now.... and that ability to calmy adapt to uncomfortable situations definitely starts to manifest in other situations you'll deal with in every day life

***** LOL let us hope I get to the point that I genuinely enjoy taking a cold shower sooner rather than later

***** After two years, has it changed your life? Is your life fulfilled, successful, and happy now?

***** Go to the next level. Ice baths!

Thanks for this!!!!!

Thank you. I will try.

Thanks

Can you show me one randomized controlled trial that demonstrates this?

@@Getitstraightyo Test subject 1 here. Two days in. Started doing these to learn making suffering a deed, to harden my will. Didn't do research about showers before this but thought it would be unpleasant. It sure is but very powerful.

@@alexisstoned7796 I did it for a few months. Ultimately I got no benefit other than being uncomfortably a hot an hour or so after showering.

@@Getitstraightyo Did you gather any data? I have this sports watch that measures different things including something it calls stress. I've had this a year now. Just after 3 days I scored a new low in stress by half. Also heart rate is down by ~10. Weird. And dandruff was gone today wtf.

You’re suffering with no end goal. It’s like walking through fire to say you suffered

How to become an adrenaline junkie

It is actually, it's very addictive. I haven't had a hot shower in 30 days. I'm almost through my first 30 days of the Wim Hof breathing method every morning first thing before my feet even hit the floor and a cold shower every other morning, (when i hit 30 days ill do a video) it is very addictive and I feel so good. it's something I definitely recommend

@Soroush Kasra if diving in fully submerged into an ice bath is not something you're accustomed to and your body is not acclimated to it overtime with gradually doing hot showers to warm showers or cold showers, then I would recommend starting at Ground Zero. Cold showers and Ice baths are beneficial to your circulatory system and helpful for the healing of the body not just physically but energetically also, in all your 7 chakras. It's always good to start first with turning a hot shower into warm and then cold as you become comfortable with it, and the longer you can stay in a cold shower the more you're going to be acclimated to an ice bath. It's always recommended to start with no more than 5 minutes if you're a beginner. Cuz overtime you'll slowly build up your tolerance from 1 minute, to 2 minutes, to 3 minutes and all the way up to 5 minutes, as far as your physical tolerance and how comfortable cold becomes to you. Once you become comfortable with standing under a cold shower faucet for 5 minutes then move on to the ice bath where you can fully submerge, but again when you start with the ice baths you start again the same way you did with cold showers. Submerged slowly at your own pace, listen to your body, continue to do the breathing and slowly let your body acclimate to the submersion. starting with 1 minute, then 2 minutes, and going up to 5 minutes. As far as I know, only people who have been doing this for a couple of months consecutively if not an entire year consecutively doing this on a regular basis every single day or every other day or every 3 days, they are more able to jump straight into freezing cold ice bath being able to be completely submerged in an instant without stressing the body so much because the body is acclimated to that kind of stress. It's like going to a gym and expecting to be able to do a 300 lb deadlift if you've never lifted before at all. You have to be able to build up the tolerance & the muscle strength before you dive too deep. So yes, it can be hazardous to someone's Health if they are pushing too far too fast. It doesn't matter if you're doing a 300lb deadlift at the gym or if you're jumping into 32 Degree freezing ice bath to do the Wim Hof method. Build up your tolerance. build up your strength, go at your own pace and listen to your body. You'll do just fine, 👍👍🤙🤙💖

That is a perfect explanation to the cold shower! Been doing for like 2 weeks now and it’s life changing, at 43 I’ve never felt so good! Crazy

Cold water doesn't emulsify oil and theirfore all the dirt that's stuck to the oil.

Awesome well done 👍🏻

Same here! 😊

You go girl!

Do you start cold right away or turn it to cold

@@beejel9628 depends at first it’s hard to just start cold. Maybe start alternating cold and hot until you can get to hot then cold or fully cold. But either way as long as you’re under cold for long enough it will have the same amazing benefits. And add in deep breathing

😂😂😂😂😂

Lolololol

Omg.... 😂😂😂

lollllll

Love those cold showers..... blood circulation is great.

+aedryk If you look at my channel this same experience happened to me...but I was in an ice river with outside temperatures at 7 degrees F

Adrenaline rush + hysteria. That kind of shit can't be good for you if you do it every day...

aedryk LMAAOO SAMEE I WAS SINGING AND EVERYTHANG HAHA

Same bro I thought I was going insane when I start laughing

When i first stand under the blasting cold water I tense my arms in front of me and yell "cmon boys lets do this!"

Maybe you’re a robot?

@@harv94bird shoot never thought of that one..

I actually thought that the shower had started to warm up despite me setting it on the coldest setting! Then I realised that I was simply used to it and it just felt 'normal'. So, no, it's not just you. 😁

Yes! I have to keep on checking that the cold is fully on!

Yes bro

AMAnything the ones you came from

chris white lmao

chris white Hibernation set in!!

I know right!

😂😂

How's life been since the 30 day shower challenge?

what else has changed internally ? thats what i feel is missing in your explanation

This is for city boy office geeks. "The cold shower made me tough". Ok.....

it is more challenging 🙂

I started cause they said they'd raise my test bruh .

And recover from excersise better.

Bro 5 days isn't enough to change your life. How has 8 years been?

​@@MrLethalShots I took a cold shower two days ago and yesterday! I don't smoke anymore, I don't drink anymore, I get up at 6AM and lift weights for an hour 5 days a week and run 2.5 miles 3 times a week. I'm a staff engineer w/ 3 direct reports for a SF tech company that successfully sold last year after being with the company for a couple of years. A+ would cold shower again.

Did you feel these 8 years

Brandon Blaze I have discoloration on my face. Do you think cold showers will get rid of it?

I'm not sure 🤔 but my skin use to be yellowish at times, since I started showering with cool/cold water it went away, give it a try and post back if it worked or not

Brandon Blaze ok

I'm going to start taking cold showers tomorrow, I'm 24 next week and been suffering from acne for about 8 years, hopefully I get the same results as you. Do you use any products on your face to help? 🙂

first off i wanna wish you happy upcoming birthday and yea i use X out Spot Corrector for the scar marks pimples left behind, sadly i started late doing cold showers i think last September, ever since i havent gotten any major break outs only a few small pimples like 1 or 2; best of luck to you and post back if it worked.

Ew wtf

😧😧😧😧😧😬😬😬😬😬

Lmao hope youre still showering bud

Clean that cheese bro!

Lmao

I thought i was the only one lolol

nice I will try it !

Hahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhaahhahahahaahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahaha. . I swear Im gonna try this cause all ive been doing is to scream like a little girl

Glad it helps!

How have you been? Still taking cold showers?

Yes I want to know too

He was right it does brighten my day and I feel amazing only two weeks in.

😂😂 good one

how was it?

Yesterday you said tomorrow, JUST DO IT!

ive taken cold showers for the past week minus 1 or two days and trust me it helps with your mental fortitude and ability to withstand uncomfortable situations. Plus the entire shower isn't shitty, just the first 20 seconds or so. After your body adjusts to the cold shower...like jumping into a cold pool or lake, it's not as bad as you might think. And afterwards you feel great. They truly do help.

my daily mantra

The lecture actually wasn't about cold showers. It was about getting out of the comfort zone. Cold showers is the main metaphor that is used in the lecture. At least that's what I think.

VeyGud Tek

no I think he literally meant cold shower

Lots of benefits! 👍🏼

People should do things for a reason. Here, he initially did it to follow the advice of someone he respected. Initially, he didn't see why he should do it. People should be careful to follow someone's advice without understanding why. Some people like to make fools of the gullible. Cold showers in the winter, when outside temperatures are below freezing, are harder to endure than those during the summer. Here, it taught him not to obsess and fear uncomfortable situations. In fact there are many things which are difficult to do but also beneficial to do, such as learning a new skill, an instrument to play, or language, but it could also be an exercise program or eating healthier before you are told to by your doctor. Cold showers can be beneficial medically, but then again so can hot showers. It takes wisdom to know when to take which.

JediConscious yup

I've been doing it for the last 30 days and I'm about to do a 30-day video on it. it is actually really awesome. I feel so good. I've almost completed 30 days of cold showers every other day with the Wim Hof breathing first thing in the morning before my feet even hit the floor and it is absolutely amazing.

@@FinesseMuse I am only a week into cold showering, but it is so addictive, and beneficial in so many ways. Wim Hof is the man.

I just let my mind think about something else like I just dose off in to space

wild

Combined with exercise?

Jabria Rogers How? I would imagine exercising in the shower would be a pretty difficult task to carry out given the lack of space and slippery shower floor.

I do Iceman too. When people see me in boxers only running the streets some of them honk and greet, some pedestrians encourage me and some of them think I am crazy. I always smile back and wish them luck 🙏💜

I’ve kind of learnt to enjoy it because it is liberating to be independent of the signals your body is sending you.

How’s the cold showers

Your post deserves WAY more love and attention. Well said, man.

The most people don't do it because think that they are going to get sick. But.. they are losing very healthy benefits.

there any mental benefits?

Depends on the person, some people just want to get it done like working out.. the earlier the better.

That's what I do. I do it for reducing inflammation in my back. The Navy Seals talk about getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. That's the premise of their training.

That’s what I do. Clean up with the hot and then shower with the cold for 6 to 10 minutes. I’m shooting for longer times. I’ve noticed the cold doesn’t bother me as much since I’ve started.

After a workout it is logical you want to take a cold shower. Cold water will remove the lactose from your muscles, letting new blood able to flow in and reduce musle ache by 30%. The moment my trainer told this there wasn't any hard scientific evidence for it, but it did sure work for me (and for some national athletes)

David Kellerman Same. I remember my self back in the days. If you told me to take a cold shower every single day i would call it nearly impossible. But now? I simply can't imagine my self taking a warm shower anymore. Even thinking about it after a work out gives me this asphyxiation feeling for some reason.

David Kellerman lactic acid, not lactose, lol. Lactose is a sugar found in milk

Haha, thanks mate. I'm not a native speaker :)

It's actually lactate technically speaking, mega pedantic I know ;p

As if taking a cold shower has anything to do with morality or value... It's not going to make you a better person. Only changing yourself mentally will.

@@greg77389 You assume they mean "better" as in morally better Maybe they simply meant stronger. Wiser. Gain more control over the mind.

Btw, this is changing yourself mentally. Just nothing to do with morality.

Peter Hansen Great to hear man! Keep it going!!

@Tommy Harris because cold showers make you feel good mentally and physically . so It can help with depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses

Did u take directly cold shower without doing breathing exercises?? I have been suffering frm anxiety & panic attack since 6 years & still under psychiatric meds😪

@@nusans Hi! Have you heard of dr Claire Weekes? I developed panic and anxiety last winter and have been to several therapies but the books and recordings of Claire Weekes helped me the most. You can find some of it here on youtube, she teaches how to heal yourself. She also suffered panic so she knew what she talked about ⚘

@@nusans I suffer from anxiety, panic attacks and depression as well. I am taking cold showers since a week. I feel this helps me feeling uncomfortable and i just breath through it. In my nose out my mouth and relax... I think taking cold showers help you with breathing though attacks as well, because it is uncomfortable.. You fight off attacks the best with breathing.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." Martin Luther King, Jr.

I do it in the dead of winter. You can too!

tried it after 4 days had cold and sore throat ,but continued it after noon ,within two days feel good so had that 0600 hrs morning shower again , no cold no sore throat felt great ever since then ...

It’s great in the winter. Good for your skin. My skin gets dry af in the winter. Not when I take cold showers!!

As you probably noticed, you grow into it

an essential part of a talk and life in general is not just having a point but also being able to relay it to someone else using anecdotal evidence, personal experience (reasons someone should listen to what you have to say)

Same. I took my next shower in completely cold after watching this!

How is the birdy did it shrank ??

That was intense but amazing.

shut yo reviewin parkour wit ur no heat ass up nigag dayum talk too much

+Jessica Deed wat

Jessica Deed Hahaha troll

lol. Unlikely. He tells the dude he needs to go back to school. Then Bombs a word like midget with Migget. I dont think so.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm has it changed your life?

Same with me

Sometimes it's good for the soul to take a cold shower every once in a while. I actually haven't had a hot shower and almost 30 days now. the Wim Hof method of cold showers every other day and the Wim Hof breathing every morning before my feet even hit the floor is very very addictive. I'm super stoked to do a video on that here in the coming days and I definitely recommend the cold showers even if it's involuntary in your situation😅😅

ФXplоreUnleashedФ what type of changes?

Ya how did it change?

You mean it changed for the worse? For goodness sake, tell us how it changed.

mkaberli bro i think we need to find out ourselves so lets do it for the rest of our life bruh bruh

10 minutes wow I do between 30 seconds to 2 minutes

Very well said.

Time to do ice baths For me a cold shower is a like warm up Need to make it harder on yourself now

Jabria Rogers I do the same. You feel really fresh and awake after an icy shower !

Jabria Rogers This is even better, since the intenser changes in temperature cause a better blood circulation!

Jabria Rogers It's good to do hot/cold to get the benefits of both but preheating the body this way makes it easier to endure and won't make you feel quite as good/ high after as a straight cold shower.

Jabria Rogers It's very good for healing the body hot to cold 30second cold three minute hot steam room to cold shower. look up Barbra O'Neill on this she very good

Sauna and then cold shower is best

It's crazy because warm showers just don't feel right anymore.

There's something about the number 3. It's a magic number for a lot of things.

@@blakefashy9937 agree 🙂

Matthew Hawkins How'd it go?

that was the chlorine !

You are watching for a long time!

iv just done 7days , i must say its quite addictive . welldone !
