Everybody has their own method for waking up; double shots of espresso, a quick workout, and so on. If you’re looking for a quick start to your morning or an afternoon pick me up, cold plunging might just be the answer. Many people turn to cold plunging when looking for a new way to boost their daily energy!
Cold plunge benefits extend beyond the mental and chemical aspects of your body too. Sports medicine has utilized cold water therapy for years, to help the active recovery of your muscles.
Being immersed in cold water stimulates leukocytes, the white blood cells that help fight off sicknesses. It also causes the lymphatic system to contract, forcing fluid through the lymph nodes. This process aids in detoxing the body and strengthening your immune system. A study has shown to substantially lower upper respiratory tract infections.
Cold plunging has shown the ability increase your baseline dopamine. Dopamine is the molecule in our brain and body that is linked to motivation. According to Dr. Andrew Huberman dopamine can enhance our depth of focus and lower our threshold for taking action towards our specific goals.
Researchers have known for a while that it connects to our daily energy. In particular, there is lots of evidence that hormone inbalance can contribute to depression, meaning that a cold plunge might help to reduce depression and improve overall mood! Don't take our word for it though, just ask anyone who has ever plunged!
The boost in norepiniphrine you'll get from consistent ice baths has been shown to be up to 5x. This neurotransmitter can dramatically reduce inflamation and help with chronic pain.
Cold water therapy has been shown to be an effective supplemental treatment for stress relief by decreasing the stress hormone cortisol. A study found that regular cold showers and ice baths helped reduce anxiety and improve the mood of participants.
When you dip into the Plunge, your body triggers the autonomic nervous system. This system is a network of vessels and nerves, split into two parts that control your response to stress. When you begin to control your response to stress, you’ll likely find that you begin to control your relaxation and sleep.

When I first got it I tried to be tough and put it down to 39° and couldn’t do it. It was terrible. I started 2 days ago at 56° and I went for 20 minutes and today I did 53° for 30 min. I can’t get over no matter how stressed and crazy I am it just completely zeroes me out. Gonna keep at it and get down to 39° hopefully. Great video thanks!

Nice. I've been getting in my mountain stream. Can't quite get to the point where I'm shivering yet, but it's about 40 degrees and a fast moving river. The force of the water and the cold completely knocks my breath out.

@@skatertrader I’ve done it 8 or 9 days in a row now and have jumped out of it and gone right into doing pushups which is a routine I want to be doing. It definitely wakes me up. I’d say I’m in a slightly better mood so maybe the dopamine thing is actually happening. But the tingling feeling all around after is cool. It moves blood around that’s for sure. I do like that it is a challenge and pretty much the most difficult thing I have to do each day and it turns into a big accomplishment in only 3 min

I’ve done them a couple times, but never as cold as today. Did one today at a spa that was 7°C (44.6 Fahrenheit). I kept feeling that I needed to jump out immediately, but by focusing on my breathing and mentally amping myself , I stuck it out a little over two minutes, three times (rotating between a sauna). I’m going to build up that number.

On my way back down in temperature her in Missouri now that spring has hit. I’m back down to 42 degrees for 10 minutes. Ended the year last year at 36 for 10 minutes 3 or 4 times a week. I used an old deep freeze to make my plunge so I only have still water.

@EnduranceHour

For me, I go right away to minimize the inflammation and soreness. That's me as an endurance athlete. It would be different if I was trying to gain muscle. But a good strategy: Reserve cold plunges for cardio or rest days-and if you want to plunge on the same day as a resistance training session, experts like Andrew Huberman, PhD, recommend doing it beforehand or waiting at least four hours post-exercise so you don't blunt your gains.
