My 8 Tips For the Perfect Ice Bath

Can I convince you to take the plunge?

Ice baths are used by some of the greatest minds and athletes out there, and for good reason.

They have a resounding positive impact on
🧊 cardiovascular health
🧊 immunity
🧊 stress resilience
and so much more.

Set the scene:

  • 1. Think about your motivation. Ice baths are great for immunity, increase stress resilience and boost mood and performance.
  • 2. Get the ice ready.
  • 3. Set a timer and some music if you like.

Take the plunge:

  • 4. Get in! [this is the hardest part!]
  • 5. Breathe slowly and relax – this inoculates you against stress by decoupling the stressor from the automatic stress response.

Reap the rewards:

  • 6. Get out.
  • 7. Enjoy the enhanced dopamine and noradrenaline levels boosting your mood.
  • 8. Let your body warm up by itself.
