Day two of cold plunge in the river….
4 degrees and 5 minutes.
Plan on doing 2-3 days a week with our group.
Last winter we used the above ground pool and chopped a hole in the ice until it hit -10 and then it just got too thick.
Plan on hitting the river all winter.
Who’s using cold plunger regularly and what’s your routine?
What kind of objective vs subjective benefits have you / are you seeing?
Our group of 4-8 guys meets 2-3 times per week in early morning or evening- depending on schedules.
We take a short walk from the parking place down to a beach, set the timer, and go up to our necks for 5 min.
After 2 min it feels like we could go a LOT longer, but for me 5 min still comes with a pretty long warm up time and I get a lot of benefits…..
Improvement in sleep
Improvement in mood
Increased stress capacity
Increase in immunity (potentially subjective)
Increased energy
Plus doing it with a bunch of bros is pretty good for the male bonding thing I guess LOL.
