Making 45 seconds easier

Posted on January 14, 2022January 16, 2022 by John

Starting 45 seconds of cold shower ala Wim Hof method was off to a rough start but then I recall an interview where someone who was getting into the method note that he preferred the ice baths over the showers since with the shower you are in a constant state of getting shocked as you turn since the parts not in water are not adjusted to the cold.

When I did it I would keep spinning slowly to allow all of me to get wet.  Instead what I did was linger.  I let my front acclimate and then I would turn around and do the same, then repeat.  Basically still turning but with longer pauses. So, so much better, especially when I catch my beathing.  I can see myself getting through the 1 minute mark with this technique.
