🥶 Dare to Take the Plunge? The Shockingly Good Benefits of Cold Showers (& How to Not Hate It!) 

Thinking about intentionally turning that shower knob to COLD probably sends shivers down your spine, right? 🥶 It sounds like pure torture to many. But what if that brief blast of icy water holds surprising keys to feeling more alive, focused, and resilient?

There's a growing buzz around cold exposure, and cold showers are the most accessible way to dip your toes in (literally!). It's not just about "toughing it out" – there's actual science behind the benefits:

Why Your Body Might Secretly Love the Cold Shock:

Instant Energy & Alertness Surge ⚡: Forget that third cup of coffee! The cold shock triggers a rush of norepinephrine, making you feel instantly awake, alert, and focused. It's a natural jolt to your system.

Mood Boost Potential 😊: That norepinephrine surge? It's also linked to improved mood. Plus, the act of overcoming the discomfort can build mental resilience and a sense of accomplishment, combating feelings of lethargy or mild depression for some.

Enhanced Circulation: The cold causes blood vessels near the surface to constrict, redirecting blood flow to your core organs. When you warm up, blood rushes back. This process can potentially improve overall circulation over time.

Reduced Muscle Soreness & Inflammation 💪: Athletes have used ice baths for ages! Cold exposure can help reduce inflammation and soothe sore muscles after intense activity.

Potential Immune System Support: Some studies suggest regular cold exposure might stimulate the production of white blood cells, potentially strengthening your immune response over time. (More research needed, but intriguing!)

Builds Mental Fortitude & Discipline 🧠: Let's be real: stepping into cold water takes willpower. Regularly facing that discomfort, even for a short time, trains your brain to handle stress and builds mental toughness.

Glowing Skin & Hair? ✨: Cold water helps close pores and hair cuticles, potentially leading to less oily skin and shinier, stronger hair compared to consistently hot showers which can strip natural oils.

Okay, But How Do I Actually Do It Without Screaming?

The key is GRADUAL ACCLIMATION:

Start Warm, End Cold: Finish your regular warm shower with just 15-30 seconds of cold water. Focus on your breathing – deep, steady breaths help manage the shock.

Increase Duration Slowly: Once 15-30 seconds feels manageable, try increasing it to 45 seconds, then a minute, and so on. Aim for 1-3 minutes eventually.

Contrast Showers: Alternate between hot (1-2 mins) and cold (30-60 secs) for a few rounds. This is less intense than a fully cold shower.

Focus on the Back First: Letting the cold hit your back might feel slightly less intense than hitting your chest directly at first.

Consistency > Intensity: A short, regular cold blast is often more beneficial than sporadic, long, miserable sessions.

Listen to Your Body! If you have certain health conditions (especially heart issues), talk to your doctor before trying cold exposure. This isn't for everyone, and safety comes first.

Cold showers aren't a magic bullet, but they are a powerful, free tool to wake up your body and mind. It's about embracing discomfort for growth. ✨

Wim Hof Breathing Technique – Reduce Chronic Inflammation #wimhof #whm

[ajcorectology]

EXCUSE the sunrise and sunset cornucopia, but these are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen! Today we are in St. Lucia, and island that my husband and I first started dating on when we met working together on a cruise ship… Oh, those volcanoes and sulfur baths! It’s been fun diving deep into the research as I finish up work on the paper that we will be publishing this year on the breathing method and exercise. As pictured above, active exhalations assist in postural stabilization. This in conjunction with the tactile feedback from the Ab-Ribbon, can give you the feedback and the results that you’ve been going for in both your core and functional strength training protocols. You will never feel your obliques like you do when you include active accelerations, a.k.a. the ENGAGED EXHALE into your strength training routine! Want to try some active exhalations in conjunction with your run? Visit my YouTube page Hypoxix, where I have a voice guided active exhalation running video set at 180 bpm, which is a perfect cadence for optimizing form. For just another six days, I’m offering 50% off the intermittent hypoxic breathing platform, each exhalation of which includes forced exhales, that have been shown to provide a variety of physiological benefits. Only over the next week I will be providing 15 minute free consults to anyone who signs up because I actually have the time for once… Otherwise, back to New York City for training the following week with little to no spare time!  Ab-ribbon is finally available, the link is in the bio, pick yours up and bring it into the workouts to optimize your abdominal strength and nervous system!  ❤️❤️ AJ #breath #breathe #core #coretraining #coreworkout #corework #obliques #breathwork #breathresearch #thebreathsource #breathinbreathout #exhale #inhale #inhaleexhale #vagus #vagusnervestimulation #parasympathetic #sympathetic #autonomicnervoussystem #anxietyrelief #anxietysupport #stress #stressrelief #stressreduction #stressrelease #wimhof #wimhofbreathing #wimhofmethod

He cumplido más de un año sin bañarme, jaja es broma; la verdad es que llevo un año practicando el método Wim Hof, bañandome todos los días por las mañanas con agua fría y haciendo respiraciones profundas sin falta, sin importar la temperatura que haya en el exterior. Al principio presentó un reto, mentalizarme y prepararme físicamente, pero poco a poco se hizo un hábito. Antes no contaba con la posibilidad de ducharme con agua caliente o tibia, creo que por eso mismo, no fue tan difícil aceptar el frío, muchas veces me pregunté cómo es que hacían nuestros ancestros, si se bañaban en un río, con agua de pozo, etc, y después fue con el paso del tiempo y la implementación de sistemas de calentamiento de agua como los boiler, etc, el proceso de bañarnos se hizo más cómodo, al punto de que no podríamos concebir una ducha sin agua caliente, y terminamos por normalizar este proceso, instalando en nuestra mente que lo correcto es recibir un chorro de agua caliente si o si para poder entrar a bañarnos. Siempre me han gustado los retos y probar de lo que es capaz mi cuerpo, me inspiró la historia de Wim Hof puesto que cuando decidí hacer el método pasaba justo por una etapa de transición en mi vida, fueron un par de frases las que me terminaron convenciendo en intentarlo, estás fueron: "No tengo miedo de morir, tengo miedo de no haber vivido", "Si nunca sales del confort, no descubrirás las capacidades más profundas de la mente y el cuerpo" Hay estudios que comprueban los beneficios de los baños con agua fría, en mi caso el año pasado no me enferme por gripa, creo que de alguna manera aumentaron mis defensas en mi sistema inmunológico, el aplicar el método Wim Hof fomenta la hiperoxigenacion, me ha ayudado a mentalizarme al iniciar mi día y a controlar el estrés en mi trabajo, he aprendido que aveces los pensamientos limitan nuestras capacidades y por ende nos impiden conocer de lo que somos capaces, es ir más allá de tu zona de confort y empezar a entender que lo "raro" no es tan raro cuando lo experimentas y terminas descubriendo algo nuevo para ti.

The water is cold as … frick up here.. it feels so good when it quits hurting. 15 years ago we had the privilege of hosting @iceman_hof for an intimate training with @rich_pw @urbjohann I dragged my Claw foot bathtub and we filled it with ice. Wim is amazing and his story is wild. he has a great breathing app we use often. So many benefits to cold exposure and breath work. Happy Sunday ❤️. I’m playing some Music today on FB 2:30. Ill pop on here for a pre show @ 2:00. @kate.austin.alchemist #icebath #wimhofmethod #lakearrowhead (at Lake Arrowhead, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYhOFemPJfP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Does anybody have experience with this stuff? I'm doing this for 3 weeks now, but i don't know what exactly is supposed to happen 😅

Holding your breath is supposed to stimulate growth hormones

Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin, also known as human growth hormones (hGH or HGH) in its human form, is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration in humans and other animals. 

Which is a cool thing i guess. But other than that? Is this technique anyhow useful?

Good things never came from comfortzones...

Zowel in het leven als tijdens eens training is het belangrijk jezelf af en toe uit je comfortzone te halen, om zo dat plateau te doorbreken waar ieder van ons vaak tegen aan loopt...

Niet te veel denken, ga door die muur... 🚀 🚀 🚀

Ab-Ribbon! Why did I design it? I felt as the appliance could get more out of connecting The Breath to the core in every single functional movement… Not only isolated do core movements on the ground. And guess what? You can order yours today! The link is in the bio.

Moving to a complete exhale is the key for strengthening your core, and also balancing your nervous system in conjunction with the functional movements. I promise you will never feel more connected to your core, and most importantly, never have such a feeling of enjoyment from your exercise routine because you’re instantaneously calming your nervous system with a slow exhalation.   ❤️❤️ AJ COMMENT HYPOXIX below for a happy new year gift for me to you, 50% off my entire hypoxic breathing platform !!

Taking some time to slow down and appreciate what's here. ❤ Today I'm starting the #wimhofast challenge: I will fast every Monday for the next month. I'll be curious to see what it does for my appetite, as well as my overall wellness. Staying at home has often left me feeling exasperated at the prospect of cooking yet another meal, cleaning yet more dishes, etc., and not even enjoying the process because I'm not even hungry! If nothing else, this will be an interesting experiment to further understand what my body needs and what it can do. #wimhoffast #wimhofast #wimhofmethod #dontforgettodrinkwater https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnGt3ZAeLv/?igshid=itxippfj84dz
