I do something similar, except I only take cold showers at the gym, before and after using the steam room. At home I take slightly longer warm showers.
It takes about a week to get used to cold showers after which the "holy shit" feeling lasts for about 10 seconds, and after 1-2 minutes you enjoy it.
- SapphireSun 16y agoI dunno man, I tried it a few times and I started shivering uncontrollably. Maybe I set the temperature too low?
- Super_Jambo 16y agoI find that whenever I'm coming down with some kind of illness or am overly tired my ability to cope with cold showers drops through the floor and my body lets me know this ain't acceptable. Maybe that was it? Or could just be you have lower cold tolerance? Uncontrollable shivering is probably best avoided though!
- smokey_the_bear 16y agoThe temperature of your cold water will depend on where you live too. In Florida the groundwater is 70 degrees. I live in the mountains at 7000 feet, the water is much colder.
