Started with cold showers and then eventually set up a cold plunge. Been doing it a couple years now. Sucks so bad while you're in it, but you feel SO good when you get out. Been doing it every day before workouts. Gets you pretty pumped to work out. Pretty lucky with the climate in creston in the winter. Just have a stock tub next to our hot tub that pretty much stays around 0 all winter. Sometimes you have to break a couple inches of ice off the top of it starts freezing hard at night.

Anyone else?

I jumped in the lake one time in Feb while waiting for the ferry in Nakusp. Sure shocked the system but you feel awesome afterwards. Never tried the working out part though.

Cold showers are just punishing yourself first thing in the morning. Fawk that I already don't want to go to work and a hot shower does much more to get me going in the morning than a coffee.

That said I started using the cold plunge at the crazy creek hot pools and that is pretty damn invigorating.

Deaner “ the iceman! “

Haha my wife can endure some cold water, it’s impressive. I’ve seen her dip into Robson river, Canal Flats… she can go 10 minutes

I’m more of a hot spring guy… so we found our common ground at Lussier hot springs… I was in the hot with the boy and she’s in the river freezing lol

I hear good things about sleeping better after. I have a project for the back yard in planning. Sauna/cold plunge will be nice to have off the deck.

Finishing off your hot shower by turning it to cold for few min works well for what it is and you don’t need to spend any extra money.

a group of us were up snowmobiling up at Little Bear LAke Saskatchewan. after a hard day of rideing we all gotd into the out door hot tubs. we were all boozed up when I decided to get out of the hot tub and junp into the snow. Then once finished rolling around in the snow I jumped back into the hot tub. Shin felt like I was being pricked by a million needles. people started trying it after I went a second round. It's actually quite invigourating.

Was super high on mushrooms one time and kept going back and forth between the hot tub and cold plunge. Like 10 times. By the end you couldn't even feel the difference. Got super sick the next day though so couldnt have been too good for me. Haha
