    44 years old, worked construction my whole life, beating up my body. We went hiking in the Smokey mountains last summer, hiking 8miles a day up and down the mountains and my only option for bathing was a cold mountain stream, those who endured the cold stream bath felt great and those who didn’t noticeably suffered. I have bathed as cold as possible everyday since then, and started working out because of my old man pains. This is the first time in my life I have worked out and not had muscle pain, because of the cold water therapy! I feel like a kid again! I’m building an ice bathtub in my yard! I wish I knew all this ice stuff earlier!

Go look at the comments on his guided breathing video. Whether or not you believe in the science, his techniques have changed so many peoples lives.

    Cold water immersion might help with sleep but It can't be done right before sleep because when you get cold your body starts internal heating It's bad because around sleep time your body temperature drops And body heating after cold shower reverses that process I know it's a little counter intuitive

    Very well done. Agrees with my experiences as a HIIT athlete. However, I have one contradiction. I workout in early AM most days, from 0600 to 0700 most days. Work, kids, etc demand this. I take a 5 degree C bath for 4 minutes right after. I can tell you from long documented experience that it helps recovery, soreness and the like, as you state, but I sleep better by a wide margin at night, even though I take my baths in the early AM. There seems to be some mechanism that helps sleep quality many hours after the ice bath. Not sure what that is, but it is definitely there. I take road trips for work and such, and I notice immediate changes in sleep quality if I don't have my precious ice bath. Whatever it is, I love my sleep now!

    Hi there. We are really sorry for the delayed reply. Thank you for sharing your experiences with cold water immersion here in the comments. Your story is really interesting.... it seems that the cold exposure may serve as a sort of metabolic calibration for you, which lasts throughout the day. How this may effect your nocturnal sleep, is something I would like research in the future. However, one needs to also understand that there are many factors which can effect sleep quality. Routine is one of them. Therefore, the disturbed sleeping patterns you feel during travelling may not be related to ice-baths per-se, but may also be a result of being out of your daily routine and environment.

Doing jui jitsu and lifting weights for the past 2 years has taken a toll on my (only 24 year old) body. Not trying to sound like a salesman here. But I just had gone to the chiropractor and a massage place last week my back was bothering me so much. (I have knots in my back that are causing me to not be able to turn my neck) and neither of those helped. I took an ice bath and boom gone! Jui jitsu tonight and I’m gonna hit up the ice bath again. If you’ve never done it, get the balls and just try it at least once.

    When I played football ice baths were a godsend Cause I lived in south Texas our summers get to round 102 to I think the worst was 109 obviously there’s been hotter days but in high school we have a thing where if it’s over 110° practice has to be canceled Or in our case we just practice inside the gym and yet it’s super humid where I lived also still imagine breathing like soup And cramping was a big problem and we would be running all day and lifting them so yeah because especially most of our summer practices were held around high noon the hottest It will possibly be I remember ice baths for a lot of us were uncomfortable but I remember from here I would just do as long as I possibly could because I just my legs will be killing me and then I had to work after that so I needed my legs to feel good

    I discredit all these people telling me about research. The best research is personal experience. Cold baths are absolutely beneficial to the recovery process. Any negative effects are very minimal. I've played football (American) I was a boxer, wrestler, and ran track. And I can tell you that after 2 a day sometimes three a day practices my body was worn down. When I was introduced to ice baths it changed my life! Not only was I not in pain the following practice. But I had tons of energy as well. So much so that my teammates and coaches thought I was on drugs. So all of these people talking about "research" are misleading the point. If you are an athlete, or weight training, or have a job that is physically demanding, an ice bath will certainly help you. Just dont pussy out! Blessed.

    Jesse Madison how did u get started with ice baths? What do you tell yourself when u undergo an ice bath? I’m a starter and only had dipped my ankles into a bucket with ice(less than half filled with ice) and I find it very hard to keep doing it consistently, I can hold my feet there for about 30 seconds until the pain from the cold kicks in. Then I wait a for around 30 seconds and dip them in again. I can only hold them after all the ice has melted as this is when the average temp of the water starts to rise more than 1 degree celcius .

And instantly my mind couldn't be negative. It could just survive. My advice to you is first KNOW that YOU have the power to overcome any pain or fear. Instead of dipping your toes in just GET IN! it's your spine that actually needs the shock. It will retrain your nervous system. Breathe deep. And relax. You wont die. Stay as long as you possibly can then get out. Congratulations. You just conquered your mind. Good luck.

    First of all, all you’re going to do is lose all your muscle and look like a skinny fat person, stop doing so much cardio, if you want to do any cardio at all, play basketball once or twice a week. You need to lift weights and DIET AND NUTRITION to LOSE FAT while MAINTAINING and/or even BUILDING MUSCLE. In the last 5 months I’ve lost 55 pounds (300 to 245) and gained a good bit of strength. For the first time in my life I’m starting to see abs but still got about 35 pounds to lose
