I swear by cold therapy since Wim Hof turned me onto it. Cold tip: Buy the large reusable ice blocks for ice chests. Depending on how cold you want your water, you can get by with as low as six refreezable blocks. Fill your tub with cold water and then add the blocks. When you're done, wipe off the blocks and put them back in the freezer.

I don't trust him, hes been asked a couple of times already even on tv what it is in cold therapy that is good for your body and hes only answer is some random thing about how he takes a ice bath. He is like a car dealer having no idea about cars but still suggesting the most expensive overpriced fiat.

Yo Z! I have been doing cold showers for years. Can’t remember when I started doing it. What I want to say is, even though I’ve done this a while, I am inspired by tis video to not only continue cold water showers but to intensify my cold water experience. So thank you so much! See you in the Zgym!!!

Your video's are sooooo informative!! Great content always! I recommend your videos to people all the time.... cause you seem to strive for communicating educational content and encouragement. Big Fan for years!!!!!!!

I am thankful. Totaly agree with her . Almost everyday i take a cold shower and wow i feel always better day by day

Zuzka- you are so motivating w your knowledge and beauty. You are glowing in this video btw !) I love cold plunges- they taught me about breathing and meditating. So much can be said about mind control during a plunge. Literally one of my top 5 in LIFE !!

Great to see you still going strong. First saw you in some travel vlogs on Sicily many years ago, which inspired me to visit the island.....Maybe now you have inspired me to do cold showers!

When you dip Zuska in cold water, the water immediately heats up and starts boiling.

Thanks so much to you and your informative videos!! You've have motivated me back to getting in better shape❤😊

I just did 2 minutes in the cold water bath with two bags of ice... Wish I had more! Definitely felt so good after! I can def use some help with inflammation, immunity, blood circulation, etc. I will be trying to implement it into my new routine! Thanks Zuzka!

Great info on cold therapy and plunge!! Thank you!🥰

Everything about your videos is beautiful: yourself of course, the content as well is always interesting and useful and your house and the view on the background are very relaxing and welcoming.

Thank you🙏

Zuzka, mate môj obdiv.Pozdravujem Vás zo Slovenska

I love you, Zuzka ❤

Thanks a lot for the information!

Would like to try this, living in Barbados even water from the tap isn't as cold as what you'd need to experience that shock. When surfing in Australia, I remember every time I duck dived I couldn't breathe it was so cold. But that was in Victoria during the winter.

Been watching your videos for awhile. Always amazing content. Love from 🇨🇦

Astoundingly informative video, Zuzka! Thank you so much!

Nice to see you drinking mate!! Best regards from Argentina!

very helpful your episode .I do some cold bath .I modified a freezer chest for that . I love that you have mate!!

Thank you Zuzka! I am going to try cold shower therapy after watching this video, cheers to progress!!

This was a perfect video. I had some questions that you had answered such as the shivering and the length to start. Also thanks for letting us know about not taking a cold shower right after lifting weights.

I've been curious about cold baths/showers for some time, but never went beyond using coolish water to shower. However, after watching your video, I'm determined to blast myself with icy water for at least a minute to start with. I took a special interest in the part about the benefits of using cold water on our heads. My memory has been deteriorating over the years and I'm hoping it will help clear the fog Thanks for the great info!

Great tips..thank you. Going to jump in the lake! 😁

Thank You matushka Zuzka.

Thankyou for your insights 😘💞🙌 In Regina Saskatchewan Canada I just go outside and walk barefoot then make snow angels in the snow✌🏽❤️😁

Cheers from Mexico, i will start doing my cool water showers !!!! 🥶

Great content! thanks.

Hi ccharles from Stlouis I remember you talking about losing your dog at one point when I lost my dog and now it’s getting kinda hard to get back into working out again so I understand what you were talking about. Thank you.

I do cold showers.. I'd try a cold plunge if I could. (Jacuzzi w/cold water is all I have lol) You are doing awesome, love your videos! Always very informative 😁

You look amazing ❤

All points I can attest to. I take a cold shower every morning after I exercise. Sometimes I don’t sleep well because of me a pause. But after the cold shower, I’m set. Yahoo!

Yep, I'm going to take the plunge. I'm just getting over major ham-string injury at the gym that happened two months ago. I'm hoping this will help the healing as well as provide all the other benefits you describe. I'm in! 🥶 You have GREAT looking skin by the way....

Thanks for this info.; I've been doing WH breathing, but was reluctant to start the cold thing.

When I go down to south Spain in the winter for riding my bike, to get away from the shite uk weather, I then change to ice baths so a s to recover the legs! Need a ice bath after riding in 24 to 26 degrees 😊

Done 5 min cold plunge for a first time brrrrr 😅 definitely don’t need coffee to wake up… thanks for motivation!!!!

I’ve been filming my IceBath icetherapy on my channel because it gives me so much positive benefits, mentally/emotionally/physically as I am now sober 4 years and I am actually happy and present for once in my life.

Hello Zuzka, where did you learn to drink mate? I am from Argentina and here it is consumed a lot. greetings!!!

Thanks Zuka, informative as always ❤ do you know how the pro and cons of hypertensive individuals respond to cols water treatment ?

What cold plunge tub do you have? Is it for outside and collapsible?

Kisses and Sunshine to you for your positive work and beauty. ❤❤❤

Thank you for that really informative and motivational report! I thought about starting cold-showers or dips since some time as I heared it can have pyhsical and psychical good effects. You put this all together so well, it's really motivational! In general I like your clips and information a lot, even though me as a 48yo gorilla have a way to go until I can do even parts of your fitness flows ... :D You're mentioning topics that really concern me personally (slow metabolism and easy infectiveness), sooo ... my tomorrows shower will be turned to the left side and I will yell out my family, but ... that will be their part when I'm doing something for my body xD Thank you again and have good times :)

Hello. I'm from Dresden in Germany. Me and two friends are planning a road trip around the Southwest and California next year. We also want to visit Lake Tahoe. What area of ​​Lake Tahoe can be seen in the background? Is there an area of ​​Lake Tahoe that is particularly worth visiting? More the north or the south? Or does it look the same everywhere? Thank you

Lol me again Zuska, been having cold showers after my sport activities since my 30's now 64 and feel the better for them😱

Thank you so much, Zuzka. You have a new subscriber!! May I ask, why does cold therapy flatline muscle strength and size gains?

Zuzka do you never use warm or hot water at all even in the winter months?

Isn’t it more about the temperature vs whether you become accustomed to it? 3 min is the minimum per session correct?

After watching several of Z's videos I need a cold shower

Zuzka tomando mate!!! Que maravilla ❤

I started finishing up my showers with a blast of cold water and try to endure it for a minute. Next i will fill my tub with cold water and throw some ice in it!

Zuzka got in an ice bath and it immediately became a hot bath

Is it suitable for Migraine,sinus, varicose veins, heavy period, hypothyroidism person???

how about in asia.. is the same benefit? in case our daily temperature so high every day about 35 celcius

Do you mix cold dips with sauna? What is the best order and frequency? Looking to build a sauna in my basement this fall, which I will use after doing cold water dips in my (outdoor) pool this winter.

@ZuzkaLight

I haven't been mixing it because I do cold plunge at the beginning of the day to boost my dopamine and metabolism (you have to end on the cold plunge if you want those benefits) and sauna after my training to boost my HGH, which usually happens later in the afternoon or at the evening. Also, there are different practices for different goals.

It dawned on me. There is ice in my buckets that I am using. I see no ice in yours. What temperature are you using?

What is your chiller machine for 'polar ice bath' ?

I work mornings. Would I get the same results if I do it in the evenings after my walks...

Saludos happy Wednesday

Zuzka, what brand cold tub do you use in the video?

I don't know Zuzka. I'm 83 and a nice warm shower feels good. :-) Warms the bones. It's winter here now and I think about going to AZ for the winter, but prefer walking and gym with buddy daily here is Washington State. :-) RAIN OR SHINE!

I'm always the one that warms up the bed, never got trouble with cold in the winter. But funny thing is I hate nothing as much as a cold shower... It is all about your body being confortable at some temprature and that is what is bad for you. While doctors don't fully understand it yet, they do know ... ^ ... and being at extreme tempratures no matter if it is hot or cold breaks that. I'm from the netherlands so there is 9 months of cold & wet weather anyway and maybe 1 month of hot.

Drinking Mate!! Cheers to you!!! I am also a mate drinker.

I haven’t done any cold water therapy and haven’t had Covid!

She’s so beautiful, I could listen to her voice the whole day every day 🥰

How often did you get sick the five years before you started taking cold showers?

Drinking mate ❤

Most peeps just want a prescription when they get sick. That's my experience. Good advice only works if it tastes like a donut and it doesn't take any effort ! Zuzka looking absolutely beautiful even when she sounds like Arnie when she says "body "😊

Cold turkey or gradually from hot to cold? Same benefits? If you go gradually, then the shock effects are less but are the benefits negated as well?

Hello, Zuzka. Are you drinking mate? I'm from Argentina (a place where this infusion is a tradition) and this detail caught my attention. I don't know if you knew but yerba mate has many anti-aging properties, referring to your video. A big hug for you! Greetings from Argentina.

Hi Zuzaka. This is Ark, and I have just discovered your channel a week ago. I have been watching a few videos about nutrition, habits, and training from years ago and have commented there. I am amazed and surprised, that we both share a similar approach to wellness: body, mind and spirit. I have, of course, used cold showers for years on a regular basis. I tried plunging in the bucket as well but I don't shiver. I wonder if I need to lower the temperature or sit in longer. I use 55 degrees water and stay for 5 minutes. Showers take about 2-3 minutes. If I don't shiver, Am I still getting the benefit? Anyway, my brother and I run a Complete Warrior Fitness gym in Chicago. We also have a youtube channel that we started a little over a year ago. Maybe you like our content too. Feel the Power! Let's do this!

If you can sit in 55 degrees for 5 minutes with no shivering after, then you're not getting the amount of stress for the beneficial adaptations. At least not as much. I would decrease the temperature. My cold plunge is always between 44 and 48 degrees. If I don't do jumping jacks after the plunge, my body shivers for 30 minutes :)
