First Hour After Waking Up: 1-3 minutes of deliberate cold exposure after waking up will massively increase and sustain your energy levels throughout the day. ❄️
Before Training: Studies have shown that 1-3 mins of cold exposure before training can increase performance through long lasting increases in dopamine and adrenaline (energy + motivation + alertness). ⚡️
After Training: Post training recovery is a vital process of performance. Deliberate cold exposure will help remove inflammation from the body so you can feel better the day after physical exercise. 🔋
Aim to get at least 11 minutes of cold exposure per week. This 11 minutes can be spread across 2-4 sessions. 1-3 mins of cold exposure at a time is a great starting point.
This varies from person to person. The key is for it to be uncomfortably cold but you can stay in safely. This could be anywhere from 1 degree celsius (33 degrees f) to 20 degrees celsius (68 degrees f).
