21 DAY COLD SHOWER CHALLENGE - DAY 1
5 minute cold shower for 21 days in a row. No warmup hot before taking the plunge. Recording daily the post game commentary. I see this as a way to face momentary mind resistances that may come up as how I talk myself out of following through with my own instructions.
16 Health Benefits of Cold Showers
Cold Shower talk - rambling out the beginning's - Day 1
Getting into the habit of playing around with these 21 day challenges :)
Always wanted to document the results if any of doing a cold shower everyday..
Inspired by Whim Hof
What I really like about Whim Hof is his investigations into both cold therapy and breathing:
The cold is your warm friend....Proper exposure to the cold starts a cascade of health benefits, including the buildup of brown adipose tissue and resultant fat loss, reduced inflammation that facilitates a fortified immune system, balanced hormone levels, improved sleep quality, and the production of endorphins— the feel-good chemicals in the brain that naturally elevate your mood.
- Let's see what my results look like - "the cold is my warm friend".
Decentralized Media Broadcasting is the Future - Sharing Because You Want to

- What I like about this social experiment, is the fact that it's success is directly dependent on ordinary people everywhere - where there's a willingness to say,
"Yes - I accept a weekly payment for being a human being to cover my basic costs of Existing Here."
This is a very good challenge but I think I can only do it on a hot summer day when I don't have the AC on at home. I might be comfortable with it . I guess that defeats the purpose.
Thumbs up class :)
Thumbs up to mannabase too!
I will tell you a secret. I haven't had a hot shower in over 6 months.
Not because of a challenge, because I have no hot bloody water :D
Wahhhhh!! lol. Fackn hates it :D
if you could learn to love it - that would be impressive :)
Totes. I could never do.
That's one of the reasons I moved to Asia is to rid of that buggery cold weather and wind.
The water isn't so cold but certainly gives you shivers at night :)
I've heard that a cold shower or cold bath at night...makes for a deeper sleep.. - will investigate and report back :)
good luck with sticking to it.
Are you doing his breathing?

I tried cold showers. It definitely feels like something good is going on inside your body. And man, is it invigorating.
Okay now I KNOW you are a glutto for punishment! I took the cold shower challenge for 1 day because of my friend @matkodurko and that was enough for me.
Keep challenging yourself. It is either inspiring or entertaining!
lolololololol
People in prison like to take cold showers because becoming accustomed to the shock of the cold water prepares you for the shock of being shanked so you don't seize up when that happens. I like to switch the water to cold in the summer so I don't get all sweaty as soon as I step out of the shower.
interesting points here - thanks for adding in here.
Good luck with you challenge, I look forward to your results.
I've got you beat. I've been doing cold showers (almost) every day for years.
niiiice
Are you doing his breathing?That is a superb project however i think i will most effective do it on a warm summer season day when I do not have the ac on at home. i might be relaxed with it . i guess that defeats the purpose.
I play with my breathing - you don't really have to think about it....just kind of play with the movement - both fast and slow. My preference is slow.
in getting comfortable with the cold...it works best if you first start off with doing cycles back and forth from hot to cold and warm. Play around with your own internal temperature gauge.
When you are warmed up inside it is for sure easier to embrace the cold and not be so reactive to it...it's incredible stuff to explore
