How your heart rate shifts during a 3-minute ice bath
❤️ Before the plunge, your HR naturally rises as your body anticipates the cold.
🏃♀️The moment you enter, that fight-or-flight response kicks in and elevates it even further.
🧘♀️Then, as your body begins to adapt to the temperature, your breathing settles, your nervous system calms, and your heart rate gradually drops.
😁 By the final minute, you’re feeling regulated, focused, and riding the wave of endorphins.
Important: Cold water immersion is not recommended for individuals with cardiovascular conditions.
