🔥🧊 Tips for Your Cold Plunge 🔥🧊
That first icy rush? Totally normal. ❄️
Here’s what’s happening when you step from sauna to plunge: your body instantly shifts into protection mode — pulling blood toward your core to keep vital organs safe. It’s an intelligent stress response, not a danger signal.
👉 What you might feel: tingling, pins + needles, numbness, or that sharp “cold shock” in your breath. This is your body adapting and building resilience.
💡 How to ride it out:
• Focus on slow, steady breathing to calm your system
• Wiggle your fingers + toes to keep circulation moving
• 1–3 minutes is plenty — listen to your body
• Warm up gently before heading back into the sauna
Contrast therapy isn’t just about the sauna or the plunge — it’s about how your body responds, adapts, and comes out stronger each time. 💪
