Is it vital to turn it to all the way cold when I first try cold showers?

It's more fun and frightening if you go in cold. You will instanly be aware. But there is no wrong or right approach. I always go in as cold as possible, when i use my soap, i switch to warm briefly, then i end the shower with cold again

 

Ease into that shit lol I tried to go in all cold and my body was immediate shock like I was about hyperventilate

 

You watch dragon ball super lol ?

 

Nice I've been watching the Japanese subbed version lol I've been to obsessed with it to care about porn haha I've been a fan since a kid NoFap will help me attain supper sayian blue levels lmao

 

It's not good to shock your body like that if you're not used to it. Turn it colder by time and always start with your legs and arms before you put cold water on your head.

 

It is supposed to shock your system. You are supposed to get your body into a state of shock. The body gets really stressed at a really short period of time. You become more resilient emotionally, and there is barely anything that can get you down afterwards. It's just cold. How are you going to have success if you can't take being cold for a few minutes

 

I love the "shock" feeling you get from just going in cold.

I suppose, it makes no different in general, though.

 

I once ran out of heating oil back when the price per gallon was outrageous and couldn't afford to get oil. I went for two months taking cold showers. There was no easing into it. I just had to jump in when it was ice cold and get clean as quickly as possible. I got used to it though. Nowadays I prefer cold showers during the summer months.

 

Dude, I'm not saying pour warm water over yourself. I'm saying don't turn that shit all the way to ice cold if you're used to warm showers. If you turn that shower half cold it will still shock you but not harm your body.

 

It's just a wrong statement, it does not harm your body. If anything it gives you more benefits

 

What ever dude

 

Lol the drastic fluctuation in temperature is not good for you body lol I guess people are missing that point you gotta ease into it

 

Prove it

 

Personally I got in fully cold straight away because I need more challenge. If you go in without hesitation every time you will start enjoying it.

 

I find gradually making it cold gives your body a chance to adjust. So I do it gradually.
but I am not really sure how long I should do the cold stage for. I am not counting but I think 1-2 minutes, is that enough?

 

I'm not that bold haha

 

Lol somedays I don't have the balls either, it never gets easier.
