Anyone else do contrast showers in the morning?
Start with your normal shower then finish with a few minutes icy cold.
Better than any caffeine to start the day. There are health benefits to it as well.
Noticed this morning it was a tad fresher but we did have the first real frost last night. |

"Not convinced about the health benefits. Often people drown when they jump into a cold lake"
I take people cold water dipping / swimming
I never just jump in or tell anybody else too.
The reason people die doing what you say is the cold water shock, an adult male can drown on a cup of water when they jump in and have the shock they naturally inhale deeply, around 3 to 4 litres
Often in very cold reservoirs or deep bodies of water.
Always respect Mother Nature or she will bite your ass |

"I used to do it but just like a hot shower after a run now, I don't think my heart could take the excitement anymore
Cold can help with DOMS"
That's true, I may try a contrast after my run late |

Yes! Last Christmas my (probably evil) housemate decided to get an eco boiler fitted, and of course, something went wrong and we had no hot water until January. I had a lot of cold showers over that period and my skin and hair actually looked better - so I kept that as an element of my routine, going forwards. Really has made a difference. |
