Week 8: Cold Water Therapy

Okay this should be a lot easier to practice when it’s so hot outside! I’ve gone to cryo therapy a bunch of times and found it beneficial especially after I tore my hamstring while out running. What I really like about this week’s challenge is the simplicity of incorporating this healthy habit by attaching it to our regular routine of your daily shower. It really takes such a small amount of time but has huge benefits.

It’s believed and being studied that by adding 2-3 minutes of cold water daily can strengthen your immune system, boost your metabolism, up your endorphins and improve your circulation. It’s super important when that flight or fight response kicks in when the water turns cold to breathe through the uncomfortableness to slow your heart rate and reap the benefits.
