Cold showers Anonymous 10/03/18 (Wed) 20:21:16 No.13395

How should i take cold showers? should i jump straight into the cold water or can i start with warm water and gradually make it colder? does it have the same benefits if i do it that way?

the former because if you choose the latter you'll be a pussy and never turn the water temp down all the way

straight into cold water

it's the same deal as jumping into a pool vs slowly wading in

the latter is more agonizing and takes longer

I did the cold shower meme a couple years ago and ended up building up my tolerance to cold, but absolutely destroyed my tolerance to heat.

During winter at my college they crank they heat up until it reaches oven temperatures to accommodate for the poor desert and jungle dwellers who cant handle a little northern climate.

In short, I was sweating balls inside.

Anybody else have similar experiences? We need another Ice Age tbh.

I do hot/warm, then instantly cold for the last minute or two. I like the shock. I should probably lengthen the cold part, or do cold-hot-cold.

I hop in the shower with very mild warm water, and then slowly decrease to the coldest my shower will go.

I don't think it matters, but I couldn't name any benefits as I'm just used to cold showers. I think going straight to cold water is likely more comfortable though.

Interesting, I've done cold showers since I was a kid and I can take both heat and cold. Maybe it just depends on how long you build up resistance.
