      Killer set up!!

      One thing I love doing is getting uncomfortably warm and then uncomfortably cold, be it what I described previously or doing hot springs into a cold river, hot tub into a snow drift, etc. they say it’s really good for you.

      One thing I could be better about is finishing with the cold part so that you go out with lower core temperature and greater wakefulness. I usually just finish my routine with a cold shower but really need to work up the gumption to end on a cold plunge and then cold shower.

      Think it, be it.

        Beautiful! Well done @Brock I love Sauna a lot. Do it once a week during winter.

          This thread is epic! Nice build @Brock Id love to build my own… not exactly in the budget. I love ending my warm shower with a cold minute or two. @mclaincausey that is a solid routine! Your practice is inspiring me to add the elements in like that

            @Fadez thanks man. I gotta say, I come out of it with a level of serenity that is difficult for me to otherwise achieve these days with work stresses and a toddler.

            Extremely envious of Brock’s setup. I have to go to a club for my fix.

            Think it, be it.

                      Fantastic design and finish @Brock!

                      Thankfully, I have a sauna king my apparent complex, but nothing as impressive as yours.

                      Off to sweat now.

                        I recently tried cold plunge for the first time, quite the experience!

                        I heard it described as micro-dosing hypothermia in a meme once, which really tickled me.. 😆

                                @T4920 I randomly saw this after @mclaincausey shared his explanation of torturing himself with extreme temperatures. Serendipity! 😂

                                  Torture indeed. Ya gotta move as quickly as you can between extremes and a plunge ain’t a plunge unless you submerge your head, which very few people do at the club. It feels like a bellows is violently pulling all the air out of your lungs to do the plunge. It is not comfortable. Then you kind of stabilize a bit and I personally try to count breaths to distract from the discomfort.

                                  Then jumping into the hot tub it feels cold for a while and like tiny needles are poking your neurons.

                                  Consult your doctor etc but I love it.

                                  Think it, be it.

                                    @mclaincausey medically this is a no-go for me. But I’m glad you enjoy it!
