This stands to reason: Your plumbing is some of the most complex anatomy. Ladies, I’m here to tell you that your warmest bits are your belly and the small of your back. That those warm bits often mentioned in articles written by men are your head, your private parts, your arms and legs. So, earlier I mentioned that when you coat your body, you need to coat your warm bits. Tip 3: Your warm bits are not like men’s warm bits and are not comparable At this end of thirty days, I can get straight into the cold shower, and can stand in a stream of cold water, and have a less panicked kind of wash.īut doing that 20 days ago? You’re dreaming, mate.

It took you 30 seconds, you’re very clean, you’ve saved a ton of water, and you can celebrate that you even did it! Rinse off, and you’re done.īoom – you’ve had your first cold shower. Then inch into the shower and wash yourself quickly. Coat yourself with a bit of a layer of cold water. To make it easier on yourself, prepare your body first. No matter how powerful your willpower, the idea that you will have a full-length, cold shower is just a fucking myth. Tip 2: You can’t just get into a 3-minute-long cold shower on the first day So, be kind on yourself for the first week or so and exercise first thing every day, and then shower after you’re done. Getting into cold water makes your body wake the fuck up. When you’re just out of bed, you’re all warm and relaxed and sleepy. This is partly because you’re already in a different state, and so it’s less of a shock. It sounds really counterproductive, but after 30 days – some days where I exercised first thing, and others where I’ve showered straight out of bed – it’s easier to have a cold shower when your heart is already pounding. Tip 1: When you first begin, start taking cold showers after you’re already sweaty. Then, I’ll give you the results of having cold showers every day for just shy of a month.

We’ve grown up with our mothers telling us not to get cold because we will get sick. We’ve been having hot showers since we were born (just about).

In his venture (so far) he had become a vegan, done 180 days of yoga, learned how to be zen all the time no matter what (180 days of yoga), changed his thinking, gone barefoot most of the time, and started taking cold showers. He’d experimented with a bunch of things in his life and was seeking the ultimate way to feel great all the time. He came from a family with a tendency to be overweight. My new friend was an enthusiastic, amazing guy. And then I had a conversation in early March with a new friend as part of my project to have 100 coffees with new people this year.

Something I’d heard (thanks, Tim Ferriss). It must have been something in the atmosphere. I’ve learned so much just from taking cold showers that it’s going to be hard to go back. It will be 30 days on Friday 14 April 2017 and I have absolutely no doubt that I’m going to hit (and go beyond) 30 days. Just under 30 days ago, I decided to replace a hot shower with a cold shower every day for 30 days. Thank you for your patience! Uh, cold showers? Wtf?
