What are Cold Plunges?
Cold Plunges are a type of ice bath where you submerge your body, usually from the neck down, in a tub of very cold water. It’s called a plunge because it’s essentially that, a tall, deep, basin of water with just enough room for you to sit in and take a dip, though technically a winter lake or other cold body of water could do the same job. Cold plunges are popular with athletes or people who need to maximize their recovery after physical activity. It helps with muscle aches and fights inflammation.
The more effective cold plunges are a consistent temperature somewhere between 50-60°F. The shock of the cold water, even for the 1 or 2 minutes of the plunge, can improve circulation, boost mental health, and truly help you get back to working out again quickly.
How Do Cold Plunges Work?
When you immerse yourself in a cold plunge tub, your blood vessels tighten, sending blood to your core to keep you warm. This boosts circulation, reduces swelling, and helps muscles recover faster. It also triggers the release of endorphins (feel-good chemicals) and norepinephrine, which can improve mood, energy, and focus. Over time, your body gets better at handling cold, which can strengthen your immune system and metabolism. You’ll start slow—just 30-90 seconds—and increase over time as you grow accustomed to the cold water.
