Maybe the next step is to join an ice swimming club 'stead o just sitting there like a lump, freezing

. My wife tried when the water was around 50 and said nope.

My son and I rave about the tub, wifey is having none of it.

i have been plunging since july. I just use a grizzly 450 cooler. Holds temp real nice. Hard to get colder then 34 truthfully unless you add salt or something. 12 min a week is all you need below 50. I find the mental battle pre plunge is the worst. after 30sec its usually no problem. 5min in the morning . Before work its a challenge at 415am when its 20 degrees out. I do feel better physically and mentally when I do it. I dont think it fixes everything though.

Good perspective coming from a medical professional
