after a good nights rest I got up around 5:30 this morning and have been working on loosening up since. Back roller and then tennis ball. A lot of stretching. Now it’s time to get cold and then warm back up. Think I’ll do a HITT type workout this morning. Some day I should actually come up with a work out plan but I don’t think today is it.
It’s gonna be a great day😎

This morning, I hauled my Big, Thick, Manly, Red....beard out of bed, then I got it wet so it would be even heavier as I hauled it around. With the breeze and damp conditions, I'm getting my cold therapy too.
As a forcible optimist, my line goes like this:
It's gonna be a good day, or else.

@cory I just picked up a 25 lb kettlebell and dang does it give a workout. It’s not that it’s heavy, it’s awkward I guess is the easiest way to put it. Besides Russian twists I can’t tell you what all I did but my body was whooped after 15 minutes. I opted out of doing tabata sprints and just rode at a leisurely pace for ten minutes. I never understood why people used kettlebells until now. They are great for maintaining mobility plus weight training.
Oh and I did three minutes at 38 F (3.3 C) this morning. I think I’m going to convert to the rest of the world temp scale just cause it sounds tougher😎
As always it’s gonna be a great day, or else ( thanks Kavi)

The russian guy Pavel Tatsouline (sp?) is responsible for spreading the KB gospel. It is said to be the single best overall body work out and in a short amount of time.

Thanks for the link. And yes 3.3 C definitely wakes you up. I’m playing with it a bit lately. I know if I calm myself with deep breathing after the initial shock I can tolerate it much better. In fact I’m in no rush to get out. Days that I don’t do that and just try to fight it, I count the seconds down and jump out. The dopamine hit seems to last longer on the fighting days. Also I’ve been tracking my heart rate while doing it. It goes up initially which is expected but when I do the breath work I can get it back down within a few seconds. Almost to my resting heart rate which is between 57 and 61 now. Doing breath work at night I can lower it to below 50.

interesting.
I kind of gather that the more shocking it is to you, the stronger are the positive effects.
On the one hand, one could argue that 3 minutes at 40* is the 'same' as 7 minutes at 48*, but maybe the greater shock of 40 eclipses the longer cold duration of 48

Might be. I think by relaxing through the breathing it cuts back on the spike for me. I guess when I just fight it and suffer I must feel a different sense of accomplishment and it spikes more. I think Huberman said something about experimenting and finding what works for oneself and I decided to test it out. I’m still trying to figure out why some days at 45F I can’t control the shiver and other days at 38F I can easily. My dr gave me a lecture about the risk of going to cold, basically citing hypothermia, and then told me that I’m not gonna listen anyhow so keep doing what I’m doing because I’m in a lot better shape health wise than I was a year ago.
And thanks again for that link. I think I’m gonna attempt that routine tomorrow morning after a good warm up.
