Cold exposure is powerful. But only when done correctly. 🚫 DO NOT: Go from intense heat/workout → straight into cold Plunge if you feel dizzy, overheated, or dehydrated Do this after alcohol Do your first sessions completely alone ⚠️ Why? Because of something called the cold shock response: • sudden gasp • rapid heart rate • loss of breathing control DO THIS INSTEAD (10–15 min before) 1. Normalize your body temperature • Rest after workouts • Stop sweating • Hydrate 2. Light movement (not intense) • Walking • Arm circles • Squats 👉 Goal: warm, not hot 3. Breathwork (5–10 min) • Inhale (4 sec) • Exhale (6–8 sec) Repeat slowly You are NOT here to prove toughness. You are here to control your breath. 💬 Comment “READY” once you’ve read this
