Mastering the Cold Plunge: Expert Tips for a Refreshing Wellness Routine

In a recent video, wellness instructor MoJo shared her essential tips for effective cold plunging, a practice she admits to initially disliking but has since mastered. Addressing common challenges, MoJo emphasized the importance of contrast therapy, suggesting that beginners pair cold plunges with a sauna or hot tub session to ease the transition. 'If you just do a cold plunge in isolation, it's miserable,' she stated, advocating for a warm escape after the cold immersion.She also recommended practical attire, opting for full-body swimwear over bikinis to reduce skin exposure and wearing swimmer shoes for foot comfort, especially for newcomers. When entering the 43-degree water, MoJo advised quick immersion, avoiding gradual entry, and focusing on deep exhales to manage the initial shock.MoJo highlighted several personal benefits she has experienced from cold plunging, including a significant boost in energy, comparable to or better than caffeine, increased endorphins, enhanced mental clarity and fortitude, reduced muscle soreness and joint pain, and decreased anxiety attributed to the breathwork involved. Her insights offer a valuable guide for anyone looking to incorporate cold plunging into their wellness regimen.
