Beginners’ Guide to Cold Water Immersion | The 3 by 4 Method

YouTube 1:22 Watch on YouTube →

Are you looking to dive into cold water immersion but unsure where to start? I recommend the "3 by 4" method: 3 minutes, 4 times a week. For beginners, start at a mild temperature of 55–57°F for full immersion. This range provides enough cold shock to be effective without being overwhelming.

Once you’re comfortable, you can gradually lower the temperature to find your sweet spot. The key is to empower yourself and make the experience challenging yet achievable.

Are you ready to embrace the cold?
