I think this cold water thing is going to take me a while to get used to. All I wanted today was a warm shower - however, I didn't give in on this and just took the plunge anyway. Wasn't so well set up today with my watch so i think I had about 8 mins. No time to exercise or do any warm-up stuff after and this left me feeling cold all day (maybe i should have dressed more warmly too, till I warmed up properly) as I only had jeans and a thin cotton shirt on for most of the day. Definitely not going to shave in the cold again as I look like a human colander bleeding from every pore and goosebump that the razor took off!
Would be interested to know what the correct preparation is for getting ready to take a cold water bath as well as what to do afterwards in different scenarios such as:
- Straight out of bed into the cold water: exercise or not afterwards? how to warm up if you dont exercise
- Some exercise first, cold bath, exercise after. What type of exercise is best and for how long?
- Other scenarios that work for you. Tell me about them and I will post the best responses.
Can ayone help me - please post a comment or mail me.

Hi.
I don't go straight out of bed into the cold water: I do mine later in the day.
I do some exercise first, cold bath, more exercise after.

I agree with Nigel. U can exercise before if U wish, but exercising afterwards to warm up is most essential
