Really?

Really?

Really?

And potentially low-fit people are not stressing their body as much. So they get big return on markers of recovery from engaging in ice bath.

Because right now I'll do three minutes, probably five days a week, sometimes six days a week if I'm home. I do three minutes, 50 degrees. And then I dry off, I warm up, I do 10, 12 minutes on the treadmill. And then I always feel like I have an amazing workout after that. I know ice bath after the workout. because I don't want to shut down the normal repair process.

But again, I'm not tracking that. So this is completely anecdotal. This is just how I feel. And I sort of have this mental thing in my head where, you know, I wake up in the morning and I don't, as I exit my bathroom, there's the ice bath.

yeah just just because i want to do something hard i know i know it's so good for that and it doesn't get easier come down to the maybe what i'll do is is um start to measure and track these and maybe back off the number of times yeah but potentially you know just doing it again you know this is is we we have a quite a bit more to look into the data set to the timing of the ice plunge relative to exercise we don't necessarily know that um and then we we need to dig into sleep as well but the results it looks like

Yeah, because I would have said... So sleep promoting should be good for recovery, right?
