If I can, I like to crank the heat up a little bit. I run cold, except at night, and I'm always hot at night. And I like that I'm doing the right things by bringing the temperature down in the room. That said, my husband first started cold plunging. I don't remember who introduced him to it. And I was like, all right, how hard could this be?
I'm just going to psych myself up and I'm going to go do it. And the first time I tried it, I probably lasted 15 seconds. And I thought it was going to, yeah. I thought I was going to hyperventilate.

I know, you're almost through the bad part. And I felt like I couldn't breathe and I was going to hyperventilate and die. And I was like, oh my God, because that's your body's natural reaction to being in water that it knows it can't survive in. That's clearly. So that happened. I gave it about a two month window of time.

And I started actually researching a little bit and doing my own kind of digging and seeing what was out there. And I was like, okay, so this makes sense that at 15 seconds, I thought it was going to die in there. And I freaked out and got out. And so I finally went back and my husband at this time is doing like five minutes or something in the cold plunge. And I was like, God, okay.

Um, but yeah, I mean, I just, I just got through it and look, I, I have, um, I've been an athlete my whole life. So an athlete, mine, you just tell yourself you're going to do something. So I got through it and all of a sudden I'm like at three minutes and I was like, oh, well this wasn't so bad after all.

And then you get kind of addicted to it and then you crave that feeling afterward because you feel amazing after you get out of a cold plunge.

And so, I mean, look, I love doing that. Do I have time for it every day? No. Right. But I would say that I try to do it three days a week. Every day, though, I do try to fit in some form of exercise. And that's generally the first thing I do. Now, sometimes it'll come after I get my kids to school, but most days it's very early before anybody's up.
