I once stood under a waterfall in the mountains and when the cold glacial water hit my head, it felt like my skull split open and my brain fell out. Lol. But ever since then, I've been hooked on taking cold showers after warm showers. Even in the winter...and it gets pretty cold here in NYC. But the sensation is awesome. Once you get over your preconceived notion that it's "uncomfortable" you get quite addicted to it. The sensory overload is very stimulating, both mentally and physically. Bitch
Yikes, this reminds me of goin' skinny dippin' at the power dam in SE Utah, country is hot but the water is freeeezzziiinnngggg COLD, Hmmm.....contrast shower i could try, ....hmmm, gonna try one tomorrow! =)btw, 5 stars and Ian is really nuttty! LMAO
i just tried this and i liked it alot, but it made me real short of breath (i learnt in a physics lesson once that when you are in freezing water it gets harder to breathe, dont remember the specifics) so maybe not such a great idea if you have breathing difficulties? just a thought
cold shower yikes i need a hot jacuzzi..whats up with these videos..i do not get it they're getting freaydeakier al the time lol.Damit i should get paid for my videos too..Ian bitches.i need a cold showere after watching some of those dancing bouncing videos.Ha...dan in batavia ny..im going to get net zero and make a horses video..bye
Yeah. I think I got a lot of energy. It seems to help me keep my skin cleaner. My skin is kinda oily. I don't know if I stay under the cold water long enough though. I'll have to google this thing or Wikipedia it.
sweet video, but the shower thing fucked me up, i dunno if its my skin. But when my skin goes from cold to hot quickly i get a strange burning sensation. it always happens when i have been walking out when its cold and i come back to a warm house my hands just burn up, so for the record change heats slowly no drastic changes in temperature but i feel fucking awesome Now. Thanks
I haven't done a cold shower with the intention of it being a contrast shower but I have taken really cold showers in the past after reading how good it was. I think I heard that it is also good to do after a workout to keep the muscles from getting too sore. Anyway, do you finish with warm showers at the end because last time I took a cold shower, I had deep chills for the rest of the night.
I have tried this concept of contrast showers, but not quite fully. I usually begin my shower with letting the first water drain me (and that is always cold, even if you choose a higher temperature - atleast it is in Sweden). Then it goes to the high temperature it was set to.
But I've never tried to turn the cold back on. I shall try it!
Also, since it increases circulation it would probably be good to eat a piece of fruit or something nutritious since it will increase the speed and efficiency of the nutrients in your blood stream. So, you would probably feel even better.
I did this before I went to work. Usually I'm very tired and struggle to keep concentration but today I felt great.
The cold water was SO shocking that I started to breathe heavy and actually started laughing because it was soo cold. I still feel great even after I've gotten home so I will do this every day from now on. Thank you so much I Power!
I decided to make my follow up comment this morning, but my shower was great! I think i will be much more productive today even though its monday -_-, but rather than a usual day, i'll have more energy and have a better school day. Thx for the vid!!
i tried this about 20 mins ago, it was really hard to put up with the cold when i changed the temperature. but once i put the hot water back on it felt all worth it. over all it was fairly refreshing. i might even do this more often.
i take cold showers all the time. my showers are so cold that my breath is visible. its so cold my nut sack freezes and gets very small. thats for real. i was worried after my first super cold shower because my nut sack was so shrivled up and shrunken i thought it might be permament damaged
the reason you feel so great is from the rush of endorphins. you get the same feeling when you do very strenuous exercise. the more pain you feel, the better you will feel after. the pain will be worth it though
wow, i could defiantly see you guys just making up the whole contrast shower so people go take freezing cold showers and hate it but think its health and then next video you say " yea we were lying, theres nothing healthy about taking cold showers"
haha
sadly enough im gonna try it though
ill make a vid response on how it goes, haha
and Reese needs to stop whoring out his twitter in the side bar =).
whats next, programmable bursts of temperature controlled water? i've adapted to cold showers now for the most part but this contrast thing sounds interesting. soap can dissolve oil better in hot water i think.
Sorry about the long comments XD !Anyway, I would like to try alternating a few times though, and i believe that it is going to work, and i will tell you tomorrow after school because i take a shower in the morning. I'd also like to add that i am going to be participating in "the big digg" tomorrow for the uncultured project, sorry for the title change. But i will check my time zone and i wish you good luck on the attempt to promote the organization. So great vid, and i hope to see more.
Hey i liked the video, great suggestion for people. I liked how you brought in how the point of your conscious self and your physical self are both benifited from this "contrast shower". I actually have taken those showers before, just all i do is take my regualar hot shower, all the usual, but then switch to cold at the very end to feel better, then i'm done with my shower.
Pretty awesome you made a whole vid of this, I saw it mentioned a while back on the Athene site and did it a while. I reverted off it given the cold weather lately, but may try to go back.
Yous should record one of you takin a contrast shower...not a video..but the audio...cause i assume there is screaming...and living in Ireland we are used to the cold :P
I don't need cold water to chop wood, and I fucking hate cold shower, some times my water heater doesn't work and i have to take cold shower and it's awful, and i live a in a hot country, today we had like 34 Celsius

Shouldn't you give a link to some kind of scientific study that say it is true? Open minded doesn't mean I want some kind of proof.
I do actually do the cold show thing actually, but I did it because at the end of a shower, I feel really warm and it gives a nice adrenalin rush.
But I still want some kind of evidence that it actually healthy. You didn't state any study or anything at all.

The contrast shower is a simple and convenient way to stimulate vitality and promote detoxification, as well as treat
generalized areas of pain and soreness. This temperature contrast
helps strengthen and normalize the nervous, circulatory, endocrine (hormonal), musculoskeletal and immune systems
and is excellent for helping the body cope with physiological and psychological stress.
