Cold showers aren’t sufficient?
Like the cold shower, I think the effect is best when its not affecting your body tperature too much. When my commute went from 20 to 45 minutes, insulation became necessary and the pleasant effect was not enhanced.
Sounds like you guys need to start doing the wim hof method :) you actually start to appreciate the cold
get very cold and take a hot shower, that's real discomfort :)
If you don't live near cold water, I find that taking an ice-cold shower has a similar physiological effect.
most people don't live in -20C conditions. this comment seems painfully obtuse
It's pretty easy to start cold if you've just done a huge amount of cardio, otherwise there's nothing wrong with just turning off the hot water completely during a shower if you want a brief cold period.
You could also … try and take a cold shower
Would probably suffer hypothermia in that case.
Cold showers work really well to bring your body temperature down.
