The Keep:Icy Springs

How long should my cold showers be?
5-15 Minutes of cold water is a good time to aim for.

What's the trick?
There is no trick to it, it will be uncomfortable to endure. You need to accept this, the more you procrastinate the worse the experience will become for you. Simply walk into the shower and turn on the cold water, experience the discomfort.

Can I take a warm/hot shower and then switch to cold water?
Definantly! This is a good starting point, however eventually you should be aiming to switch entirely to cold water.

What do I do in the shower?
Breathe deeply, focus on the feeling of the cold water rushing onto your body.

Won't I get hypothermia?
People can avoid hypothermia for up to thirty to sixty minutes. Your shower is not as cold as a frozen lake and you won't even get close to hypothermia. You can handle five minutes of being cold. If needed have a heater or blanket waiting for you afterwards.
