Has anyone ever tried one? I just tried it out. HOLY HELL was it cold at first, but I perservered and got used to it after about 30 seconds. It actually began to feel warm after a while. I got out and feel awesome now, better than I do after warm showers. Thoughts?

Whenever I shower at the gym, I turn the water as cold as it can get. If I don't, I'm still sweating by the time I get out and go to get dressed. There is an initial shock to the temperature, but I'm adjusted within maybe five seconds, and it just feels good.

Since I do that a lot at the gym, I find I'm able to do the same anytime I shower. I still like warm showers in the morning, but there is something enjoyable about cold showers too. That and, man, do you feel awake afterward!

Every time I work out or have been working outside in yard during the summer. Love cold showers to get cooled down & stop sweating.

I can't bring myself to do it. I have done some jumps/swimming in fridged lakes and stuff and actually felt great after.

No way I could do it a gym shower, I'm already a grower and would become turtle like.
I start the water out luke warm so it's not a huge shock, and then start turning it down until it's cold. Cools my body temp down in minutes.

I just don't have the cajones to do it. I've heard a lot of good things about it, but I just can't.

I'm too much of a pussy I guess.

I take cold showers all the time. I enjoy them. I feel refreshed and ready to go after. Im not sure the medical explanation but i can tell you after a hard work out or a stressful day a cold shower is very relaxing. Welafter the first minute, it takes about that long for me to catch my breath.

Its funny this came up. My hot water heater is less than ten years old. Over the last 4 years i have had to replace the burner assembly prob 7 because the pilot wont stay lit much longer than it takes to heat a tank. I think its the thermo couple that goes out. Anyways its been out for like a week so my wife is always asking me to light the pilot light. She says i dont want to fix it because i like cold showers. She doesnt at all lol.

Cold showers are great.
