1. Start Gradually
Cold exposure doesn't need to be an extreme experience. Begin with short 30–60 second plunges at a temperature of around 10–15°C. As your body adjusts, you can gradually lower the temperature and extend your time in the plunge. ICY's precise temperature control ensures a comfortable start.
2. Breathe Calmly
The first few seconds may feel intense — that’s completely normal. Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale gently through your mouth. Deep, steady breathing helps your body relax and reduces the initial shock response. Focus on calm, controlled exhales to settle both body and mind.
3. Stay Relaxed, Keep Gently Moving
You can stay still in the plunge or move your arms and legs gently. The key is to maintain a good posture and peace of mind. ICY's ergonomic design supports your body and makes the experience more comfortable.
4. Warm Up Gradually
After getting out of the cold plunge, your core temperature may continue to drop briefly. Dry off thoroughly and move to a warm environment. Avoid jumping straight into a hot shower or sauna – let your body warm up naturally or use warm clothing.
5. Listen to Your Body
Everyone reacts to cold differently. Start slow and increase your exposure gradually. Long-term well-being comes from consistency, not a single session.
