The Ultimate Chest Freezer Cold Plunge DIY Guide


Book Description

Regular cold-water immersion can improve your physical health and emotional well-being. Whether you are an elite athlete, a bio-hacker, a health and fitness enthusiast, or someone who is trying to reboot your immune system, cold water might be the missing piece to enhance your results. However, if you live in a warm climate, what options do you have? Cold showers are a good place to start, but do not provide consistent temperatures year-round, and most people find them to be uncomfortable at best. Buying and hauling ice gets expensive and takes a lot of time. Cryotherapy chambers are inconvenient and expensive. Commercially built cold plunges can cost several thousand - or tens of thousands - of dollars. So, what is a great solution for the average person? Convert a chest freezer into a cold plunge!
