As the weather starts to get warmer, many people start looking for ways to beat the heat. One way you can do this is by taking a cold shower in the morning. Studies show that taking a cold shower every morning will improve your mood and energy levels throughout the day.

By waking up with an invigorating ice-cold blast of water, you’ll be able to enjoy your workday better than before! Although it might seem daunting at first, after just one week of doing so you won't want anything else - guaranteed.

If you're considering giving it a try but think it might be too drastic or extreme, consider easing into this practice gradually by starting with just 5 minutes at first before working up to 10 or 15 minutes total per day over time.

Here’s another easy way to acclimate yourself to cold showers. Start by rinsing with warm water at the end of your shower, then gradually make it cooler until it’s cold. Rinse just your right leg with the cold water, starting on the outside of your ankle. This spot is the furthest from your heart so it will deliver less of a shock to your system.

Work your way gradually up your body, moving to your other leg and then your arms on both sides. Then, rinse your core with cold water. By the time you get to your core and your head, your body will be used to the frigid temperature.

You can also start by turning down the water temperature gradually during your normal shower time so it's not as shocking of an experience when you turn on the tap - although we recommend going all-out and embracing icy mornings!
