Ice Baths for Beginners: How to Start and What to Expect

Cold water immersion might seem intimidating, but with the right approach, anyone can build resilience and enjoy the benefits. In the UAE’s warm climate, ice baths provide a unique and refreshing way to reset your body and mind.

Step 1: Start Slow

If you’ve never tried an ice bath before, begin with shorter durations and moderate temperatures. 10-15°C is a good starting point, with sessions lasting between 3-5 minutes.

Step 2: Focus on Your Breath

Breath control is key to managing the initial shock. Try slow, deep breaths to activate your parasympathetic nervous system and keep calm in the cold.

Step 3: Create a Routine

Incorporate ice baths 2-3 times a week to experience long-term benefits. UAE residents can enjoy year-round access to ice baths in the comfort of their own homes with SLOMODE’s premium wellness solutions.
