i do also could plunges and i would recommend to go full in so the neck is in the cold too and just the head pops out to get the full benefits and the brown fett on the neck also try to go with your hands under the arm pits first and do it like that a couple of plunges und then start to move them away from the body and try to adept and get stronger with your hands in the could. i can just recommend it i got alot of benifits from it i can swimm in the ice water without my hands to hurt and when i come out of the frozen lake my hands and feet get very fast warm i feel like superhumen now after many cold plunges and especilly after i worked on my hands. good job to keep the new guy calm that was good guiding from you keep going and what i said it is just suggestions do it like you want it allways follow your feeling :)

For this one, about 8 minutes. The winds was so chilly! We do 5-15 minutes depending of how we feel :)
