Getting the most from it

A simple way to use it

  • Straight after training. Get in the ice bath within 30 minutes of finishing.
  • Contrast rounds. 3 minutes ice bath, 10 minutes sauna. Repeat 2 to 3 rounds. Finish cold to recover, warm to relax.
  • Rest days. 20 to 30 minutes of easy swimming keeps things moving without adding load.
  • Be consistent. Two or three sessions a week makes a noticeable difference within a month or two.
