Water temp about 34 degrees today March 9th in Pottstown PA. Mitch, Jeremy, Tom, Stephen, Ron, and myself (Brandon ) jump into the water. Today’s conversation was around the warm spring weather and what we do when we’re t first hits 70 degrees outside.

Ron and Brandon have a conversation about that first 60 seconds of cold plunging being the worst part of the experience and how it’s so easy to give up unless you have others around you who have already been through that discomfort. When we are part of a community we get to help each other through the hard parts and remind each other that there is hope for the future!

Is it better to get a moment of relief from your pain just to go back to that same pain? or better not to experience the relief at all? This was the topic of conversation in today’s cold plunge conversation! Special shout out to Shawn who joined us this morning for the first time!

This morning, we cold plunge.

My sister in law has been struggling with vertigo for a few months now and is curious if cold plunging might help. In doing some research it doesn’t seem like many studies have been done around vertigo and cold plunging although people say it might not be a good idea. Data - air temp 15 degrees F - water temp 33 degrees F - Ice thickness 3”

Two morning rituals clash in an epic battle over our core body temperature. Today we experimented to see how drinking something hot affects us as we cold plunge. The hardest part was remembering to take a sip!

Eli, Ron, and Mitch chat through some of the sweet perks of their jobs, from working from home to extra time off, companies do a variety of things to keep employees happy!

Most of us wear neoprene booties for our cold plunging. A couple guys also have neoprene gloves. Does this take away from the benefits of cold plunging? Well, it depends…

Mitch, Brandon, Elli, and Ron talk this morning about living a pure life and what that means to us as followers of Jesus. Ice was about 3” thick this morning and air temperature was about 20 degrees.
