  • For FAQ about the type of freezer, how to set this up, gear used etc. see pinned first comment. Over the past years I have been experimenting with a lot of different ways to start your day, what works and what doesn’t work. A good morning routine makes you feel in control and this sets the tone for the rest of your day.
    For the first hour of my day I will make it a clear point to NOT get on my phone. Instead I focus every day on meditation, Wim Hof Method inspired deep breathing, journaling, ice baths and a few other routines. This 3 minute video shows the first 30 minutes of my day.
    Full details with benefits about each practice can be found on my blog: extramilest.com/blog/my-mornin...
    ********* SAFETY WARNING - Please don’t do anything stupid. Always make sure to unplug the electricity before going in. Do not do the Wim Hof breathing exercise in water, while driving or in other critical situations. If there is a short loss of consciousness, this can be deadly! Ease into cold exposure and don’t stay in too long. One way to start out is by taking cold showers and transitioning from there to short ice baths. *********
    This is my morning routine for most days of the week, some days I start my routine after my early morning run. Setting aside 30 minutes in the mornings will positively influence the rest of your day. Consistency is key in developing a morning routine that works for you and actually sticking to it. Meditation, deep breathing, gratitude journaling and cold therapy bring me tremendous health benefits, physically, mentally and spiritually.
    If you are developing your own morning routine, I suggest trying different things for several days and asking yourself “how am I currently feeling”? Write down your experiences and use tools like the Fitbit to track body markers such as resting heart rate, sleep stages, etc over time to notice differences. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, start for example with a 5 minutes daily meditation for a week. Be kind to yourself and have fun!
    What morning routine have you used or are you looking to start with? Please let me know in the comments below!

    Thanks for all the positive feedback! Answering FAQ here below: *what ice bath is this and how can I set this up at my home?* This is a deep chest freezer, often used by hunters, fishers and those who store a lot of food. The outside dimensions are 56 inches wide (142 cm) x 27.5 inches wide (70cm) x 35 inches high (89cm). The volume is about 16 cubic feet. The brand I have is Frigidaire. The new price was $650, I paid $229 at a Home Center Tent sale. If you’re interested in buying one, Craigslist is a good option, that’s how I found mine.
    *How to make it waterproof?* You can buy a tube of waterproof silicone to seal and protect the seams. I used 1 tube of silicone along every seam, let it dry for a day, then added a “Flex Seal” white spray as an additional layer of protection.
    *How does the set up work?* This freezer is set up in my garage. It is filled up with water using a garden hose, until about 4 inches (10cm) below the top (so it doesn’t overflow when you get in). I plug in the electricity and after about 48 to 72 hours ice will start to form on the sides of the freezer. The temperature of the water is then close to 32 Fahrenheit (0 Celsius). From there I unplug the electricity. You can already use the ice bath with some ice on the wall. Don’t try to hammer the ice from the wall of the freezer, this will damage it. In less than 1 day the ice will come off the wall. You can either take the blocks of ice out, put it on a towel, hammer it and put it back. Or you can use a hammer and ice pick and hammer the ice blocks in the middle of the ice bath.
    *What temperature is the water?* It’s cold, around the freezing point 32 Fahrenheit (0 Celsius). Depending on how much ice is in the bath and the outside temperature, the ice will stay melted for 4 to 6 days, then the water temperature will increase. You simply plug in the electricity again for 12 to 24 hours and new ice will form again.
    *How and how often do I replace the water?* I replace the water every 2 to 3 weeks, cleaning your feet before you get in helps keep it clean longer. You can either empty the bath with a bucket, or a garden hose that you suck on 1 side to get the water flowing, into my driveway. I use a towel to get last water out from the bottom.

      My father used to ice his feet and didn’t change the water which lead to an infection. It was just a normal cooler tho. Although w the freezer method perhaps the bacteria has a hard time growing because it’s so cold?

    Notice his facial expressions at the end after the ice bath. The surge of energy and euphoria with also a stillness, he looks like someone who's taken MDMA. (The clubbing ravers know what I'm on about) This is someone 100% getting high on there own supply. I'm starting to see this is the way forward for living a full happy life. There isn't a morning after either. The body provides! Fantastic production quality, really sweet with you and your family. Lovely video.

    I am addicted to my morning routine, I start my morning with the WH breathing for 30min, followed by 15min meditation. I then like to do some strength yoga before jumping into my cold swimming pool. We are going into winter here in South Africa so the pool gets colder everyday. When summer returns I will need to arrange some ice for my bath but for now the pool is cold enough. It’s always the hardest part getting myself to actually jump into the pool, but once I am in, I also start to feel that feeling of calm. My entire body is awakened and I feel present and alive. I have missed one or two days of this practice and I feel terrible for the entire day. I need my morning routine to function at my best. This fits in beautifully with my mindful living.

      I’d recommend drinking a glass of water before you go to sleep. It helps me to get out of bed and start my day because I don’t have a choice I have to pee! Haha also if you have windows leave the curtains open so the light fills your room. It definitely helps to set a routine for yourself. For example get up set the kettle on, bathroom business, have your cup of tea outside, stretch then cold bath or shower. You’ll get used to it after a month or so and it will no longer be a struggle! Hope this helped!

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  4 года назад +1

      Hi DrakE, this is a deep chest freezer, often used by hunters, fishers and those who store a lot of food. The outside dimensions are 56 inches wide (142 cm) x 27.5 inches wide (70cm) x 35 inches high (89cm). The volume is about 16 cubic feet. The brand I have is Frigidaire. The new price was $650, I paid $229 at a Home Center Tent sale. If you’re interested in buying one, Craigslist or a local marketplace is a good option, that’s how I found mine.
      I added more details about this exact setup, making it water proof, replacing the water, etc. See first comment, pinned to the top. Hope that helps. Cheers

    While watching it, I keep worrying about that lid falling down, trapping you in the ice bath while your family is sleeping. Hopefully you have an escape hatch. Also I hope its very locked/protected from curious children. Call me a worry wart, but it is from my 14+ years of working in the toy industry and finding out how accidents happen so easily and unexpectedly.
    My ice baths are only after 10+ mile runs and don't include getting my upper body wet. I'm probably missing a lot of the healing and meditation benefits.

      I’ve tested the lid of the freezer a lot, it’s very stable and stays up. I’m typically go only under the ice for a few seconds and have my phone or hammer on the side of the bath so it can’t close completely. Appreciate your comment 🙏

      Pain is normal, in areas with an abundance of nerves. When you're over-sensitive you have to work your towards ice from decreasing temp while showering for example. To transform that threshold. Balls are very vulnerable and constantly "warm". If oyu expose them for the first time it hurts, but soon gets overshadowed by the sensations on the rest of the body, so you don't feel it that intense.
      When I get into a lake in winter my balls and head hurt a lot. But it goes away with training and breathing. I don't have any infections in this areas. It stops after seconds of embracing the cold.
      An infection...the internet is infected with stupidity. Next time you want to help, pls delete your account!
