For the past few years, Alpha has seen tons of content about the benefits of freezing cold showers. He always thought, "Hell no." Then a fellow content creator brought up the topic. In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro says that he tested this theory after he got some info.
Cold Showers Claims
1. Boosts immune system
2. Fights depression
3. Reduces muscle soreness from exercise
4. Helps you to deal better with stress
5. Increased alertness
6. Burn fat
7. Improves your sleep
8. Increased testosterone level
9. Increased sperm count & mobility
10. Makes your hair and skin look better
He's taken cold showers for the last 5 days, and he concludes that they SUCK. He loves his hot showers! He's not buying the claim and thinks it may be a placebo effect. You may benefit, however. What do you think? What benefit do you see? - Jak na to + styl
My reasons for taking cold showers are:
1. It wakes me up no matter how tired I am
2. I feel like a god afterwards
3. I don't spend as much time showering, because it's cold af
Edit: After a while I think it also helped me build willpower and self-discipline. Not to a great extent, but it probably had some significance.
Propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels exactly. saves water. which saves money haha
Haha never thought of it that way.
Propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels BEST COMMENT HERE!!
The cold is not so much of a problem because you get used to it after while , at least for me

Thank you
Sayan Chatterjee Gas bills
Sayan Chatterjee if you shower with warm water it is more expensive than with cold water (in most cases) also you are less time in the shower meaning smaller water bill
You forgot one more benefit, it also helps to reduce the electricity bill.
aymen opa and the water bill too 😁
But there is more potential for saving money and increase your health at the same time. Don't use chemicals like shampoo etc.
Depending on your individual variables like shower time, temperature, volume and price of shampoo, water and heat you can reduce your shower bill from over 2 bugs to less than 20 cents or so.
Happy cold 🚿
@@bigboibugg3288 bro you should only use shampoo like twice a week it's bad for you're hair

Facts
Turns out ur a girl
cold showers have a psychological benefit of forcing yourself into an uncomfortable situation. the more you get used to forcing yourself into these situations the better you will get at it in real life. for example if you want to approach a girl but feel nervous, making that first move can feel a lot like taking a cold shower. the more you get used to this mindset it will help you in overcoming a lot of things
Manny Singh This alone is worth doing it. Getting uncomfortable is a great way to grow as a person.
Yeah, if you wait until jumping into a cold shower you get nervous like if you are hesitating to walk up to a girl. The better you become at jumping into the cold horrible shower without thinking about it, will make you react the same in other areas of your life!
lol you crazy people
+Manny Singh - Doesn't work like that kid. Taking cold showers will make you better at taking cold showers. Not talking to girls. Y'know what makes you better at talking to girls? I'll give you a hint: it rhymes with "hocking poo curls"
Nah, it is true. Monks doing this for hundreds of years for the exact same reason. Forcing yourself into uncomfortable situations can help you in dealing other (uncomfortable) situations better.
For example: I did it now for 1 year and it helped me a lot. No dry skin anymore, haven't got sick for 10 months, I pay less for the water bills and I really sleep better than before. The sleeping part is the best one because when I get up in the morning I actually slept less than before but better and therefor I'm not tired after waking up at 5:00 am (I shower cold twice a day. In the morning and after the workout).

HELL YEAH, BITCHES!! get out of your comfort zones
I take cold showers every single day for about 2 years, now going through my second winter, no "phasing in" BS, straight into freezing water for several minutes. And I must say, I certainly notice some of those benefits, but I couldn't care less about them. Saying that "cold showers suck" is redundant. Nobody enjoys cold showers, it never gets any easier, your body never gets used to it and that's precisely the point. Exposing yourself daily to an extremely uncomfortable situation willingly, having the option to end it at any time by the turn of a knob, but choosing not to do it, is the most effective balls builder ever conceived. After a couple of years of such routine any notion of comfort zone is gone, you simply don't give a fuck about stuff anymore. All those benefits are great, but I take cold showers for what they are: a workout for the mind. And that's why I recommend it. =)
I got used to it in less tham a week, I finished the "30 day challenge" and still do it because I genuinely like it. I don't relate to anything you say.
Fresh Rock Papa-E agreed, i love taking cold showers. Got used to it really quick and it was never hard for me

Cute parable, but 100% bullshit. Building a tolerance to the sting of cold water does not translate into anything that doesn't involve tolerating the sting of cold temperature. It doesn't make you more confident. It doesn't help you handle tough situations, talk to girls, or be direct with people. It doesn't make you a brave soldier. It doesn't give you the confidence to score the final touchdown. It doesn't make you a more commanding person. It doesn't help you overcome doubts or fears. It doesn't increase your pain tolerance.
Taking cold showers makes you better at taking cold showers. Just like juggling makes you better at juggling, and not at archery, rock climbing, or talking to chicks.
Scott K Yep. Can confirm. It does make you feel like a badass though, and that might boost your confidence.
Scott K Are you the kind of person that can only conceive direct benefits? My point being that a lot of activities like going to the gym, sports, playing videogames, taking cold showers, have rippling indirect effects in your life too.
I am 64 years of age and been taking cold showers since 16yrs of age. It has a lot of benefits to this! I am stronger than most 64-year-olds and don't show my age. Overall health is great! I will keep this up till they put the last nail on my coffen...having great days.

COLD SHOWER MAKES ME ACTIVE ,BUT HOT SHOWER MAKES ME LAZY....🛀
Ive been taking cold showers for the past 2 weeks and for me there are dramatic and tangible benefits so I’ll list them here
-I can now wake up at 5:30am and stay awake and super alert because of a cold shower first thing. Makes me more productive
-My body temperature is now more regulated. I used to feel cold all the time but now I’m able to generate my own body heat internally
-There is a meditative effect in a cold shower (few to no thoughts) compared to hot, feeling of being in the zone all day
-My level of procrastination went way down. Somehow I’m more disciplined without trying. Now I’m looking to be productive all waking hours and this is a very stark and noticeable thing for me (because before I was a professional procrastinator and it feels different now). I have started to feel a just do it attitude and just take the plunge into tasks without hesitating. I can deal with the stress of going through difficult situations better
-My skin looks better. I have chicken skin or keratosis Pilaris on my arms and it has disappeared in 2 weeks. I also stopped wearing foundation on my face because my tone is more even
-I smell less! Don’t need as much deodorant throughout the day. Even without deodorant I don’t smell much. Before, it was never like this!
-Relieves muscle soreness. I recover very well from martial arts stick fighting after taking cold showers (just started drills and was afraid I would be super sore the next day but it never happened!)
I have both anxiety and depression and I can say that there is a difference in the way I feel because my anxious compulsive thoughts have lessened but I’ll have to give it more time to make a real determination . Lastly the placebo effect is dismissed as something stupid and worthless but it is the power of one’s own mind which is above any of these things...
Firstly; how does this comment not have more likes bruh u basically wrote an essay 😂
Secondly; thanks for sharing this it’s made me wanna take cold showers as I do have mild mental health issues so I’m gonna test it out for the next few days. Fair play dude 👍🙂
Thank you for this.

Question....had you heard about these expected benefits before you started doing it?

I been taking cold showers for years. I recommend them to anyone who doesn't have a heart condition. They improved my life. It's extremely tough at first and you likely won't be able to with stand it for more than 2 seconds, but do it every day and gradually increase your time. I adapted extremely fast. I noticed massive improvements in my tolerance from a day to day basis. I went from not being able to stand in there for more than 5 seconds to doing 10min like it's nothing in the matter of weeks.
My favorite part about it was the feeling you get after taking them. You get an immense amount of energy and you feel amazing after it. Picture drinking 10 cups of coffee, but without the jitters and negative side effects.
My first time intentionally taking a cold shower I got my phone, blasted Death Metal (Dethklok - Face Fisted) and went straight in cold. It was hell at first but after 1 minute, I felt so warm. It was the warmest I felt all day. I felt like I could last for an hour but I had to go to my college campus soon since I took the cold shower in the early morning (4-5am) so I got out after I decided I washed myself thoroughly enough and when I got out I was really warm when usually I'm cold after getting out of a warm shower.
My inspiration came from the Yes Theory video of the "Ice Man" or Wim Hof.
And for how many minutes you have to take a cold shower?

It's a boost for your everyday motivation. Because if you do a cold shower, you are choosing the harder way, not the easier. And as soon as you complete the harder way, you feel stronger, and more motivated.

Distance zDelta should just go warm/cool water cause I don't think going super cold for a shower is that different. I think it is more of a placebo but there are some benefits such as stress management and alertness, like a jumpstart. also humans used to bathe in cool water all the time before modern plumbing.

Recently started on cold shower amazing results so far and it’s so much more enjoyable. I haven’t gone full cold yet but I started with middle setting then slowly moving the tap towards the coldest setting, as of today after 2 cold showers in 25% away from the coldest setting. That last 25% is ICE cold but I’m slowly getting there !
When i use tiege hanley under the cold shower the water turns hot while still giving me the benefits of the cold.

🤔Personally I have taken cold showers (not every day) fairly often since I was about 15 and I know test that when I was more consistent it helped with acne and wrinkles ( I have a fear of getting old; sue me). I don’t know if there is any research done on the acne thing, but I definitely feel good after doing it.👍🏽
At least 2 to 3 times per week for about 3 years🥶
Well after my 5 days of having them I can honestly say they are THE best thing that I have EVER done in my life. The hype is real
I take cold showers everyday but earlier I used to take hot showers and had dry skin but now the problwm is solved. It really freshens up us more and makes us less lazy throughout the day. When you take cold shower you actually fell that you are working and moving faster and more aware
thats so true man same
But using tiege Hanley instead of cold showers would make them results 50 times better

I've been taking cold showers for about 2 years now I must say that they definitely help with alertness and stress. I personally take a normal shower for about 5 to 10 minutes. Once I've washed my body I will turn the temperature down all of the way immediately. I force myself to stand there and I gasp. The longest I've stood in the ice cold water was about 15 minutes and by that time the water does not feel cold anymore but feels lukewarm. That's how you know your brown fat really kicked in and warmed you up. If you want to step up from the cold shower, just take a ice-cold bath for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Under supervision of course. Then you'll be a real alpha male.
I’ve done this for about 2 weeks now. I can confirm that makes your body so much better when going to bed and feel it also makes you feel more energetic and awake. Also due to it being so cold you feel the need to get out quickly and not take too long, because of this I save a bit more time in the mornings.
I took cold showers and did no Fap for two years and all that discipline got me to the point where I trained enough to run a 4.55 minute mile, bench press 185 lbs, and squat 275 lbs. I had straight A+'s in all my classes, i learned to become a great guitar player, and my confidence was so high that any girl I wanted just naturally gravitated my way. However it took a toll on my body and when I was going into a semi pro soccer team, my lower nerves gave out. I lost my ability to walk for a week and lost my chance to go pro. The body can only take so much. But now I am starting over, still starting to do No Fap and Cold Showers, feeling like a beast. But I won't push myself to a breaking point again. When you take cold showers and do No Fap you find yourself with much more time to work on yourself as a person, and also it takes a TON of discipline to stick with it for the Long run, and when you find yourself being disciplined in the hard things anything else becomes a breeze.
Diaz CZ what the fuck.

Hi - I went to a small college that asked it's students to take cold baths/showers morning and before bed at night every single day. Why at this college is a completely different topic, but over a 4 year period, people rarely got sick or got colds, so the whole health auto immune system thing I can vouch for from experience. People also slept much better too. Thanks for the video.
Cold showers always wake me up and I feel really good about myself throughout the day. Would recommend!

*old PC*
Was inspired to take cold showers for 90 days and now it's become a lifestyle. 3 main benefits i've learned:
1. I get an instant energy boost and feel great throughout the morning. my body regulates to the temperature of the room and I feel more relaxed.
2. I expand my comfort zone making obstacles throughout the day easier to overcome. This is essential to self actualizing and fulfilling your potential in life.
3. I now have a new "friendly" relationship with the cold.. cold outdoor temperatures that used to bother me is now comfortable for me. I see it as a way to continue growing and expanding my comfort zone.
.. there are way more benefits I've heard of such as fat loss, reduced inflammation, more testosterone for men but I haven't done too much research into those. just these 3 benefits alone are enough reason for me to make this a lifestyle.
... I'll prob take Wim Hof's course in the near future. Has anyone on here gone through his course?
Cold showers make my hair and skin noticeably more bouncy/hydrated. And when I get out of the shower I’m in a great mood for a good 5 min then I return to normal. And it definitely wakes me up and helps with eye bags. That’s it so far but it’s only been 3 days lol the 3rd day already isn’t as bad as the first so we’ll see.
Update?
Been taking cold showers for nearly 2 years. Hot showers used to dry out my skin and I could see the damage it was doing with acne and broken skin. Switching to cold showers has genuinely provided me with so many benefits. So much less acne and I have a lot more motivation and energy every day. It's harder to tell with stress, but I have become a much more relaxed person, though it may be due to age and maturity rather than the cold showers.

Been doing it for a week since I saw it in TMF's video. Benefits I ACTUALLY see, rather than placebo effects:
1. Feel like a super saiyan for about 10-15 mins after the shower. Very energetic, randomly singing, dancing around and being silly.
2. Dry skin on my legs is noticeably better
3. I just psychologically feel like a badass. I can tell myself I did something 99% of guys don't do. It's a ittle confidence boost ;)
Here's my experience with cold showers:
I started taking cold showers in spring, which was quite cold. The first couple of days I didn't notice anything but I still felt good. After about a week I noticed my sleeping had significantly improved. I was able to fall a sleep in about twenty to thirty minutes, which for me was great. I also noticed how it became easier to take cold showers and I could take them longer than before. The cold showers did leave me with a sore throat twice within the first to months, but I still feel stronger than I did before.
Flash forward a couple of months and here I am now. At the moment it is easy taking cold showers because it's quite hot outside. What it will be like in winter is something I still have to experience. I've noticed improved energy, more body hair which to me shows an increase of testosterone, better sleep and a feeling of accomplishment after I take a cold shower. I don't think it has improved me a lot mentally though. I don't feel an increase of confidence, or other mental benefits. I do feel good about taking them though and all in all I'd suggest taking cold showers, because it still leaves you with a good feeling and health benefits. Also, it's a great refreshment and when you're worrying or you have a lot of stress, it's a great refreshment. If anyone's interested, please leave a comment and I'll post updates when asked for.
When i started year ago i went full YOLO starting from chest and working my way around whole body. Within a week I found out how to be careful on the top of my head and throat. Then sadly my motivation went to **** and i stopped for 4 months. By that time it was pretty cold, so I used "half" cold water. Now again on full ice cold!!!
First thing I noticed was my skin and hair. Although I suffer from acne, it became lot better and my skin is no longer dry and itchy. Second thing was my immunity. I was not ill since second start. Now I take cold showers in the morning and after working out (2-3-4 hours before sleep). Feeling great!!!
Michal Kubík good to hear! And I have acne as well, but when I started it wasn't real bad and it is better now. It's not completely gone, but I guess it won't go away that easily. About the sore throat part, if that is all I don't mind. I don't know about if my immunity has become better, I think I need to test that over a longer period, but I feel healthy and that's good.
I know where my biggest cause of acne lies. I ve got some serious mental blocks for food since youth, but i think that cold showers are helping my will to overcome them. I slowly, but surely make progress. Now I am trying to get prepared for next winter so I can go full ice man :D Keep on showering and let the cold be with you Luk.. i mean buddy :D
Michal Kubík hahaha, good luck to you too mate

+LeMan Booker
Yes your god damn right it is
Is it just me or you didnt even read my comment ? Does breast feeding an ELEVEN year-old boy sound logical to you ? It's obviously an exaggeration by him, but ( speaking of logic ) to think that anyone would actually disagree with a comment like that just to show their stupid beliefs really puts me in a tough spot here. Come on dude , i'm losing my faith ...
xJack.Kellyx go away fucking vegan

My doctor actually suggested cold showers because of the nature of my anxiety disorder a few years ago. The cold shower absolutely does help, but the anxiety relief doesn't seem to last too long. I guess you gotta do it every day. I feel that the cold shower is more like a short relief period. I'll take what I can get.
It helps me to step out of my comfort zone in different situations because cold is not comfortable
i use to take very cold shower before going to school and i use to feel like jack of titanic movie......
You mean like you died in a terrible boating accident?
Chief Enumclaw i use to feel how jack was feeling before dying....
ie..freezing to death feeling...
i use to jump for a while after opening the shower and think about jack of titanic and how he must be feeling before dying ...

I’ve been taking cold showers for a bit under a week now. The main thing I’ve noticed is that I’m a lot more awake once I take one (which really helps with school and exams). A really strange thing I found though, is that I’m a lot more relaxed once I get out. Like with a hot shower, your relaxed in the shower, and with a cold shower, well it’s not the most relaxing thing ever. But I’ve noticed I’m more relaxed for a short time after taking a cold shower which is cool
“Because I was cold this morning” hahahaha man that really made me lol in real life 😂
let me save you 10 min:
1) Don't take cold showers
2) Use Tiege Hanley

lmao.
Vincent what do you think he was gonna say??
i feel like he said slmething like "i am not depressed soo.. i dont need that pseudo science bullshit"
I take a shower once a day always in the morning and sometimes twice in a day... those days I have 2 showers is normally when I have a really busy day, or when I exercise on the end of the day. So I take cold shower in the morning then At night a little bit hot but not to much so it would relax my body and mind...
I don't know how much stock I put into the physical benefits, but it's definitely beneficial mentally. I have depression and anxiety and it's incredibly effective. That 3-5 minutes of cold water is easily equivalent to a 20-30 minute meditation session, and, more importantly, it's 100% foolproof. The quality of your meditations can vary, some days you're so stressed and distracted you just can't get there at all. Cold showers always work. Monks and even regular people used to use cold water therapy like this all the time, and many still do today, often in groups outdoors, though it is less commonplace than it once was. A lot of the reason it sounds strange to us is because we come from a western culture without a history of cold water therapy, and a western culture that is post-puritan at that. We've largely rebelled against the kind of asceticism the puritans espoused and are negatively predisposed to something like this. We don't like to be uncomfortable ever, if we can avoid it, and we like to pamper ourselves. Meditation was looked at very dismissively until the last decade or two for similar reasons. If you want to fix a broken mind, look to The East, because The West hasn't got a goddamn clue what it's doing in that regard.
I laughed so hard everytime he said What the F**K😂😂

Bruno Martins 😂
Bruno Martins Did you have a bad day, sir?
Who hurt you?
Can you explain like what you did? Did you use cold water the whole time or did you gradually change it like he stated? I'm interested in trying this out
I found your channel few days ago and since then I watched every single video of yours. You're amazing Alpha!! :)
It helps me out .
For one it has helped my arthritis in both knees and hips ; no more stiffness and I haven’t taken arthritis meds in 6 months . Plus changed my diet with steamed fish and veggies
Only thing a cold shower gives me is a tiny sack
Mike Arredondo this is a blessing for some blokes, excess skin and shit

TRON yes

TRON Son, you shouldn't be telling about our little secret to other people.
Been taking cold showers for about 10 days now, honestly it feels great. The first minute you just scream your lungs out but after awhile it's refreshing and helps you feel more awake.
I even feel more relaxed after a cold shower.
tiege handly has helped my skin so much. gonna start my cold showers today
As an engineer it also strikes me that one should save a significant amount on ones gas or electricity bill by not using hot water in your showers. To heat the water requires a significant amount of energy and I would estimate it would be at least half of any household gas bill/ a significant portion of electric bill ( if you have an electric hot water heater).
Surprised this perk didn't make the list considering how quantifiable and significant it is.
Hunter Newberry ranges and HVAC generally use way more energy than an electric hot water heater
Hunter Newberry Hahaha does it's really take an engineer to know that not using hot water will save electricity?
Elictricity is so cheap where I live anyways. I will probably save 1$/month. So saving money is definitely not a reason for taking cold showers when there are so many other benefits
I feel like its common knowledge to know that having cold showers would save money on hot water... I don't think you need a degree to be able to say that
i take cold showers for the adrenaline rush, try to just flip the cold water switch on and not phase from hot to cold. it's a different feeling. like so he sees
sounds action packed.
can be dangerous, can send you into shock. also terrible for your heart
I’ve done this and it was insane lol
J bast It is not terrible for your heart. What are you talking about?!
Like a fhucking psychopat
There was some arctic explorer who made his men go outside in the morning and give him an estimate of what the temperature was. The closest guesser got some sort of prize. They all thought it was to teach them the skill of being able to estimate temperature and danger levels, but in his journal he wrote that the only reason he had them go outside in the morning was to wake them up from the cold air. He found that cold air early in the morning made his crew more agreeable and less prone to arguing with eachother.
I’ve been doing it for months and my skin isn’t dry and I’ve been getting less nerve pain so I guess it’s cool
I don't take showers much often because i use tiege hanley😂😂😂😂😂
Who told you man
Cold Showers are for warriors
Frickin hot is as well I believe
I religiously do the dry sauna after my workout every time I hit the gym. In fact I might even get my workout with bands in the sauna. In between sets I take a 30 sec cold show and since it's winter here in NJ the water is icy. Last shower of the night is also with COLD water. That's about 1-4 times a week. I feel that I am sicker less during a full year (cold and cough only 1-2 times a year as opposed to the average 3-4 times for everybody). Perhaps the tautness of my skin is better so cosmetically in my old age I might have less wrinkles. I am 42 now. Perhaps my circadian rhythm is also better for it. But I don't feel like I'm superman or anything. So there's that. Thanks for the video brother!!
The most refreshing thing after a great workout and or right before your ready to go out on a really hot day.
