COLD SHOWERS: Tutorial & Benefits 

Hey everyone! I made this video a year before my channel really got any attention. I never expected it to get many views haha. This was back when I had MAYBE 30 minutes a day to make videos, including planning, so the production and phrasing is not quite on par with what I try to release nowadays. Looking at it, while I stand by what I said about cold showers, I would certainly phrase it differently. I would try to be more specific about phrases such as "promotes fat loss." I may remake this video at some point! In the meantime, if you're skeptical about any of the claims or hesitant to try cold showers, please consult a physician or medical professional before doing so! You're also very welcome to do your own research. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

im taking cold showers, not for my own health benefits, but because hes so nice and i dont want to let him down

never thought I'd be watching a shower tutorial

He has such a good aura I think he’s a genuine good guy. Good vibes that’s why everyone including me loves him

This man is too precious for this world, we must protect him at all costs

“Helps with depression and anxiety” BET. “Pours liquid nitrogen”

"Don't worry, I'm not naked" My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

I'm not alone. I have now found another person in this world that pretends to fight off the cold water like I do. Today is a good day

Title should be- “You can take a cold shower, my friend.”

"Helps if you mental illnesses, like depression and anxiety" *Puts water to the coldest level*

There's something about a cold shower that makes you forget everything, and it's just you and the cold and nothing else, washing away the dirt of the mind.

I feel like he's secretly an incredible ninja

And today I learned that I had a massive misconception about cold showers. It's meant to be part of your shower routine, not a replacement for it entirely. The only thing that put me off before was thinking I had to commit entirely to a cold shower but if it's something I can do at the end of the actual cleaning part, it seems ideal!

The dislikes are coming from people that are disappointed because they can't see him naked.

He takes a cold showers. Yes, he's a cool friend

Also, to my girls out there: Do NOT take a cold shower when you're on your period! It restricts blood vessels when you need the blood flow to fully cleanse out your lining. So this can cause some clotting which will worsen cramps~ Stick with the heat packs and wait till aunty flo leaves to do this cool cold shower!

Even though I've never met this man I get the vibe that he is my best friend

That one dislike, that guy is pure evil

"don't worry, I am wearing shorts" Everybody: 😠

"Helps if you mental illnesses, like depression and anxiety" **showers on ice cubes**

You seem genuine, and not making shit up. I'm going to try this. On the last 6 months I've lost 80 pounds, and quit a pack a day smoking habit. Now time to gain some muscle and get these last 20 or so pounds off

Hybrid: lets take a shower Me:Woah woah hey...whew is it is it getting hot in here...Whew

"No way am i ever taking a cold shower thats dumb" "It promotes weight loss" "The only showers will forever be cold showers."

"Don't worry, I'm wearing shorts." O...oh, yeah yeah me too. *slowly pulls shorts back up*

How to shower: Step 1- turn on water Step 2- get in tub Step 3- enjoy

He's the most natural person I've ever seen.

"it helps with mental disorders like depression or anxiety" also me: **cries in the shower**

I like this guy's vibe, doesn't try to sound like those tough guys with trap music in the intro and showing off their jawlines or some junk. God bless this man, inspirational in positive manners Got me feeling like 💪😊

I feel like it helps your senses for some reason. Like after getting the shock of the cold water you're now more awake and alert than before.

Cold showers improved my sleeping, my skin doesn't feel dried up, and it makes my hair feel way softer. Best 3 years since I started cold showers.

I find that when I'm feeling a little greasy from a cheat day or a bit bloated, a cold shower definitely helps.

After more than 5 years of taking cold showers throughout the year, here are my observations: 1. Whenever taking cold shower, start with your head first. All the blood rushes to your head and your body becomes alert. Then gradually shower the other body parts. 2. The benefit of starting with your head first is that it regulates the heat in the body and the instant blood rush will help you build resistance against common colds & other cough problems (I haven't had any cold in last couple of years). 3. Don't walk naked after taking a cold shower. Clean your body and wear clothes instantly. Your body starts making heat to regulate the temperature and wearing the clothes helps trap that heat. It'll make your skin glow literally. 4. Don't take cold showers if you're sick. 5. Cold showers are way more better than hot showers. Hot shower always leaves your skin dry and sensitive. Cold showers make your skin strong and healthy. You won't have to invest in tons of moisturizers. 6. Massaging the body with oil before exercising and then taking the shower is a whole different experience. It's a sure shot way to boost your mood and build muscles.

Hey i just want to say that after a breakup I decided to start taking cold showers to "feel" something, with the idea that If I start my day with discomfort it can only get better. I'm happy to say it has helped a lot, it's not magical but it really does wake you up and is a good way to get your mind into a better position. Thanks Hampton ☺️

"Don't worry, I'm not naked" Unsubscribed.

You deserve more subscribers mate, great videos, and great attitude with you viewers

I don’t have anything but cold showers, in winter it helps to not be so cold all the time when either outside or just chilling indoors, normally people are wrapped up in jumpers and I’m hot in shorts 😂 and in the summer it’s just amazing after being in the sun all day to cool down in something super cold. 👌🏼 and I just started doing it one winter a few years ago because I got used to it in the summer so it became a habit. Though people do think I am strange for it 😂 I’ve noticed my heat tolerance has dropped a lot, like when washing up in hot water I just can’t touch it unlike other who can just put there hands in lava water and not be effected at all which is just baffling to me 😂. I guess it’s a two way thing.

"I wasn't expecting it to be cold right off the bat" ???? what world do you live in where the shower starts off hot

“If you’re feeling tired, don’t take a cold shower” *clicks off video*

*Mans talking good points* Comments section: *"He's wearing shorts 😔"*

I’ve experienced a great benefit of cold showers. I do this every morning. Even if I’m tired and you have no underlying health issues for me it’s a great way to wake up and feel more alert during the day. Highly recommend!

He seems like the cool friend I never had.

Hot shower benefits: It feels gooooood

Your positivity is contagious. It really brightens up the day.

This guy is beautiful. His body and his hair, just wow! Flawless

Dont worry I'm not naked I've got shorts. *stands on tip toes and reveals shorts* Bam.

I feel like a lot of people who make videos about fitness are fake and don’t seem like they believe in what they are saying. With that said, you are the first person I actually feel is very real and knows what he is talking about. Keep it up, man!!

“Lets take a shower” Me: Wait what

I have so dry skin that taking warm or hot showers became impossible for me because my skin starts to itch after that, not with cold showers because it's making my skin calm and it doesn't start to itch at all

Love how he doesn't even flex or perfect his script..he's natural to the core 💓

I watch his stories, he's the rarest being on earth👀

Very true! I was just thinking, I wish he really was my friend. I was imagining the benefits of having that kind of influence in my life. In fact, I want to be like him. That way I can be that kind of friend for others.

Don’t take a cold shower when you’re tired Sounds like I can’t ever take cold showers😂

Jesus, the sheer level of good vibes radiating of this man just amazes me

“Don’t worry I’m not naked I am wearing shorts” *well that makes one of us*

Original title: Eren Yeager gives an excuse to show you his abs

Excellent overview of the benefits. It's especially useful as it's succinct, clear, and entertaining. Direct and to the point, rather than taking tons of time. Great job. (But why be “worried” if you were naked? What’s the big deal?)

This guy is so good man lol, straight to the point, good personality, all around good vibes, I like bro💪

He has such a chill vibe, subscribed just for this

I've started taking cold showers three days ago and jesus christ they are amazing, it's helped me be more comfortable trying new activities as it pushed me out of my comfort zone, and especially the blank state where it is just you and the cold, no thoughts, it is really a wonderful meditative state.

My dad has been recommending cold showers for almost a year now, and I haven't really managed to get into it. I would sometimes just put the water in the cool and start hyperventilating, with my whole body under the showerhead. Thanks to you, I can take COLD showers properly, can't wait to try this out!

Jeez he’s such an angel, I can’t remember what he said but I do remember his beautiful face

Hampton is like the brother everyone wishes they had i think

Something about him is just calming and adorable

Just discovered this channel. I LOVE IT. Thank you Hampton for this amazing and encouraging content. What helped me acclimate to cold showers was starting my shower at my usual temperature, lathering up with the water off, then rinsing off with cold water. I would then progressively lower my starting temperature. Granted I live in Florida so in the summer cold showers can still be pretty warm, but once you get used to it there is oddly nothing like a cold shower to start your day.

The most relatable thing about this video is him flinching when the water hits him

Watching you fight cold water and the "I'm not naked, I'm wearing shorts" parts really put a smile on my face and brightened my day! :D

My heterosexuality left me faster then my dad

I love it when you take off your shirt ❤

I'm in Texas. The only time the water is cold is when the air is cold. EDIT: I love how this has gotten more likes and attention than anything on my channel.

Tried this for one minute after my shower today. It actually felt amazing once I got my breathing under control. How did I not know about this?!?

I appreciate the advice tremendously. A hot shower could have the effect of death and i still would not take cold shower

I like this type of uploads, away from all the calesthinics and just teaching us actual life hacks. 👏👏👏

Im not gay but seeing him shirtless in the thumbnail made me click

i just wanna have coffee with the homie. stay the course, you're helping so many

so yeah one of your videos about lower back pain got postet on 9gag and now im here and you gained a new subscriber. greetings from germany :)

Have been doing this for about a month now and Honestly enjoy it! It makes me feel awake and energized and makes the air feel warm afterwards so I'm not shivering in a towel 9/10

I've been doing cold showers for about 9 months now so I'd like to share my experience with it and give some advice... So first i wanna say that for me after doing it for some time it became something I really enjoy (especially after workouts as it helps with muscle recovery) so if you wanna try it dont worry too much if you find it hard or dont enjoy it Also if you plan to start,start SLOW .Dont just hop in a fully cold shower take small steps towards colder temperatures so you feel more comfortable otherwise the chance of you quitting is way higher Preferably start at summer so its even easier... Lastly a thing I've noticed on me is that even though I've been getting colds and suffering from fevers every winter for as long as I remember myself this winter went by with nothing like that happening.Keep in mind though that due to covid and mask wearing social distancing and all that regural flu dont transmit that much so this might have played a role too.Dont take my word for it

Hampton: Let's take a shower Heterosexuality has left the chat

I’m proud to say that this man will be the father of my future children

this dude is too wholesome. I've been taking cold showers for around a year already and it's really awsome how fast you feel the benefits.

I do essentially the same thing. I take a normal hot shower, and then rinse off with cold water for a couple of minutes. It's definitely a good way to wake up, definitely a confidence booster, and you don't feel as cold after getting out. Edit: My shower is small so I just duck into the cold water immediately. Just like he said, take deep breaths and regulate your breathing. I personally find it exhilarating.

I've been doing cold showers for a year and by my experience it's wise that you've included "when not to do" cold showers but I wold suggest: If you are feeling tired a cold shower wakes you up like nothing else but you should change how you do it: Don't try to get to normal breathing, get slightly into hyperventilation with deep frequent breaths, not too short. Try to control yourself, but keep the breating slightly above normal. This will benefit you like nothing else to get a boost in the morning. Also if you are going under the shower, but you are not warmed up by excercises, I suggest you to do the same. But still avoid cold water if you already feel cold. ;) Have a nice day you all! 🙌

I hyperventilate SOOOOOO much when going into the cold water lmao

I've done this for a long time. Here's how I do it. As said previously exercise before this is great, because it not only oxygenates your blood, but it increases your heart rate. Which in turn warms you up from the inside out, making this process a lot easier. Plus when blood circulates fast it makes easier for your body to get accustomed to the temperature changes. First I spend a few minutes under a really warm shower to get accustomed to the water. Also increased heart rate and a really warm shower stores heat in your body. Which will make you feel warm. Then start slowly decreasing the temperature of the water. While standing fully under the shower. Your head regulates 1/5 of your blood and that makes you lose a lot of body heat through it. So start with your head under the shower, whole body if possible, as it makes easier to get used to it. Lower the temperature in phases. As you lower the temperature wait for your body to get used to it first, only after the fact lower it more. As you will feel almost no coldness if you do it slowly enough. Also one of the benefits of the "really" warm shower before a cold one is, that it heats up the room you are in. So when you finally step out of the cold shower you will start to regain the lost body heat faster. Make sure you dry yourself up fast too as you will lose a lot of heat through the water left on your skin.

Hey Hampton thank you for everything you do. You're a great teacher and a wonderful person. I hope you have a great day.

Dont worry I wasn't worried. More disappointed now honestly

Hashirama's giving his very own secrets to us

A couple of tips and things you missed: 1.) take a cold shower in the morning, this will help wake you up and start your metabolism, seeing as your body needs to make energy to warm you back up. 2.) you want to start the shower, not end it cold, and you need to start with it to the max. This is meant to be a shock to your system, almost to reboot it in a way. 3.) if you are a beginner, try and go for as long as you can as opposed to a set time. You can and usually will go longer than you thought you would, which is better, but don't go for too long after your used to it. Other than that, great video! keep on going!

Never thought someone could make me watch a tutorial for showering

When you don’t have hot water in the house so you automatically have to do cold showers daily 🙂

Hybrid: let's take a shower Me: don't have to ask me twice 😆😉

"Don't worry. I am not naked." Girls and boys who are attracted to him: 😔 RU-vid: Good. Keep it that way.

I spent a year in Nepal during which I was often in the mountains staying in hotels with no heat and often no hot water and it was actually quite remarkable how quickly I got used to it. Keep in mind the room was cold, everything was cold, so it wasn’t like the shower was the only cold part. That said though I still love a steaming hot shower. I believe that all the health benefits are true and I will often end my showers cold in the summer. Despite the Nepal experience I just can’t get myself to do it in the winter here in the US though lol.

Dude, you may have the best physique here on RU-vid and I aspire to have a physique like yours… highly functional and optimal body fat percentage with just the right amount of muscle definition.

did i really just click on a tutorial for a cold shower and fully expect it to be him just showing us how to make the temperature cold? yes.

Can we appreciate the fact that how cool he is?

"Dont worry I'm not naked I've got shorts", HAH GOTTE , *doing the helicopter furiously*

"not naked" my disappointment is immeasurable

Ok what I love is that when you see him and his body he looks pretty normal. But when he does the slightest force or any exercise BAM hes ripped!

0:08 my smile just faded
