I Ice Bathed Every Day for 30 Days…Here's What Happened 

Of course I fit in an ice bath DURING a music video

In Finland quite a few people do winter bathing (essentially, cut a hole in the ice and hop in), however you generally go into a sauna afterwards to heat back up.

As someone who was recently told by my dentist that I unbeknownst clench my jaw while I sleep, I would definitely be interested in a video about the subject.

That was impressive to say the least. I am not an expert, but the hand challenges sound a bit like Raynaud's Syndrome which causes blood vessels in the hands to constrict and cause numbness - even when it is just cold outside.

It would be cool ( ;) )to get updates on how your circulation improves. Awesome video!

I’m in Canada, and I have a winter dog, so we go out every day rain or shine, and it hits -50 C, like it’s fricken cold. The beginning of winter kind of hurts, like the air hurts and it rips through your jacket and it just sucks to go outside at like 0 C. At -10 there definitely is a mindset shift and you remember how winter mode works, and it totally stops hurting your face and hands. You get a feel for how much cold your skin can be exposed to before it actually starts to be damaged, and then you can handle snow and stuff in your bare hands and it’s totally tolerable. You don’t feel the bone deep cold from the start of winter anymore, like it’s there, but you’re focused on doing stuff, and you kind of forget about it, and you realize later it wasn’t even uncomfortable, you were just focused on doing stuff and having fun. You have to be careful, frostbite is no joke, it happens super fast and you have to be careful, but I’d compare it to learning to cook. After you know how not to get burned, you can use your hands to put things into hot pans, and you handle hot things quickly enough not to get burned. You kind of get tougher but it’s more about know how. Then one day the temps pop back up to 0 C and you literally go out in your t shirt because the coat is annoying and it feels positively balmy lolol. It’s awesome, it feels like a superpower to be able to enjoy a beautiful day at horrible temperatures and shrug off the cold. Plus hot chocolate hits different after. This has been my most Canadian youtube comment.

I actually do shiver when I'm super stressed. Pretty sure it's from the adrenaline. When I have to do a public performance it occasionally happens and in times of super high emotional stress I shiver.

Excited to see what art you make with your plastics bags 😂

I did not know you're a big fitness person! I've only seen your art project videos so when I clicked into this I was like "damn! She is JACKED" and then you mentioned cycling 20miles and i was like "oh, okay"

I have that shivering response after an adrenaline event... sometimes its an unconscious shiver and sometimes I force the shivering. I know understand why!

The thing is if you DID have a fever, I would expect you to do the ice bath even more. Our goal in the ED (emergency department) is always to reduce the fever usually with Tylenol and while people thing they are freezing (B/c the air temp is now so much colder than their feverish body temps) it is not recommended to cover the person up with a ton of blankets b/c despite the shivering they aren't actually cold, they are TOO HOT. I still say take Tylenol if you do have a fever but an ice bath wouldn't be bad either so long as you don't drop your core temp too low.

Thank you Ali! This was very informative. I’m very curious as to how well this works for people with high blood pressure.

when you asked braxton if he liked the me-flavoured water 🤣😂 Guess you saw Disenchantment too 😉

All my life is full of experiment I don't freakout to try a new ways of doing something people are scared to do .love your way .Thank you you make me keep going in my life stayle😊

how long did braxton last in the plunge?

instead of a straw, get a snorkel

Behind the bastards podcast did a video on wim hof, and it seems quite a lot of his claims are false unfortunately, including many of his world records.They're the same misinformation that's passed around by everyone including news sources. It should also be noted that a handfull of people died doing this by also doing his breathing exercises prior to it. It's a 2 parter podcast covering his very bizzare fascinating life including what he accomplished

Are you keeping up with the ice bathes?

The shivering part sounds interesting. I actually get it a few times a week, especially when I'm coming out of high stress

So weird to see you in a jumper 😂

What's cooler than being cool Ali? ... ICE COLD! #Outkast

As a fellow 'cold hands' sufferer, I would love to know how this has affected your ability to keep your hands warm (after prolonged/long term use of the ice baths). having said that. even if you say it has completely cured your cold hands, idk if I would have the courage to do the ice baths! 🙂

Cool video! I feel that a mini freezer and a stack of ice trays would cost less time, effort, waste and money than daily trips to buy ice. Less money, but not quite...FREEze!

My guess is that your "furnace" is taking a while to turn on because you don't have much white fat to convert to brown fat. Also, according to Huberman, it's best to plunge first and then exercise. Testosterone increases when doing this. If you exercise and then plunge it's good for recovery but not for building muscle. Supposedly if you wait four hours after working out you can plunge and it won't affect muscle building.

I’ve been wondering about this, but with so many people on the ice bath train it seems more like a fad. Your video definitely makes me rethink it!

Why does Ali have so many different bikinis and so few socks without holes?😉👋

Thanks for explaining the benefits of cold plunging!

Interesting to watch. 👍 I tried this for two years when the pandemic hit. It helped a lot with my stress. But.. a week or something ago there was released the result of a big study that said that there are no benefits of this, so be aware if you try it. There’s many thoughts about this. 🤗 (And I guess… we started to use fire and clothes for reasons. To keep us warm. So… 😊) By the way, if you haven’t tried it: Snowbathing, or just to take a short barefoot walk in the snow. Feels great!

If your cold after it might be that you don’t have enough fat to keep you warm it happens to me all the time cause I have a fast matabalism

Fellow T1D here, I've been doing the cold showers thing. I'd be really interested in updates on your progress. For your cold hands wim hof has a protocol for that in his book

I would not ice bathe without a sauna ready for me. I did a session at the Sea Pools in Helsinki in February, and it is amazing how good I felt after.

Cliff notes she turned into a pop sickle!

You definitely looked super ripped in the wrap up portion!

i freeze 16 bottles of water and use over and over

Ps. Your hair and skin improved too.

Did it help with muscle soreness after your bike ride ?

does this work with cold showers?

I threw my back out really really bad recently (you know the way that there’s no good position) and I made the room as cold as I could and rotated a vibrating hot pad and ice packs. I did get the shivers and it was the only time I could fall asleep. The vibrations of the heating pad were pretty great too. I wonder if that’s why cats purr when they are hurt…

Man, I wish ice baths would calm down inflation. I’ve been doing ice baths for months and my groceries are still expensive.

You are such an inspiration!

14:17 I'm mansplaining this thought about that kind of shivering benefits, The animals tens up, adrenalin rushing through their bodies. They flee to a safe spot - still with adrenaline bursting - so to get rid of that extra adrenaline and be calm they shiver to loosen up tens muscles and releasing that adrenaline. Being really cold and shiver is not the same, and I should probably listen more to Hoff in that. I have not followed his courses but I have thought myself to relax while cold and felt that it helps me to get warm in a calm way. Not saying that Lisa was wrong just that we can shiver for different reason. Under extrem pleasure we shiver for example - relaxing or go with it then; it depends on the situation and You personal preferences.

I found your video looking for women who have done it. I am on day 4 of a 21 day challenge I feel great and I already heal a problem with wrist. I am so excited!

Ok, what's the "science" for folks over 50 with regards to ice plunges?

Note: Will Hoff also talks about spending time in the sauna after cold plunge.

Raynaud's?

Do the Sauna challenge!

I was reading something on the internet about all the benefits, and how cold showers are so good for you. So I decided, that's for me! I wouldn't even have to wait for the water to heat up, I could just step in and turn the cold water on.. Okay, If you're a big sissy like me, you'll be out of there b4 half of your body gets wet, but I still believe it would be good for you.

I curious, did you keep track of the water temp ?

You didn't mention this but after the third day your hair started looking good. Really good. Oolala bb. Meow

a hat and gloves can help to recover quicker. try just the hat after then try to get rid of the hat and gloves slowly.

I would like an update and also, I have heard the water temp does not have to be ice cold. Is that true and if so what is the best temp that you could still benefit from 11 mins a week plunging.

Would an icemaker make sense for this application?

Updates please.

What temperature did you do the your ice bath at? Did you ever measure the temperature?

am at the part where u say ur sniffing and stuffy, have u tried the sinus rinse? spose to help keep ur sinuses clean

Interesting idea I guess it's stimulus responce maybe you can move the stress threshold. Idk The body does want to survive. As always good vid art science thanks.

I seen celebs recommend gloves and footies for your hands and feet when doing this.

combine the Sauna with the Icebucket^^

Are you doing Wim Hoff breathing?

I had the same oral surgery. Worked great

How might this compare to cold air baths?

Check out Wim Hoff, the human iceman. World records, yoga guru, ice man, the real deal and has set world records

Not crazy at all

🤔 WHY!!!!!!??????😲 😒🍁

Loved this video. 💗💗💗💗

Please do an update

🫶🥶🧊

Oooo no no no. I'm an esthetician and have seen so many clients with capillary damage on the face from ice exposure. Don't ever out your face in ice water. Body is fine but dont dunk your head

🧊🧊🧊 all day

You look younger!!! After the ice bath!!❤
