I've been showering in almost ice cold water for almost 2 weeks. At first it was a huge shock to my body.

Now I did it this morning and my body didn't even flinch. I feel much more revitalised than having warm showers and the cold does not bother me at all outside anymore.

No. I'm not sure why I'd want to, hot showers are way better.

This happened to me at first. Now my body embraces it.

I've taken showers without working hot water. It's miserable but doable.
Under no circumstance have I tried hardcore mode lol:

Our boiler which heats our water system crashed a few years ago and during the winter I take showers

my wife bathes and washes with heated water as well as my kids, but I just want to jump in wash and get out

got used to it very quickly

I did it for a while for the health benefits but then realized I didn't really need to boost my metabolism since mine is already pretty good and Im active enough.

If Ive already been swimming then I can get into a cold shower mostly fine. But not too cold
otherwise I need to adjust over multiple minutes, huge waste of water

I can, but it's definitely not a no problem situation. It normally takes like a solid minute to even get from breathing heavy.

I normally take a cold shower like once a month or something.

Absolutely not. I can't even breathe during a cold shower. I don't understand at all how people are capable of taking them.

I do hot first and then cold at end for as long as I can stand it. Turning slowly helps to share the pain.

If I have to. It just means you take a quicker shower to get out faster. Also wakes you up.

I've probably taken a few hundred cold showers over the years, and a few ice baths and cold plunges. It was difficult the first few times, but you figure out how to deal with it. I don't do it very often anymore because I didn't perceive any benefit from it aside from general preparedness.

yeah, i was on a cold shower kick for a while but i dont really notice a health difference compared to hot showers
the initial plunge into the shower sucks every time, but i got used to it really fast.

Yep, have done it before when staying at military bases (as a civvy). We called hot showers "hollywood showers", shamelessly nicked from the underwater boat people.

I normally go in arse-first and then lean my head back. Once the cold shock's worn off, I'm good to go.

That said, my shower's normally around 38-40 degrees so it gets steamy quite quickly. Love a hot shower.
