An ice bath can be a great way for you to relax after exercise. Ice baths are great for arthritis sufferers as they reduce pain and swelling. It's also great for stress relief. We'll be discussing the many benefits of ice baths and how to prepare them. Because the ice can make your skin feel very cold, you should wear long sleeves or sweatshirts. You can bring along a book or magazine to help you enjoy the ice bath experience.

First, be prepared for the icy temperatures. You should use a thermometer. A ice bath should not exceed 54-60 degrees Fahrenheit (13-16 degrees Celsius). You should be calm, take deep and slow breaths, and remain calm. It will be natural for your body to take shallow breathes. Taking deep breaths will help you get more oxygen into your system and relax more easily. You should resist the temptation to shower in a hot tub immediately afterwards. It is better to warm your body by having a warm drink afterwards.
