SHOULD I BUY AN ICE BATH OR AN ICE BATH PRO?
Choosing between an Ice Bath Pro and a more basic Ice Bath depends on your individual needs and preferences. Here are some reasons why you might prefer an Ice Bath Pro over a regular Ice Bath:
Advanced Features: The Ice Bath Pro comes with the option for advanced features that can enhance your ice bathing experience. This may include built-in coolers, spa features, or other extra functions that increase comfort and enjoyment during your ice bath.
Extra Strength and Durability: Ice Bath Pros are often constructed with extra strength and durability, making them suitable for frequent use and long lifespan. Additionally, you can typically sit in the ice bath for longer periods. This can be ideal for serious ice bathers or professional athletes.
Design and Aesthetics: It's a matter of personal taste, and it also depends on space. Some have the option to place the ice bath next to the shower. Others on the balcony. It all depends on space and needs in the end.
Customization Options: Ice Bath Pros can offer more customization options, allowing you to adjust it to your preferences and needs. This can be important if you have specific requirements for your ice bath.
Focus on Advanced Recovery: If you need intense recovery and restoration after exercise or sports, an Ice Bath Pro can offer extra benefits and features that support this process.
It's important to consider your personal needs and budget before making your choice. Both types of ice baths can provide benefits for your body and well-being, so it's about finding the right solution that suits you and your goals.
After regular use of the ice bath, it's important to clean it properly to maintain hygiene. See our cleaning steps here
Whether you're purchasing an Ice Bath Pro or our best-selling traditional ice bath, it regulates the temperature itself, much like nature does with the sea. We don't encourage using a lot of energy on ice in the ice bath. However, if you want to lower the temperature by 1-2 degrees, it may be just what you need to feel the optimal sense of well-being.
But we simply encourage the ice baths to regulate themselves
No, unfortunately it does not. It's an optional addition to your Ice Bath Pro. Our Cooler and SPA have both a cooling function and a SPA function. This means that it can both cool your water to a desired temperature. Additionally, it can also heat your water - just like in a SPA
Yes, you can. All our baths are portable ice baths and come with a backpack or a bag included in your purchase. With both our traditional Ice Bath and Ice Bath Pro, you can pack the tub in just 5 minutes. Similarly, when you need to set it up, it takes no time.
To make the most of your ice bathing experience, consider warming up with light exercise, stretching your body, or taking a warm shower before ice bathing. After ice bathing, you can wrap yourself in warm clothing, drink hot beverages, and give your body time to rewarm and relax. It's also recommended to follow up with light activity or stretching exercises to promote blood circulation and prevent muscle stiffness.
Get started with ice bathing and winter bathing by following these tips. Start with shorter stays in the ice bath, gradually increasing the time as your body adjusts to the cold water.
A recommendation is to start with 10-20 seconds and then increase by 1 minute. Maximum time in the ice bath, we recommend you sit for 2 minutes. Start with shorter stays in the water and gradually increase the time as your body gets used to the cold water. Listen to your body and respect its limits. Also, follow some general safety guidelines, such as bathing with others, being aware of surrounding temperatures, and avoiding sudden temperature changes.
Always remember to listen to your body and respect its limits. Ice bathing and winter bathing can be a fantastic way to improve your health and well-being, as long as you take it at your own pace and take care of yourself.
20 kg! That's how much ice you need to lower the temperature from 10 degrees to 5 degrees in your Ice Tub Pro.
It's not a must to use ice cubes for your ice bath. An alternative and simpler approach is to follow the air temperature. By placing your basin outdoors and letting it stand in the cold air, the water will gradually cool down to the ambient temperature. This may be sufficient to create a comfortable and safe temperature for ice bathing without the need for ice.
By following the air temperature, you are doing the same as the sea. The sea also gradually becomes colder as the air temperature drops. So, just like the sea, take advantage of the seasonal temperature. This way, you'll also find it easier to winter bathe, simply by gradually following the lower temperature. It's important to remember that safety and comfort are paramount in ice bathing, and you should find the best approach that suits your needs and resources.
