🌊❄️ Pre and Post Ice Bath Vlog! ❄️🌊

Curious about the why and how of ice baths? I’m sharing my top reasons for taking the plunge:

💪 Muscle Recovery: It helps reduce lactic acid buildup and eases soreness so I can stay active and strong.
 🌀 Lymphatic System Boost: Especially during cold and flu season, it’s an amazing way to support detoxification and immunity.
 🔥 Brown Fat Activation: This deeper adipose tissue gets activated in the cold, which supports metabolic health and energy.

Big thanks to @NureCover for their amazing ice bath setup—it makes this wellness ritual so convenient and effective! 🛁❄️

In this vlog, I also answered common questions, like: ❓ Do I shiver? ❓ How long does it last?
 Sometimes, we dismiss what we don’t understand. Learning about the benefits of ice baths has been so eye-opening, especially as I focus on recovery and longevity in my 40s and beyond.

💬 Now it’s your turn! Drop a comment with your questions about ice baths or cold plunging! I’d love to share more about how this practice supports mind-body wellness as we age.

✨ 3 Lessons I Learned Being a Student and How to Be a Better Teacher

1️⃣ Focus on the Smallest Details Pilates taught me that the tiniest adjustments—like engaging the right muscles or refining my breathing—create the biggest transformations. Precision in movement leads to strength and grace, both on the mat and in life.

2️⃣ Embrace the Element of Surprise Every session offers something new. Whether it’s mastering a challenging move or feeling an unexpected connection between mind and body, Pilates keeps me curious, inspired, and deeply present.

3️⃣ Growth Comes Outside Your Comfort Zone A great mentor doesn’t just guide you—they challenge you. I’ve learned to embrace failure as a stepping stone, using every struggle to refine my technique and grow stronger, more resilient, and more confident.

🌟 Shoutout to @heightspilates 🌟
Thank you for helping me grow as both a student and a teacher.

✨ Let me be your guide as you uncover these lessons in your own Pilates practice. Together, we’ll create a path to a stronger, more empowered you!

🥶✨ The first 30 seconds of my ice bath? Total shock to the system! I was a skeptic until now.❄️

I never in a million years would’ve thought I’d jump on the ice bath trend and seriously rolled my eyes and scrolled on. Big deal, good for you, right? For Christmas, I bought the red light steam sauna and the ice bath was included for free. I really just wanted the sauna TBH. Once I finally experienced the ice bath tho…, it’s an indescribable feeling that I finally understand.

Starting my day with a cold plunge using my @nurecover. Here are MY 3 reasons why:

1️⃣ Reduces Inflammation
Chronic stress often leads to inflammation in the body. My joints have been aching more bc I’ve had alcohol and other bad food choices. Along with detoxing the cold plunges help reduce this by lowering your core temperature and promoting better circulation, supporting overall physical and mental health. An ice bath isn’t just a test of endurance—it’s a reset button for your body and mind!

2️⃣ Supports fat loss
An ice bath in the morning can help activate brown adipose tissue (BAT), which is a type of fat that burns calories to generate heat. Here’s how it works:

* Thermogenesis Activation: Cold exposure stimulates your body to produce heat, a process called non-shivering thermogenesis. This process increases the activity of brown fat, which burns stored calories (including white adipose tissue) to generate heat.

Over time, regular activation of brown fat through cold exposure could potentially improve your metabolic rate and support fat loss. It’s worth noting that while cold exposure may contribute to overall calorie burning, it should be combined with a healthy diet and exercise for more substantial results.

3️⃣ Releases Mood-Boosting Endorphins
Cold exposure stimulates the release of endorphins and increases dopamine levels, which enhance mood and combat feelings of anxiety or overwhelm. This natural “feel-good” response can help you face the day with a clearer, more positive mindset.
