Nope, only in the summers when I am about to finish, I put my head under cold water for a couple seconds and that's it.

trying to get into the habit of taking cold showers, i took steaming hot showers all my life but i find myself having a real hard ass time waking up and getting with it to continue with the day. the cold showers are definitely helping with that, i feel much more energetic when i get out of the shower and dont have that urge to shut my eyes for a bit more. with that being said, if you've taken hot showers mainly through out life then switching over to cold showers may be unpleasant at first.

I usually only do it after a hard workout. I'm not sure if it's true but I have heard the cold water helps increase sperm production.

I enjoy cold showers all summer long as a heat reduction tool, but as others have said, the hot in the winter is just too nice to pass up

also....really hot showers are not good for you as the heat can help cause chemical reaction in the chlorine that are found in most 1st world water supplies and I would assume that would also be true of some of the chemicals they put into shampoos

I first started taking them when Steve Maxwell was on Rogan's podcast mentioning the benefits of cold showers about how it's good for the immune system ..etc. I then noticed I was getting sick in the period of the coldest months when taking extreme cold showers. I wasn't sitting in the shower for 5 mins in sub freezing temps but I would take a daily brief but brutally cold shower every morning before work. I mean it was brutally cold where I had to psych myself up before getting in briefly. While the shower itself sucked I felt awesome after.

Anyway I stopped doing them and did notice I didn't come down with any nasty colds after so I'm not sure if they were related. There was another Rogan podcast....it might have been a Dr Rhonda Patrick, where they mentioned doing daily extreme cold showers can have a negative impact on your system. Something about shocking your body it too often, can't remember the specifics but that was enough for me to knock off the extreme cold showers for good along with my own personal experiences. I still end my showers with cold water but no more brutal Jan ones where there is no hot water.
