October is full of important mental health observances: a reminder to slow down, check in with yourself, and strengthen your mental well-being.
Cold plunging is more than recovery... itâs resilience training. Every ice bath is a practice in breathing through discomfort and staying calm under stress, helping you build mental grit that supports a healthier, more balanced mind.
What do you do to stay on top of your mental health game?
Thinking about competing in a HYROX? Take it from HYROX Elite 15 athlete Rich Ryan: "Ice Barrel has been a huge addition to my HYROX training. Better recovery. Improved mental focus. Noticeable bump in energy."
And if you're competing in Dallas HYROX this weekend, full send đȘ
If you train hard but recover poorly⊠youâre limiting your progress.
Most people donât need a harder workout.
They need to stop falling off recovery.
Thatâs why I use @icebarrel
No setup. No excuses. Ready every day.
Iâve stayed more consistent because of it and consistency is what actually changes your body and performance.
Do this for 3 days straight and tell me you donât feel different.

BE LIKE WOLVES đđș
Honestly⊠they might be out there doing morning protocols, who knows?!
No phones, no timers, just vibes and survival
But YOUâŠ
donât go full belly-up like a human floating popsicle âïž
Posture matters:
đŠ
Tall spine = better control
Sit upright
Eyes wide on the horizon
Dip in to the neck*
Slow the heart rate
đ and yesâŠnose breathing as you settle in (looking at you newbies đ) keeps you calm instead of gasping
*Trigger the mammalian dive reflex which slows your heart rate by putting your neck and maybe even lower cheeks in.
đș
Feeling more contained, telling your nervous system youâre safe.
Cold isnât about shock
itâs about managing the breath to
Create your own safety
So you can surrender.
đŠđș
So - plunge like wolves, or seals, or whatever spirit animal you want to be today as you dip into the chilly waters.

Recovery is just as important as the training. đ§đââïž
With HYROX training and running 5x a week, my legs take a beating! Cold therapy has become one of my favorite ways to bounce back faster. Getting into the @icebarrel right after a run helps me feel refreshed, recovered, and ready for the next session.
If youâve been curious about cold plunging, this is one of the easiest ways to add it to your routine if you like the convenience of having a barrel at home.
Code âANNAâ is good for $100 off a barrel or chiller and $200 off a bundle. It stacks on top of any sitewide sale!

This is probably the easiest routine that I stick to for my longevity overall and it's been very very helpful. It's hard to explain how good you feel after these sessions but it's one that I'll never stop doing. I'll tag both the brands I use below for my sauna and my cold plunge .
