🧊 I took ice baths for a week on the balcony of my flat and I hated every minute of it
‘Putting myself through something I hated, gives me a vaguely nice feeling. After all, challenges are good for you!’ I am extremely averse to cold water. I hover for ages on the edge of a swimming pool before getting in. I’ll consider a dip in the sea only if there’s been a heatwave, or if I’m in the Caribbean – a place I have been once in my life and did indeed find the water just about right. No lidos or wild swimming for me.
Cold water therapy has its roots in ancient history, having been practised religiously for centuries in Scandinavia, while thermalism, or the ritual of enjoying hot and cold baths, dates back to the ancient Greeks. There is clearly some appeal. So when I hear that a new portable ice pod exists – which I can use on the balcony of my flat rather than trudging back and forth to some distant cold place – I decide, against my better judgement, to give it a try.
arrived at my flat – much to my disappointment that it didn’t get lost in the post like everything else I order – and I started with the building. It is sleek and paddling-pool like, making for a very easy construction even for someone who failed every Design Technology challenge at school.
