Cold stimulus fitness to progressive

With cold water bath or with cold water to clean the body, exercise.

This kind of exercise methods can stimulate the secretion of large amounts of hormones of the adrenal gland to protect against cold, people become "Hardy".

Cold stimulus to the most important methods include dry friction, friction and cold bath 3 cold water.

For the first attempt of a cold stimulus fitness, regardless of physical strength, in order to avoid a too strong stimulus should be gradual. General practice from dry friction, wait until the body adapt to, and then practice cold water friction, last practice cold bath.

Dry friction

That is, with a dry towel to wipe the whole body.

Start exercise in temperatures around 15 ° c, after the body gradually adapt to increased resistance, even in low-temperature below 0 ° c environment won't feel cold. Note that the initial friction-body exercise time to no more than 3 minutes after the time should be gradually extended. If you do only 1 time per day, then it is more appropriate in the early morning.

Cold water friction

With cold water after wetting the towel wipe the water, or the whole body; friction three to six cups of cold water for around 15 ° c and then sprinkle it with a dry towel, wipe.

Note that when the quick action of friction, 3 minutes, wipe full body, top-down order.

Cold bath

The body soaking in around 15 ° c cold water or shower, takes about 2 minutes.

Into the water before the body heat and friction. Immersion, the body also to activities, water with a dry towel immediately after the body dry, dressed, not cold. Note that the cold bath after 30 minutes to warm, and proper rest.

Above these three cold stimulation exercises are appropriate "cold" to stimulate the body, regardless of a cold stimulus method, you need to do a slight redness of the skin, the body has a warm and comfortable.

If you do not feel that after physical exercise and warm, but feel that cold or apathetic, that is not valid or even harmful, exercise improperly or not adapt to the body.

Note that cold stimulation exercise method is not the beginning of each individual can do, according to the individual body gradually adapt, not jumping the gun.

In addition, users can select the early practice from the weather warm season started doing exercise, gradual transition to the cold winter months. If the body is weak or recovery after disease and high blood pressure or heart patients, do not try this kind of exercise method. Because of the too strong of a cold stimulus but will make the fragile body rub, adrenal hormone secreted diminish, decrease of secretion, lower the body's resistance to cold.
