How to Benefit From Regular
Cold Water Immersion
and Save Thousands of Dollars by
Converting a Chest Freezer
Into Your Own Personal Cold Plunge
An easy step by step guide!
About the Book
Regular cold-water immersion can improve your physical health and emotional well-being. Whether you are an elite athlete, a bio-hacker, a health and fitness enthusiast, or someone who is trying to reboot your immune system, cold water might be the missing piece to enhance your results.
However, if you live in a warm climate, what options do you have?
Cold showers are a good place to start, but do not provide consistent temperatures year-round, and most people find them to be uncomfortable at best. Buying and hauling ice gets expensive and takes a lot of time. Cryotherapy chambers are inconvenient and expensive. Commercially built cold plunges can cost several thousand – or tens of thousands – of dollars.
So, what is a great solution for the average person?
Convert a chest freezer into a cold plunge!
However, chest freezers are not meant to hold water. Creating a personal cold plunge from a chest freezer is fraught with potential problems and missteps. If you don’t set it up correctly, you can damage or break your chest freezer, waste hundreds of dollars and countless hours of time, or worse, injure yourself.
After two years of research and modifications and helping more than 1,500 people from 72 countries in a private online group, John Richter has created a guide book that helps you convert a chest freezer into a cold plunge while avoiding costly mistakes and frustration.
The Ultimate Chest Freezer Cold Plunge DIY Guide helps you:
-
- Select the best chest freezer
- Figure out the best option for your budget
- Prevent rust and other damage
- Choose equipment for easy use and maintenance
- Keep your water clean- with or without chemicals
- Be safe
- Set the optimal temperature
- Create a cold-water practice
- Find the best training
- Avoid costly mistakes
- And much more
Each chapter is easy to read and offers step-by-step directions. The book includes a buyer’s guide, setup checklist, and a FAQ that answers more than 50 questions.
This book is a must-have for professional athletes, students of the Wim Hof Method, followers of Dr. Jack Kruze, and anyone else who wants to take the benefits of cold training to the next level.
