30:00get in there and when you sit still as get in there and when you sit still as long as you don't move right because long as you don't move right because long as you don't move right because it's the movement of the water that's it's the movement of the water that's it's the movement of the water that's what makes it feel so cold if you get in what makes it feel so cold if you get in what makes it feel so cold if you get in and don't move and let the water become and don't move and let the water become and don't move and let the water become calm and you just control your breathing calm and you just control your breathing calm and you just control your breathing like I'll turn on the music in my like I'll turn on the music in my like I'll turn on the music in my bathroom because I F at my tub and dump bathroom because I F at my tub and dump bathroom because I F at my tub and dump ice in there and I'll turn on the radio ice in there and I'll turn on the radio ice in there and I'll turn on the radio and within 10 seconds I'm singing along and within 10 seconds I'm singing along and within 10 seconds I'm singing along to the radio like it's nothing my to the radio like it's nothing my to the radio like it's nothing my husband walks in he's like you are husband walks in he's like you are husband walks in he's like you are freaking crazy what are you doing cuz freaking crazy what are you doing cuz freaking crazy what are you doing cuz I'll set my timer for like six minutes I'll set my timer for like six minutes I'll set my timer for like six minutes and I try to increase it so like I'm up and I try to increase it so like I'm up and I try to increase it so like I'm up to like seven or eight minutes right now to like seven or eight minutes right now to like seven or eight minutes right now and I just sit there and but it's what and I just sit there and but it's what and I just sit there and but it's what I've found is several things a I cut fat I've found is several things a I cut fat I've found is several things a I cut fat a lot faster when I do that consistently a lot faster when I do that consistently a lot faster when I do that consistently my muscles are not sore when I do it my muscles are not sore when I do it my muscles are not sore when I do it consistently my abs show up more than consistently my abs show up more than consistently my abs show up more than they've ever in my life there's so many they've ever in my life there's so many they've ever in my life there's so many benefits to it and not to mention when I benefits to it and not to mention when I benefits to it and not to mention when I do it first thing in the morning it's do it first thing in the morning it's do it first thing in the morning it's like a mindset thing like it's like when like a mindset thing like it's like when like a mindset thing like it's like when I get out I feel I get out I feel I get out I feel like I can conquer the world and I know

34:00or you don't but I'm gonna still do it or you don't but I'm gonna still do it and you're going to be wishing suck it and you're going to be wishing suck it and you're going to be wishing suck it up see all this fat okay I I'm down up see all this fat okay I I'm down up see all this fat okay I I'm down for that so I'm gonna go find find one for that so I'm gonna go find find one for that so I'm gonna go find find one this weekend I'm I'm so I'm like the this weekend I'm I'm so I'm like the this weekend I'm I'm so I'm like the super nerdy geek that I went and like super nerdy geek that I went and like super nerdy geek that I went and like researched it because I was like why researched it because I was like why researched it because I was like why does it make it burn fat because you does it make it burn fat because you does it make it burn fat because you know I am like I have to know why about know I am like I have to know why about know I am like I have to know why about everything like I want to know why so I everything like I want to know why so I everything like I want to know why so I went research and I'm like why does it went research and I'm like why does it went research and I'm like why does it burn fat more and so they explained that burn fat more and so they explained that burn fat more and so they explained that your body has white fat and brown fat your body has white fat and brown fat your body has white fat and brown fat which I did not know this until I read which I did not know this until I read which I did not know this until I read this right your body has white fat cells this right your body has white fat cells this right your body has white fat cells and brown fat cells and that when you're and brown fat cells and that when you're and brown fat cells and that when you're when from working out eating right doing when from working out eating right doing when from working out eating right doing all that stuff you're only burning the all that stuff you're only burning the all that stuff you're only burning the white fat and your brown fat is what is white fat and your brown fat is what is white fat and your brown fat is what is on the very very surface like right on the very very surface like right on the very very surface like right below the skin layer and when you're below the skin layer and when you're below the skin layer and when you're doing those cold plunges because of doing those cold plunges because of doing those cold plunges because of something and I don't even know all I something and I don't even know all I something and I don't even know all I don't remember all the technicals on don't remember all the technicals on don't remember all the technicals on that but that burns the that burns the that but that burns the that burns the that but that burns the that burns the brown fat for how how again I researched brown fat for how how again I researched brown fat for how how again I researched all this and I don't remember all that all this and I don't remember all that all this and I don't remember all that it those are the things that I do
35:00it those are the things that I do it those are the things that I do remember that stood out to me was the remember that stood out to me was the remember that stood out to me was the difference in and I was like so but but difference in and I was like so but but difference in and I was like so but but from working out and eating right and from working out and eating right and from working out and eating right and all that stuff your body can eventually all that stuff your body can eventually all that stuff your body can eventually burn Brown fat but it's like extremely burn Brown fat but it's like extremely burn Brown fat but it's like extremely hard to get to that point where your hard to get to that point where your hard to get to that point where your body is doing that on its own but the body is doing that on its own but the body is doing that on its own but the cold plunges do that so I was like well cold plunges do that so I was like well cold plunges do that so I was like well that's cool that makes you know some that's cool that makes you know some that's cool that makes you know some sort of understanding behind it yeah sort of understanding behind it yeah sort of understanding behind it yeah yeah and it it it makes sense like why yeah and it it it makes sense like why yeah and it it it makes sense like why not expedite your goals you know I know not expedite your goals you know I know not expedite your goals you know I know it's painful I know it's cold but like it's painful I know it's cold but like it's painful I know it's cold but like it's also really enjoyable when you get it's also really enjoyable when you get it's also really enjoyable when you get out it's like oh yes so refreshing even out it's like oh yes so refreshing even out it's like oh yes so refreshing even if it's 40 if it's 40 if it's 40 outside it's it's actually warmer outside it's it's actually warmer outside it's it's actually warmer outside when it's 30 40 degrees and it outside when it's 30 40 degrees and it outside when it's 30 40 degrees and it is in there so it's actually just a is in there so it's actually just a is in there so it's actually just a relief stress relief like we could all relief stress relief like we could all relief stress relief like we could all use that you know okay wait so I'll use that you know okay wait so I'll use that you know okay wait so I'll listen to this podcast and it was with listen to this podcast and it was with listen to this podcast and it was with this and I wish I remember which one it this and I wish I remember which one it this and I wish I remember which one it was cuz I would say it because it was so was cuz I would say it because it was so was cuz I would say it because it was so fre I listened to this podcast episode fre I listened to this podcast episode fre I listened to this podcast episode 12 times and I'm not even exaggerating
36:0012 times and I'm not even exaggerating 12 times and I'm not even exaggerating that's how like it much I liked it so that's how like it much I liked it so that's how like it much I liked it so this guy talked about cold plunging and this guy talked about cold plunging and this guy talked about cold plunging and he said it this way and I was like you he said it this way and I was like you he said it this way and I was like you just hit the nail on the head when you just hit the nail on the head when you just hit the nail on the head when you take a shower right and it's hot the take a shower right and it's hot the take a shower right and it's hot the water is hot when you get out you're water is hot when you get out you're water is hot when you get out you're cold and you're freaking miserable but cold and you're freaking miserable but cold and you're freaking miserable but when you cold plunge and you get out of when you cold plunge and you get out of when you cold plunge and you get out of that cold plunge your body is instantly that cold plunge your body is instantly that cold plunge your body is instantly warm and it feels a heck of a lot better warm and it feels a heck of a lot better warm and it feels a heck of a lot better getting out of a cold plunge than it getting out of a cold plunge than it getting out of a cold plunge than it does getting out of a hot shower and does getting out of a hot shower and does getting out of a hot shower and that is the truth and I was like oh my that is the truth and I was like oh my that is the truth and I was like oh my God I was like that is so true and I God I was like that is so true and I God I was like that is so true and I never thought of it that way but he's never thought of it that way but he's never thought of it that way but he's like wouldn't you rather get out and like wouldn't you rather get out and like wouldn't you rather get out and your body feel warm than get out and your body feel warm than get out and your body feel warm than get out and your body feel your body feel your body feel cold that makes so much sense too that cold that makes so much sense too that cold that makes so much sense too that makes so much sense it does and that makes so much sense it does and that makes so much sense it does and that just brought up a point and I was like just brought up a point and I was like just brought up a point and I was like oh my gosh yes where when you do get out oh my gosh yes where when you do get out oh my gosh yes where when you do get out and it is colder I'm wondering if that's and it is colder I'm wondering if that's and it is colder I'm wondering if that's where the body temperature regulation
