I have the Plunge cold plunge and Sun Home Equinox sauna. I’ve been cold plunging for years and just recently got a sauna. I’m overwhelming myself trying to come up with a routine. You’re not supposed to shower after plunge but if I’ve done a sauna session I obviously need to 😅 Also don’t know that I love the idea of jumping in my plunge while drenched in sweat? Will it make the water icky? I know I have a filter but just unsure??
I’m recovering from surgery so still a work in progress regarding getting back to my routine, but to give you an idea I go to the gym at 5am a few times a week, usually home around 6:30-6:40 then have to get home to get the family up and ready and then some days go into the office. Some days I go to the gym in the afternoon like 1pm. What would you recommend for routine? Is it important to do this stuff right after the gym? Do I have to do plunge and sauna back to back or can I plunge in the morning and sauna before bed?
Any tips for heating it quicker? I can’t start it before going to the gym as it will automatically turn off by the time I get home anyways.
