Popular Elevate Recovery Timing Options

For a longer session, you can extend the durations of the sauna and ice bath sessions while maintaining the cooling off periods in between

Option 1

Sauna Session: 10 minutes

Start with a 10-minute sauna session in a cedar sauna. Allow your body to gradually acclimate to the heat and experience the therapeutic benefits of sauna therapy. Focus on relaxation and deep breathing during this time.

Cooling Off Period: 3-5 minutes

After the sauna session, take a 3-5 minute cooling off period. Use a cold shower or splash cold water on your body to lower your body temperature and promote circulation. Start with shorter durations for the cooling off period and gradually increase as you become more comfortable.

Ice Bath: 2-3 minutes

After the cooling off period, immerse your body in an ice bath for 2-3 minutes. Start with a shorter duration for your first ice bath and gradually increase the time as you build tolerance. Focus on deep breathing and relaxation during the ice bath.

Repeat (Optional)

Depending on your comfort level, you can repeat the cycle once more. This beginner-friendly option allows you to experience the benefits of both heat and cold therapy in a safe and controlled manner. Remember to listen to your body and adjust the durations according to your comfort level.
