ICE Bath Plunge in your Home with The Ice Pod

Why the “tech” of cryotherapy does not compare to ice baths! This is not to say one is harder than the other but what are the overall benefits!

To the naked eye the cryo-therapy would seem better (because its roughly -200 degrees inside), easier and less messy but.... You have to have access to a facility with those machines and you have to be able to afford that service regularly.

The added benefits of ICE BATHS!

1. Ease of Access
2. Improved Blood Flow Due To Water Pressure
3. Increased Vagus Nerve Stimulation

They both will help with one’s ability to deal with anxiety, inflammation, muscle recovery, sleep and cold shock protein production.

I just bought “The ICE POD” for under $200 and I couldn’t be more excited because I was just buying bags and bags of ice to fill up the bath tub at my place and it was never ideal.

Long story short!
Ice Baths are like a metaphor for life, your ability to stay calm in tough and uncomfortable situations makes all the small things that much easier.

JUST BREATHE!

My Favorite Bicep Exercise

I'm going to show you my favorite bicep exercise to get some guns like this. I'm just kidding.

So, here's what I do, You need three things: a carabiner a curl bar and a half inch thick superband.

So I'm going to clip a carabiner around the resistance band like so. And now I have two things and polls. Those are going to go on either foot. And now, instead of your traditional barbell curl, you get nonstop resistance.

You get increasing tension as you cross that 90 degree mark, as opposed to the opposite when you go back because once your hands go above this roughly 75 degree angle, the gravity of the bar starts to just sit atop of your elbows, right.
It feels great, constant burn and the burn goes better and even better.

Watch the full video on my instagram to learn the step by step on how to do this exercise.

DFoss: Must Have Home Gym Workout Equipment

If you're creating your own gym, this is a piece of equipment that you need to buy. This is called a YBELL - comes in all shapes and sizes.

So this is great because it functions as a dumbbell kettlebell, a parallel and a medicine ball. I'll show you what I mean.

So like a dumbbell, you can grab in the middle and be able to have all of the weight perfectly surrounding your wrist.

Or you can use like a kettlebell because you can grab any one of the outside holders and do all of your kettlebell flow movements. Or any kettlebell strength movement doesn't matter.

You can use it like a medicine ball because you can grab multiple handles at once. And you can do tons of moves there.

And then lastly, you can use it like a parallel because you can do push ups on the ground with them.

I love them personally. They're a great addition to the home gym. They're a great way to save space and save money. They are a little pricey, but their domain with a great new print material. They go all the way up to I believe 44 pounds all the way down to two. So check out the why bells. I think it's Go check them out if you're looking to add a nice, clean, high, high quality piece of equipment to your new home gym.
