Best Season for Cold Plunging:

Cold plunging can be practiced year-round.
Plunging After Workouts:
Cold plunging within 30 minutes post-workout can be beneficial

Consider alternating between immediate post-workout plunges and delayed plunges to balance recovery and adaptation
Take the plunge, embrace the chill, and watch as you transform into a stronger, more resilient version of yourself.
