Step 3: Setting Up Your Ice Bath

Once you’ve selected your tub, it's time to set it up:

1. Inflate the Tub: Use an air pump to fill the tub with air. Make sure it's firm enough for stability during your bath.
2. Place the Tub: Position your tub in the selected space. Ensure it’s level for an even water distribution.
3. Fill with Water: Fill the tub with cold water up to the desired level. The amount of water will vary based on personal preference and tub size.
4. Add Ice: For effective cold therapy, add ice to the water. Start with a smaller amount and gradually increase as your tolerance develops.

Step 4: Enjoy Your Ice Bath

Immerse yourself slowly to allow your body to adjust to the temperature. Begin with short sessions of 5-10 minutes and increase the duration as you become more accustomed to the cold.
