Add Vigor and Vitality to Your Day with Cold Plunging – Brought to You by Teddy Bear Pools & Spa

Add Vigor and Vitality to Your Day with Cold Plunging
Cold plunging isn’t just for elite athletes anymore. What started as a recovery tool in the world of sports has now gone mainstream as a powerful wellness ritual. From faster muscle recovery to elevated mood and energy, cold plunging is a simple yet transformative way to reset and recharge—whether you’re hitting the gym, the office, or just life in general.
At Teddy Bear Pools & Spa in Chicopee, we believe wellness should be part of your everyday life. That's why we're excited to introduce the benefits of cold plunging, and how you can easily incorporate it into your own routine.
Why Cold Plunging Works
- Soothe Muscles and Speed Recovery
Cold water immersion reduces inflammation and muscle soreness by lowering tissue temperature. Post-workout or after a long day, it helps you bounce back quicker. - Boost Mood and Mental Sharpness
Cold plunging triggers a release of dopamine and norepinephrine—chemicals linked to improved focus, motivation, and mood. Many say they feel energized and mentally clear for hours afterward. - Increase Energy and Alertness
A plunge can act like a natural shot of espresso. It wakes up your nervous system and leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalized. - Build Stress Resilience
Think of it as a workout for your nervous system. Regular plunging helps your body better handle stress both in and out of the water.
How to Get Started
What You’ll Need:
- A dedicated cold plunge tub like the Hot Spring Spas Vigor™ Cold Plunge, available at Teddy Bear Pools & Spa
- Access to power if using a cooled system
- A towel, cozy robe, or heated blanket for afterward

Beginner Tips:
- Start at 50–60ºF for 1–2 minutes
- Breathe deeply and calmly to manage the cold shock
- Begin with 2–4 sessions per week and work up to 11+ minutes total
- Always listen to your body. Shivering, dizziness, or numbness? Time to get out
Safe & Smart Cold Plunging:
- Don’t go it alone at first—have someone nearby
- Warm up gradually after each session
- Avoid diving in if you have any health concerns without talking to your doctor first
