The Cold Plunge Advantage
Cold plunging, also known as ice bathing or cold water immersion, is a practice where the body is submerged in cold water for a brief period, typically 2-5 minutes. This ancient technique has been utilized for centuries in various cultures to promote healing and well-being. Today, it has gained popularity among athletes, biohackers, and wellness enthusiasts for its ability to enhance recovery, boost circulation, and improve overall health.The cold water triggers a physiological response that includes the constriction of blood vessels, which reduces inflammation and alleviates muscle soreness. It also stimulates the release of endorphins, providing a natural mood boost and increased energy. Beyond physical benefits, cold plunging activates the body’s stress response in a controlled way, building resilience and mental clarity.
How Long Should You Stay in a Cold Plunge?
Wim Hof’s Philosophy: Time in the cold plunge should focus on quality over duration. Typically, 2–3 minutes is sufficient to gain the physiological benefits of cold exposure
For Beginners: Start with 30 seconds to 1 minute to acclimate your body.
Experienced Practitioners: Gradually increase to 2–3 minutes, focusing on your breathing and staying calm.
Important Note: Wim Hof emphasizes listening to your body—there’s no need to push excessively. Avoid staying too long, as overexposure can lead to hypothermia or discomfort.
The Ancient Roman City of Jerash
One of the best things to do in Jordan is to visit the ancient city of Jerash, considered one of the best-preserved Roman-era cities in the world. Actually, Alexander the Great originally founded Jerash (or Gerasa) as a Greek City in the 4th Century BC.
Unlike other ancient Roman cities, you’ll see little restoration; buildings are as it was during the Roman days (or how it has crumbled since). Contemplate that as you walk around exploring what’s left of cultural centers like temples, theaters, and hippodromes. White Australia has such a short, colonized history that you wouldn’t find a building under 200 years old.
You can still see the Greek inscriptions in the crumbling remains of the façade that once faced the city. About three hundred years later, the Romans took control where it grew to be one of the most impressive Roman cities to ever exist.
Amman Accommodation: Kempinski Hotel
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting such a nice hotel to be part of a tour. Kempinski Hotel was in a great location in Amman’s central business district, the service was outstanding, and the rooms were very comfortable with the biggest and best pillows I’ve ever had. The bathroom towels were gigantic and just as luxurious as the fluffy robe. I couldn’t have wished for a more comfortable bed for the 13 hour sleep I had on my first evening - after 30 hours without it.
Spending 15 minutes each day in the complimentary steam and sauna room in the Spa helped me recover from jet lag. The buffet breakfast and dinners were also delicious and full of Jordanian food. Hotel breakfast and dinner buffets are included in the Globus tour. There are local restaurants within walking distance to the hotel if you want to eat out. You will love having 5 Star accommodation at affordable prices on your Escape by Globus tours.
Return After A Long Week Of Memories
What you do on this final day of your Jordan tour depends on what time you are flying out. Globus will transfer you directly to Amman airport from the Movenpick Resort and Spa.
Hot Tip: My flight was early morning, so I left the resort about 10pm. Had I known how great the Dead Sea Resort and Spa was, I would have delayed my flight until the following day and stayed an extra night and morning.
