After my unique cold plunge fitness challenge (started at 5 minutes on Day 1 and added a minute every day for 45 days till I achieved 50 minutes), several of you asked what’s next.

After my unique cold plunge fitness challenge (started at 5 minutes on Day 1 and added a minute every day for 45 days till I achieved 50 minutes), several of you asked what’s next. While talking to a dear friend today, I came up with it. I thought it would be fun to share it with you all.

This is the pool at my building complex in Miami. They claim that it is the longest pool in the United States. While I don't know if this is true, I believe that it is likely - cause its the longest freaking pool I have ever seen x3. See photo below.

The challenge I came up with is this. I am going to swim one lap today and then I am going to add an additional lap every day for the next 35 days. I have no idea how long it’s gonna take to swim 35 laps in this pool, but I look forward to finding out.

P.S. - Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I am starting this challenge on day six of a forty day water only fast, but that is a whole different post for another day. 💪

Key lesson: Small daily escalations build extraordinary physical tolerance.

Summary: Recaps a 45-day cold plunge challenge from 5 minutes to 50.
