These rituals are time-tested and are as simple as they are effective. That is why here at PLUNJ, staying true to the Nordic tradition, we have developed #theregimen. This regimen not only stays true to its Nordic roots, but we are sure that it will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to PLUNJ through whatever life might have in store for you next.
Drink 1-2 glasses or a bottle of water 30 minutes to an hour before you get into the sauna. Once inside, choose your seat. The top bench is hotter than the bottom bench. The host will pour water on the stones to create löyly (the Finnish word for steam that comes off the hot rocks.) After 8-15 minutes of sweating, move on to step 2.
Now, onto perhaps the most rewarding, yet challenging piece of the regimen: the PLUNJ. Before entering the plunge pool, please make sure to rinse with the bucket shower next to the plunges. Pick which plunge pool you would like to use, and submerse your body into the water. One is set for about 50°F, and the other is set for about 42°F. Once you have submersed yourself, feel free to stay in the plunge pool, practicing your breathing, for up to 5 minutes. You can challenge yourself, but listen to your body. When you’re ready, move on to step 3.
Time to relax. Choose a chair, grab a towel, and rest for at least 3-5 minutes, allowing your body to regulate its own temperature. Take this opportunity to breath, rehydrate, and prepare for sweating again in the sauna.
Once complete, repeat steps 1-3 one or two more times.
