The method
The target duration is split into stages with prompts along the way, giving you a mental checkpoint instead of just a countdown to zero.
FAQ
What are the staged prompts for?
Cold exposure sessions often get harder to sit through as time passes, so staged prompts (like at the 1-minute and 2-minute marks) help you pace and mentally check in without watching the clock constantly.
What target durations are typical?
Many people start around 1-3 minutes and build up over time — always follow guidance appropriate to your own experience and health.
Is this a substitute for medical advice?
No — this is a pacing timer only. Cold exposure carries real risks; consult a doctor before starting if you have any cardiovascular or health concerns.
