Common Sauna & Ice Bath Mistakes | Avoid These Errors | KOVE
Jan 22, 2026
Most people don’t need a more extreme routine—they need a more consistent one. Here are common mistakes that can make sauna and cold plunge sessions uncomfortable or hard to maintain.
Mistake 1: Doing Too Much Too Soon
Start shorter and build gradually. Consistency beats intensity.
Mistake 2: Ignoring Hydration
Hydration matters before and after sauna sessions, and after cold plunges too.
Mistake 3: Chasing the Coldest Temperature
Choose a temperature you can repeat regularly. A chiller can help you keep sessions consistent.
Mistake 4: No Rest Between Heat and Cold
In contrast routines, short rest periods help keep sessions comfortable and sustainable.
Mistake 5: Buying for Aesthetics, Not Routine
Choose equipment that fits your space and lifestyle so you actually use it.
