Description
*** Now with voice prompts while you shower. You don't even need to open your eyes, connect your phone to a bluetooth speaker and run the routine remotely without risking getting your phone wet. ***
The Contrast Shower (or hydrotherapy) app lets you: • Start the timer and let the app automatically switch between hot and cold cycles • Custom step that includes time to wash your body before starting the contrast routine. • Hear a buzzer when its time to switch the temperature between cycles. • Configure settings so you can edit the length and amount of cycles for your routine.
Contrast Showers are incredibly beneficial in multiple ways: • Increases Energy and Alertness - Exposure to cold showers can increase the synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain and levels of beta endorphins in the blood by activating the sympathetic nervous system. • Enhances Mood and Mental Fortitude - Cold receptors in the skin send overwhelming electrical impulses to the brain from peripheral nerve endings resulting for some in an anti-depressive effect. • Faster Workout Recovery - The temperature contrast creates a pump effect that flushes lactic acid in your body which builds up during exercise. • Improves Circulation and stimulates thermogenesis - The hot water dilates blood vessels and increases circulation, while cold water constricts blood vessels decreasing blood flow.
Recent changes: Now with an updated 7 cycle shower for those who want to take their showers to the next level!

I love this app. You'd think there wasn't anything special about an alternating hot/cold shower, but the combo feels luxurious. I always feel better after taking a contrast shower as compared to normal one. If I had one complaint, and it's hardly one at all, I do wish we can change the sound of the bell. I can't seem to find a happy medium between it being too loud or too soft, so being able to change the sound to something less jarring would be awesome.

First contrast shower using this timer was great. Love the information in the about page. Lost a star because both cold and hot timer have a max of 120 seconds. If hot is recommended to be 3 times longer than cold I feel the hot timer max should be 360. Otherwise the timer gets the job done!
