Name: Jan Pascoe
Occupation: School Crossing Attendant

Tell us something we don’t know about you.
I’m originally from Perth came to Noosa in the late 80’s was married to a property developer(second marriage) enjoyed the high life for a time. In 1998 went to the United States for a 3 week course doing my spiritual journey, decided to stay for a year had only a credit card. Within a few days of making that decision I had a job as a live in carer, bought a car of the side of the road and in between jobs as a carer I either lived out of my car or stayed with friends where possible. I have travelled a fair bit to the Asian countries, UK and Pacific Islands. I love music, dancing, helping family and friends and making new friends.

What is your favourite Fletch Fitness session?
I don’t have a favourite session I like them all, I think the variations provide are great for brain activity and keeps me learning new techniques.

When you find yourself with 30 minutes of free-time, how do you spend it?
As I love Noosa so much I would go to the Noosa National Park, ride my boogie board at the beach, go cycling. Walk down Hastings street, listen to the street music, take myself off to a restaurant, go to the Sunshine Beach Surf Club and other local venues for the music.

What is currently your main goal?

To enjoy great health and fitness, ingrain more of raw vegan food habit in my life, to heal my body, get more out of life and live fully with lots of energy. My greatest investment in life is my mind and body, and the challenges I create for myself keeps life exciting.

Health – 7 Awesome Benefits of Cold Showering

Cold showers have been proven to have an amazing effect on your well being and health. Something as simple as rotating the temperature gage can really have a big improvement on your life.

1) Cold Showers Build Strong Will Power

Out of all the other articles out there, no one lists this as a positive of taking cold showers, but I personally think it’s the most important. Cold showers build massive will power.

To a cold shower virgin, the amount of will power it takes to take cold showers may seem like that of a Shaolin Monk, because for the common man it is a pretty big jump.

Doing something you are so resistant to, every single day, right when you wake up, takes a lot of mental strength. And overtime, this mental strength and discipline will become an automated habit that echo’s into every area of your life.

2) They Improve Emotional Resilience

Do you get flustered, anxious or pissed off easily?

Cold showers can help. Seriously, cold showers train your nervous system to be more resilient to stress.

As shown in this study, cold showers act as a small form of oxidative stress on your nervous system. And overtime, the body adapts to this. Essentially, you will be a calm, cool, badass dude. The first time you step in that cold shower, you won’t be able to think straight, let alone breath. But after a month, you will be thinking about your day in a Zen like focus as the ice cold water has no effect on your manliness. This will translate into everyday life as you brush off the stress that would typically ruin your mood.

3) They Reduce Stress

Along with increasing your adaptation to stressful situations, they will lower levels of uric acid, and boost levels of Glutathione in your blood – making you less stressed in general.

4) Cold Showers Increase Alertness

If you’re one of the brave souls that have taken a cold shower already, then you will know that at first it is hard to breath.

But don’t be scared. This extreme deep breathing, at 8AM every morning, is going to dramatically increase your oxygen intake & heart rate, resulting in a natural dose of energy throughout the day.

On top of the icy cold water, this deep breathing will leave you feeling alert, instead of a groggy zombie.

5) They’ll Improve Your Skin & Hair

If your not motivated by feeling better, then be motivated by looking better.

One of the best ways to improve your skin (and hair) is by taking cold showers. Plus it’s free!

Ice cold water can help our skin by preventing it from losing too many natural oils. And your hair gets the same benefit.

Along with that, one of the benefits of cold showers is how they will help your hair appear shiny, strong & healthy by keeping the follicles flat and increasing their grip to the scalp.

6) Stimulate Weight Loss

Another way cold showers will make you look better, is by promoting fat loss.

Most people don’t know this, but there are two types of fat in your body. Brown fat & white fat. White fat is bad. It’s the body fat that we all hate so much. Brown fat is good. It’s function is to generate heat and keep your body warm.

When you take a cold shower, brown fat is activated, resulting in an increase in energy and calories burned to keep your body warm. So much so that according to this study, cold temperatures can increase brown fat by 15X the normal amount.

7) Cold Showers Improve Circulation

And if you’re not motivated by feeling better, or looking better, then be motivated by being healthier.

Cold showers improve circulation by means of sending blood down to your organs to keep them warm. This stimulation of the circulatory system is great for your overall cardiovascular health.

So here it is…this is all you have to do. Take a cold shower tomorrow morning, and see how you feel. You can start hot, but end cold, for at least 1 minute. Then see how you feel. If you liked it, then do it again the next day and see how two days in a row made you feel. Remember, just one cold shower at a time :)
