If you’re thinking of taking the polar bear plunge this year, consider these tips:

Practice: Sit in ice baths or take a cold shower for 2-3 minutes in the weeks leading up to the plunge. See your doc: If you have heart issues, check with your physician first, as cold water can cause a spike in heart rate and blood pressure.
