Twice a day.  A nice chilled spray for five minutes.

Why not?  Do it five days running and report back with feedback.

I am saying try cold showers if you don't already.  They are fun.  You are energetic the rest of the day.  Without coffee.

I started doing it a while back.  First few times it was hard.  Nowadays I whistle as I get in.  Just refreshing.  For waking up.  And for going to bed.

Hehehe...pneumonia?

It helps you fight those things.  I know about the courage.  That is something you work on.  First time it feels like an affront to your body.  But afterwards, there is a how not? feeling.

Termie, I have no idea what you are trying to tell Brynn about cold showers, but since you mentioned cold shower, they are very good for quick muscle recovery after a work out.  Science backs it up. Google it.

Yep.  That's true too.  Not to mention minor muscle injuries and bruises.  And it feels very good afterwards.

True, true, true. only started a week ago and I am already used to it.  I only do it after work outs though and not early in the morning.  Alternating between cold and hot is also good but I'd rather just go cold and stop teasing my body.

I had no idea. I always get into the hot tubs in the gym after workout. Maybe that's why sometimes I feel like I'll pass out.

You should.  It also helps burn fat.  Your body uses energy to regenerate the temperature back to its normal. 

The surprising bit I found.  It's easier to shower with colder water than my hands by themselves can handle if I just wash them in it.

Your body will get warmer.the longer you stay in it.  The temps should not be much different than your typical drinking water.

The trick.  I noticed there is no specific part of the body that feels colder than another.  I used to think the back.  Maybe the stomach.  Legs.  The exception is the back of the head.  The head feels it more.

Whichever part you feel is the most scared, start with it.

Maybe I'll start with an ice pack. It would seem cold is easier to handle than cold and wet. I feel the shock in my brain already. I swim in heated pool and still squirm every time I jump in for the first time.

One also gets to brush their teeth while showering.  Kill two birds with one stone.

Termi I'm not good with sarcasm and bitter undertones. If I owe you something tell me overtly and I'll see how to make amends. In any case I'm outta here, this is beyond childish.

It's all said in good faith.  No undertones.  Really.
