I just ran about 4 miles...or 6.4 kilometers for those of you who use that blasphemous metric system ;) :whip:
But any way, do you ever feel....I dunno...."healthier" after taking an ice cold shower and working out? I hear that they're supposed to help blood flow and such... |

well i take an icecold shower every morning after regular shower, especially in winter,
1st) it makes u more awake
2nd) the feeling after u stop the cold water and the normal air heats up ur body again s just awesome
3rd) i dont need pullovers anymore!!! dont matter if in school or @ work, ppl always ask me for fun if i came from siybiria ;) , cauze they wear big pullovers n such, and i just with my tight shirts dont even freeze a bit!
i say: try it n if u like it/if its ok for you, do it constantly, it will help u alot, it will keep away illness etc. especially in the winter, u just start stronger n fitter in the day :cool: |

I agree with all of the above. I take cold showers every morning too, my dad got me used to it when I was young. I thought it was just a Russian thing... Back in Russia they have these geriatrics who call themselves the "Walruses" that chop holes in the ice covering rivers in winter and go swiming in it. :nervous: |

Maybe I should have cold showers more, might stop me feeling the cold as much. Wearing layers of clothes is annoying.
I had to have cold showers this summer, when the hot water supply to our shower broke... dunno if I could manage in the winter though, too cold... |

Blasphemous? Why? Because it is logical, systematic and it is used by 99% of the world??
The Metric Systems owns all your USA asses.... :haha: :haha:
All of the measurements in the Imperial system are based on irrelevant and unreliable sources.
Example: The "foot" was originally measured according to the size of the king's foot
Sorry to have a rant, but the Imperial System is just plain outdated and stupid. |

I used to take cold showers all the time when I was younger, I think it's healthier than taking hot showers, maybe prevents aging more...
definitely keeps you awake. :D
However, I heard that you shouldn't take a cold shower right after you've sweated alot, could be bad for your joints or something. :confused: |
