It's been shown that there are great health benefits from taking a cold shower, known as the "James Bond Shower" or "Scottish Shower." Cold showers can:

  1. Increase Alertness
  2. Close Pores
  3. Improve Immunity and Circulation
  4. Stimulate Weight Loss
  5. Speed Up Muscle Soreness and Recovery
  6. Eases Stress
  7. Relieves Depression

Taking a warm shower after a hard morning workout feels great, but it takes a strong person to want to turn the cold nob full blast. Instead, get the health benefits mentioned above by slowly incorporating a little invigoration in your life. 

At the end of your next shower, practice your breath control while strengthening your lungs by taking a deep breath and hold it for 30 seconds as you slowly turn the temperature down to off. After one week at 30 seconds, try increasing the amount of time by 5-15 seconds each week. Come out refreshed, and re-energized.
