MAY FITNESS TIP!

Raise your hand if you have ever heard of cold plunges?  Now, raise your hand if you said, "Ummm...NOT ME!"  Cold plunges or ice baths are trending now with athletes, celebrities, and beyond for the wellness perks.  There are even places you can go just for this.  The thinking is, when you dip for several minutes in frigid water, the sudden change to your body temp can ignite physiological processes that lead to wins such as improved athletic performance, a revved up metabolism, and a perkier mood. Now, maybe you don't want to jump in a cold bath, but maybe you have an injury on a smaller body part that could really benefit from a short ice bucket dip - this will help soothe achy muscles, decrease swelling, inflammation, and pain.
