One nice thing about stepping out of an ice-cold shower is that, even in the winter, you feel warmer once you’re out. :)

Today it was -9C, (16F) and I shoveled snow bare chested because I was hot. We had 10 inches in Cincy.

I start with a hot shower and finish with a blast of cold. I’ve noticed that my feet are red during the hot part but turn pale when the cold hits. Once they turn pale, I figure it’s time to wrap it up. The body has three types of muscle, and taking a cold shower really works one of them.

Some of us feel the cold more than others. Your body works hard to maintain a core temperature of 37.4C degrees and when you're chilly it closes off your small arteries in the skin. This can make your extremities pale, but it's normal.
