Friends, one of life’s most frustrating things is when you get done taking a warm shower and you are drying off. Sometimes, the room is so steamy or just hot in general that it seems you just can’t dry off. This is especially true in workout clubs. You shower, then try and get dressed for work, all the while under pressure from everyone else in the locker room. It’s just not a pretty picture
Well, I have found an easy solution to this dilemma. It’s called “The Cool Down”. The Cool Down is a process by which after you are done with your shower, but the water is still running, you gradually turn the knob closer and closer to the C (for cold).
Example: You decide to work out before work. You get done with thshower, e workout and hop in the shower. Rinse, wash, rinse. Now, instead of turning the water off and getting out, turn it just a little toward the cold setting. You will feel a small difference, but it will still be warm. Keep it there for a few seconds, then inch it a little closer to Cold.
You keep doing this, and eventually, the water will actually be cold, but since it was a gradual process, your body is instantly used to it. Give yourself an extra 2 minutes or so for the whole process, but you will see that when you get out of the shower, your body is very cool. It’s very refreshing!
Give it a try and report back.
