I guess I’m one of those weirdos in a cold climate who likes finishing off my hot showers with cold water for a couple more minutes. I find it super-refreshing, and can almost relate to the ‘polar bear’ crowd, who seemingly like to finish their saunas off by jumping in to icy water.
I’ve heard of the polar bear club and I totally get it (although they’re a little too extreme for me). The cold shock of relatively cool water when you’ve just come out of hot water is an exhilarating shock, almost like an adrenaline kick.

I said “almost,” right?
