Pop music phenomenon Jennie is freaking out a little bit.
She always does before she begins her favorite wellness activitycold plunging.
Doing the cold plunge right after was a natural thing for me, she says.
That doesnt mean that the bone-chilling practicethought to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and relieve stresscame easily.
The first time was a surprise, Jennie admits with a laugh.
But instantly, I felt like the soreness and tightness of my body went away.
It wasnt just beginners luck.
I set an alarm for two minutes and thirty seconds, she says.
Thats not all the singer tells herself as she breathes through the tingles and pain the cold practice brings.
I often tell myself to toughen up, she says.
You feel ready to go!
It made me believe that I am tougher than I think I am.
